Ever try to write a J2EE
application accessing EJBs
across a firewall? It can be
messy, and developers often
must resort to all kinds of
workarounds, none of them
particularly
"neat." Developers
often write a servlet to
intercept HTTP requests and
delegate them to EJBs, which
is kind of a kludge. Another
approach that uses tunneling
technologies-such as RMI
over HTTP-can entail a big
performance hit. But there
is a better way. You can
solve this problem elegantly
by using Java Secure
Socket Extension (JSSE).
