How I can get remote access from a client through a proxy on the server?

[peter_jaxy]

Following situation:

_____________            ____________              _______

| Jboss server |  <---->   | Proxy server |  <----->  | Client |

-----------------------            ----------------------             ------------

I want to communicate from my client through the proxy to my jboss server.

On my jboss server a simple ejb is running.

And I want to have remote access from my client app through the proxy server to my simple ejb.

The ip address of the jboss server is: 10.7.97.48. And I'm able to ping it from my client.

My questions are the following:

How I can find out for sure on the client side, what is the correct ip address of the proxy?

How I have to configure my client application to get remote access through the proxy to my ejb?

Hi

try using the http remoting - this should work through firewalls and proxys

jndiProps.put(Context.PROVIDER_URL, "http-remoting://jboss-server:8080");

IP or name of your server and port depends on your settings.

For EJB invocations you need to ensure that you really use invocation over http.

The general use provide information about the server so the proxy know the real ip address of the server and try to connect it.

Also if you have a clustered EJB the proxy will know the addresses of all EJB servers.

So the proxy in between might be meaningless in this case
