2-way RMI-Connection

Hi,

I want to write a client/server program. The client (an applet) can send
commands to the server and the server can send status-information to the
client.

the server binds the command-class to the rmiregistry so the client can
send commands to the server. The other way round the client registers his
status-class in the same rmiregistry, so the server can update the
client's status, when something changes.

This works perfectly well, when client and server are on the same host.
But when the client is on a remote machine it cannot bind the
status-interface to the rmiregistry any more (Access Exception: registry
rebind disallowed from non-local host)

So, how can I bind the status-class on the non-local host, or if this is
not possible, how can I make the server call the applet's status-class??

Is RMI the right tool for this task??

Thanks for any tips

Michael
