[jboss-user] [Remoting] - Re: bisocket usage as a tunneling connection

[ron.sigal@jboss.com]

The answer is "yes".

With the bisocket transport you don't need to worry about a keep-alive problem.  You can configure the socket timeout value to be zero, so the sockets will stay open indefinitely.  In fact, you don't even need to rely on setting the timeout value to zero.  The client will create new sockets as needed.

Remoting has a callback mechanism which allows the server to send invocations to the client in an asynchronous manner.  See Section "5.6. Callbacks" in the Remoting Guide (http://labs.jboss.com/jbossremoting/docs/guide/index.html).

The socket transport, from which bisocket is derived, maintains a connection pool on the client side and a worker thread pool on the server side.  The same is true, in reverse, with respect to callbacks going from the server to the client.

There is an sslbisocket version of bisocket.

anonymous wrote : is bisocket the tool for me?

Yes, I believe it could be.

anonymous wrote :  if it is - how?

Ah, well, I'd say take a look at the Remoting Guide and the sample code in the distribution.
