I believe that messaging is a good solution. A Socket connection should work. You may want to used the Messaging Design Pattern (MDP) for this:
a) Messaging Design Pattern and a distributed Component/Service Model https://jt.dev.java.net/files/documents/5553/149793/MDPdistributedModel.pdf This would provide the communication mechanism. For additional information please refer to the following URLs: a) Java Pattern Oriented Framework, An application of the Messaging Design Pattern IBM Technical Library http://www.ibm.com/developerworks/webservices/library/ws-designpattern/index.html b) Messaging Design Pattern (MDP) and pattern implementation - Published in the 17th conference on Pattern Languages of Programs (PLoP 2010). https://jt.dev.java.net/files/documents/5553/150311/designPatterns.pdf You can also use Jt Web services in case you decide to use an intermediary Web server.
