Hey Andrew, By no means this is an advertisement of Openfire. :) Openfire is an XMPP server (real-time communication protocol based on XML) that uses MINA. In XMPP you can use RPC or ad-hoc commands to control remote entities (e.g. servers, clients, components, etc.). Clients usually connect to XMPP servers on port 5222. Connections could be encrypted or unencrypted.

Basically I'm looking for a form of RMI, but where server is initiating calls back to the client process, once the client connects. I have no ability to do port forwarding on the client's firewall. Does JXTA support this? If not any suggestions? Thanks, Andrew
