To contact 3rd party application from within EJB container

Hi,

There is one more.

Web Services which is much powerful than any other.

Ofcourse for this also u have to use socket communication and http protocol.

SOAP(Simple Object Access Protocol).. I think u got it..

I prefer SOAP as it has many adavantages over RMI and other.

Thanks,

All the best.

Ofcourse,You can circumvent the restrictions..

There are many soap servers availabe which are meant to embed in applilcation server.For example Apache-AXIS still in beta version(but powerful),Apache-SOAP.

If u need to maintain connection pooling for 3rd party systems,use JCA(Java Connector Architecture) which is much better than the above soap servers.

In this you could use the availble soap implementations..so u could save time for implementaion even.
