How do I access applications across Firewalls?

In typical deployment scenarios, Servers are located behind firewalls and any remote method interface (RMI) transport layer that attempts to open direct sockets to hosts on the Internet will not be allowed to do so. The default RMI transport provides two alternate HTTP-based mechanisms that enable a client to invoke a method on a remote object residing across the firewall. These are:

• HTTP tunneling when the RMI call is within the HTTP protocol
• Using the default socket factory
