[wildfly-dev] EJB over HTTP

[Darran Lofthouse]

I wonder how much this should be integrated with the new client that 
David is currently working on, if the two were closely integrated it 
would make it much easier for clients to switch between the two as well 
as taking advantage of all of the new shared configuration.

Server side Elytron will have a full set of HTTP mechanisms so all the 
mechanisms you list will be available going forward.  Would this be used 
for server to server as well or just client to client?  We may end up 
with additional requirements that we already have for native calls 
regarding clients running with multiple identities and the propagation 
of identities from server to server.

Regards,
Darran Lofthouse.
