What are best network protcols to use for an java application client (e.g. swing, etc. ) to communicate to a remote server through a firewall ? Practically, I am thinking to use (xml through https/http). Is this is the xml-rpc ? We can do rmi tunneling. However, It is not as good as xml-rpc ? Please clarify for me. Thanks Ruilin

What kind of server is it? I would consider SOAP i.e. XML over HTTP/HTTPS, basically

XML-RPC and Soap are two different protocols. Soap is newer and cooler . Check out the Fall '01 JAX Pack from Sun, which includes the JAXM Soap messaging package. It exposes Soap at a pretty low level, for something more high level you'll have to wait a bit longer for JAX-RPC; it promises to make Soap method calls as easy as RMI method calls. Also have a look at Apache SOAP and Apache Axis. For an XML-RPC implementation, see for example Apache XML-RPC. - Peter [This message has been edited by Peter den Haan (edited December 13, 2001).]
