Hi,
Good day!
I have a 3-tier enterprise
j2ee application running on weblogic. Now i have a requirement to develop a thin swing client that shall desirably connect to the business layer (EJBs) directly.
As per standard, my weblogic servers are behind firewall and only http/s on port 80/443 is allowed.
So what are the options for the connection between thin client and EJB?
1. WebLogic T3 HTTP tunneling. However, as we are not enforcing role based authentication and authorization (A&A) in EJBs currently, by HTTP tunneling, all EJBs are exposed to public.....
2. Web Services, overhead is tremendous. Host based PKI A&A can be expensive.
3.....???
Thanks in advance!
