First of all, thanks a lot for your replies Marc! I have progressed a little bit in my understanding, and I think I managed to get a working system, so I want to describe to you what I have done. If experts are around they could may be comment on the procedure.
Starting from the beginning: - I need to access a JBOSS 4.2.0GA stateless session bean from a remote client. - my client being behind a firewall I decided to pass my invocations via http, but I need to be sure that is http only ! Reading forums + doc I have done the following changes to a standard jboss installation (on a "server" machine). 1) I have added servlet-invoker.war from the jboss remoting 2.0 package (copy the war in deploy dir), performing the following modification in the config file WEB-INF/web.xml: | <param-name>locatorUrl</param-name> | <param-value>servlet://${jboss.bind.address}:8080/servlet-invoker/ServerInvokerServlet</param-value> | <description>The servlet server invoker locator url</description> | 2) I have added a Connector using a xxx-service.xml file that I have created and put in /server/default/deploy | <server> | <mbean code="org.jboss.remoting.transport.Connector" | name="jboss.remoting:service=Connector,transport=Servlet" | display-name="Servlet transport Connector"> | <attribute name="InvokerLocator"> | servlet://${jboss.bind.address}:8080/servlet-invoker/ServerInvokerServlet | </attribute> | <attribute name="Configuration"> | <config> | <handlers> | <handler subsystem="AOP">org.jboss.aspects.remoting.AOPRemotingInvocationHandler</handler> | </handlers> | </config> | </attribute> | </mbean> | </server> | Now I start jboss running with option -b : | run.sh -b myhost.domain.name | I think this is important in order to associate the hostname to the variable jboss.bind.address, so to avoid ip number substitutions that would have a bad effect on the firewall.... 3) I have installed on the same jboss-server machine a Squid proxy server, configured to listen to port 3128 with the appropriate acl (see Squid documentation) 4) I have forwarded the 3128 port into localhost 13128 using ssh tunneling (-L options) 5) now I can for example access the JMX console if I configure in my web browser the proxy server to be localhost 13128 6) I run the client program using in java command line the options: | java -Dhttp.proxyHost=localhost -Dhttp.proxyPort=13128 xxxx | and it works ! Now my question is : Could I avoid to use an external proxy server ?
