JBoss Remoting 3 in JBoss AS 6.0.0.GA?

[okr2004]

Hi!

We are writing on an article about the JBoss AS6 and have the following questions to you: Which version of JBoss Remoting will be part of the JBoss AS 6.6.0.GA? The current version of JBoss Remoting 3 is a beta version. What are the main improvements in JBoss Remote 3?

Thanks und many greetings from Berlin,

Hi Oliver,

AS 6 will ship  with Remoting version 2.5.3, I believe.  AS 7 will ship with some version of Remoting 3.

Remoting 3 is a completely different code base from Remoting 2, with a completely different set of concepts.  I think the properties that will be most noticeable externally are:

1. Connections are symmetric.  That is, once a connection is established from host A to host B, it can be used to send from B to A as well.  The asymmetry of callbacks will be gone.

2. The default transport will support multiple "conversations".  So, in principle, it should be possible for a server to support all its services with a single port.  Administrators will be happy.
