Re: 2-way RMI-Connection

Hi Jeff,

Thanks for your answer. Yes, I want to get access to the server from the 
internet. And  I thought of of polling routine but I think it's the more 
elegant way to let the server tell the client, that there is a status change.
Also it is a matter of understanding how RMI (and Java) works (to both I am a 
bloody beginner). 
There seems to be as possibility to tunnel RMI-Requests through port 80 (but 
most likely only in the direction from client to server).

I would be glad if you could send me some sample code. Many thanks in advance

        Michael
