Hi, Thank your for your response. Here is the source where I get those directives: http://www.geocities.com/dmh2000/ApacheTomcatRMI.htm What I try to achieve is to implement HTTP tunneling for RMI. I implemented it successfully on my laptop locally. I have Apache2/Tomcat and latest jdk.
But When I try to implement it with the target environment I am encountering this issue. 1)The JAVA client can make calls to Internet without any proxy. 2)HTTP tunneling only works with port 80 because it is harcoded in sun client libraries.(see java-rmi.cgi doc) 3)On the server side the http://oexdev.oracleoutsourcing.com/ maps to http://auohsepcb11.oracleoutsourcing.com:10280/ Something on the server side does the trick (Reverse proxy..I do not know exactly) So the idea first was to make: RewriteRule ^/cgi-bin/java\-rmi\.cgi$ http://oexdev.oracleoutsourcing.com/servlet/ServletHandler [P] as explained by RMI-HTTP tunnel docs But the issue is that with this configuration the servlet is not called though the rewrite.log shows that rewrite is correctly handled.(Issue A) (Note that escaping the - is working and is recommended as it is a reserverd char (see http://www.geocities.com/dmh2000/ApacheTomcatRMI.htm)) It is important to pint it that RMI server runs with the real on hostname:auohsepcb11.oracleoutsourcing.com on defaul port 1099 So the only way to make the servlet called is to use the configuration below: RewriteRule ^/cgi-bin/java\-rmi\.cgi$ http://auohsepcb11.oracleoutsourcing.com:10280/servlet/ServletHandler [P] Servlet is called ... open the socket to the RMI server ... get reponse from RMI server ... and write the DATA to servlet response but at this step the response is not returned to the client.(Issue B) I hope I am enough clear. I have the feeling that if Issue A was solved it should do the trick but With Issue B I am a bit further and have the feeling that I am near the solution If I could ensure that servlet response is returned to the client.
