You won't be able to send raw data to remoting server using socket transport for a few reasons (i.e. using java.net.Socket instead of org.jboss.remoting.Client). The main reason is that the remoting server expects a remoting InvocationRequest object to be sent on the wire (and will reject data if not of this type). One of the reasons this is required is that remoting needs the extra data contained within the InvocationRequest object so it can process the request (such as subsytem so knows which handler to route the request to).
