    Is there a NamingService available using http?

      Hi everybody,

      Our application integrates with the systems at our customer's central location. We plan to provide a standard way for integration, which is installing JBoss and using EJBs for data exchange. The problem we have is that our customer just wants communication on port 80 and without RMI.

      Is there a way to replace JNP and use another NamingService, especially one which uses http?

      Reading the documentation and forum topics I could not find any relevant information. Please help me on that problem.

      Thanks
      Michael

          Hello Michael,

          I am currently developing the same kind of application, and I have to deal with the same problem due to firewall restrictions. What I was doing, till recently, is that I used some XML-formatted files to implement client/server communications via a servlet. But I found that JBoss now includes a module named JBoss.net which allows one to create "web services".

          Regards,
          Jerome.

            I believe you should be able to have the jnp server listening on port 80 & have the client requesting onto that port too.

            It should (only) be a matter of modifying your deployment descriptors. As long as you can have non-HTTP traffic going tru the firewall (sockets open tru' 80 are not HTTP request per se).

            You will be probably facing some other issues.
