Binary remoting is faster then HTTP remoting, but there are times when HTTP is required. I want to make sure I got this part right.
1) It is required when going through firewalls, correct (without opening up dedicated ports)? 2) Although not required, it is helpful to use HTTP remoting to utilized the security functions of IIS, correct? Our app will be running within our intranet. I'm not sure if that means it's all within a firewall or not but I think it will be. I used to use remoting for a DotNet client to a DotNet server through the internet or in cases where the client couldn't access the DB server. If I don't need to go through a firewall, then with the power of client machines today and a lot of users of the system, wouldn't the application run faster with having the middle-tier on the client machine assuming the client can access the DB server (clients don't bog down the server's memory)? =================================== This list is hosted by DevelopMentor® http://www.develop.com View archives and manage your subscription(s) at http://discuss.develop.com
