But I have read that JBoss has a naming service which can be accessed remotely. Reference from jboss4-j2ee.pdf: 2.2. The JBossNS Architecture The JBossNS architecture is a Java socket/RMI based implementation of the javax.naming.Context interface. It is a client/server implementation that can be accessed remotely. The implementation is optimized so that access from within the same VM in which the JBossNS server is running does not involve sockets. Same VM access occurs through an object reference available as a global singleton. And you have the java.naming.provider.url property to indicate the url and port in which this service will be availabe. Am I wrong?
