Re: Connecting to a Jeri exported server without a LookupService / NamingService

Yes, you can do this... sort of.  That is, you don't need a lookup service to 
get the proxy, but you do need the proxy.

I use JERI to comminucate between a client (java webstart app) and a server 
(running inside a servlet). On servlet init, I start the server, export the 
implementation, and then use an ObjectOutputStream to write the proxy into a 
byte[]. The servlet has an http method (a URL the client knows) which 
delivers the bytes. The client uses ObjectInputStream and casts the result to 
the service interface. 

It took  a bit of time to figure out the minimal client-side classes to 
support JERI (specifically, classdep includes for my ant build) as I didn't 
want to bundle all of jsk-platform.jar with the client. I could post that if 
it is useful. 

I am sure there are other solutions along these lines, but this seems pretty 
minimal.
