    [ https://issues.jboss.org/browse/AS7-4714?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=12731329#comment-12731329 ] 

Will Tatam commented on AS7-4714:
---------------------------------

Correct me if I'm wrong, but isn't this actually much easier than it used to be ?

The reason I say this is the new recommended way of connecting remotely is to use the new EJB client stuff, which uses jboss-remoting. I'm not sure about the new jboss-remoting version 3 project, but I believe in version 2 you could change the transport from socket to say http by just changing the locator url, so can't we just change AS7 so that as well as binding an invocation handler to port 4447 we could also attach one to a known url? Then all we need is to change jndiProps.put(Context.PROVIDER_URL,"remote://localhost:4447"); to something like jndiProps.put(Context.PROVIDER_URL,"remote-http://localhost:8080/ejb-client");

Am I over simplifying things massively ?
