How to use Remoting 2 with J/Boss 4.2.3?

[mcphersondb]

We have a J2SE application that currently exposes WebServices via Axis2, to an EJB running within J/Boss 4.2.3. What we would like to do is convert the WebServices to RMI and use J/Boss as the repository of the remote objects. What I have not been able to find is an example where a server makes its’ objects available via J/Boss + Remoting. I imagine that I have to contact J/Boss on the RMI port configured in default/conf/jboss-service.xml but that is about as far as I have gotten. Is there a MBean I need to call?

In my research to-date, I have been able to use java.rmi to create a local registry in the J2SE application and have the EJB make the appropriate calls on the objects stored in the local registry. My next step was to create a org.jboss.remoting.transporter.TransporterServer within the J2SE application. But this seems unnecessary if there is already a server running within J/Boss. (Or am I wrong?)

Any assistance will be greatly appreciated.

Hi Darryl,

What you're asking for is a service above the level of Remoting.  I mean, you could write a special purpose Remoting server, but it probably isn't necessary.  If your EJB has access to all the objects you want to access, why not work with the EJB?  In any case, I'm going to suggest you pose the question on the "Installation, Configuration, and Deployment" forum (http://community.jboss.org/en/jbossas/config).  Good luck.
