I've inherited some code and it doesn't look complete, and I'm not even sure that it will work- at least with Orion. So...
We've got multiple servers- some are always connected, some are only connected periodically, some are only connected when the sysadmin physically performs some task and then only for a limited time. The goal is that we'd like to be able to "push" a message to a specific server through user control. We know all of the addresses of all the possible machines ahead of time, so having the user enter a JNDI name is not an issue, and I can setup a servlet/whatever to provide this selection process. The previous programmer on this project thought that JMS would be a good solution for this, with each server being a JMS server. However I'm not certain that this is going to work-- at least not with Orion out of the box. Current Basic flow: Client creates a temporary queue for message responses Client selects a particular machine (i.e. JNDI name) We write to a Queue on the remote server, setting reply to to be the temp queue on the "local" JMS server. Remote system processes message and sends back a response to the temp queue. Is the above in any way, shape, or form feasible with Orion? I've been doing a crash course on JMS (thanks to O'reilly), but after reading the books and the Orion docs, I'm thinking that this may be better suited for a servlet based approach. Any help is appreciated! robert hedin NDS Systems, Inc.
