I have been learning/Ageing with RMI over the last few weeks. I can get my distributed application running over a lan without a problem. My problem is when it comes to placing the server (and registry) behind a firewall. I've tried severly tutorials on HTTP Tunnelling with RMI and all have confused and failed. I'm Running Apache 2 integrated with Tomcat4.1 running on windows 2000, the RMI registry is also running on this machine and the RMI Server (I think i have also rerouted the java-rmi.cgi script requests on to the
Tomcat servlethandler correctly).
All the documentation i've read say this is possible but so far I've had no joy whatsoever. Can any body please confirm that they have got this working in a similar sort of enviroment and maybe point me at a good reference site. Slowly going mad.
