Hello,

we use a framework of jboss instances communicating with each other (no cluster). We use the ExternalContext Mbean to have a federated namespace, and this works very well. One issue remains:

You need a lot tcp connections between jboss instances to make RMI, JNP and HTTP (incl. Classloading) possible. It will be hard to get this through all firewall we'll encounter.

Question: Is it possible to tunnel _all_ protocols through one http(s) stream? Anyone tried something like beep (http://www.beepcore.org/beepcore/home.jsp)?

Thanx for any hint,
Dirk
