The machine where you launch the program is the machine that executes the code. That's pretty universal, you just need to understand the code you're talking about. In your Citrix example, you run the Citrix client on (let's say) your home computer, and that code continues to run there pretty much for all time (until you terminate the program). If that program runs /another/ program remotely and displays the contents, then the remote program has always been remote and you are just being allowed to interact with it at a distance. > Does anyone know which machine will bind? If you are running a webapp, the servlet container will always bind on the server and a traditional webapp never binds to anything at all: the container (Tomcat in this case) handles everything. If you write a program to call-up a web server and request information, your client program will bind to whatever machine it runs on (your home computer perhaps) and the two programs exchange information over the wire. You can't run a program on one machine that binds to a port on another machine, at least without some super-special black magic going on. If you write a web application that creates it's own sockets (which is what we're saying doesn't make any sense to do, but it's hard to tell what on earth you're talking about in the first place), they will bind on the server, never the client. Does that clear anything up? - -chris -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.10 (MingW32) Comment: Using GnuPG with Mozilla - http://enigmail.mozdev.org/ iEYEARECAAYFAk4OEzEACgkQ9CaO5/Lv0PBdRwCglxGxEUtNGQyM4e78TyxB4o+x JuIAnikPTGtj9VyG6CMpIgliu67+VIvp =aIQI -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: users-unsubscr...@tomcat.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: users-h...@tomcat.apache.org
