Can the client connect to a Jboss server through socket conn

[jisremoba]

Hi,

Can we implement a user defined server socket class in JBoss and open a normal socket connection to this server socket? If so, what all are the configurations that we should do? It is some thing like the client should be able to open a normal socket connection to the server deployed on JBoss (Not http requests). i.e. the server should be able to listen and accept the normal socket connections from the client.

Thanks in advance,
Jis.

Yes.

No JBossAS configuration changes are necessary - you are essentially writing your own service. You should package your service in a sar file, and provide a *-service.xml file.

You are going to have to handle the protocol between the client and your service, JBossAS will not help you in this regard mainly because you are not using any of the existing Java EE services that JBossAS provides.

Thankyou Peter for the quick response.

Am new to Jboss. So could you please give me some link which describes on how to write a service in Jboss.

I got some information on how to write a service. I will try that out. Thanks again.
