Lets suppose I have a dedicated server, perhaps a virtual private server, hosted on the world wide web. If I opened up the firewall for the RMI port and wrote a Swing app which communicated using RMI. a) I assume that would work as long as I got the right ports and the client did not have a blocking firewall (otherwise they figure out the right ports like 1099). b) Is is easier and possible to run RMI over HTTPS instead?
