Folks, *Authentication*
AltRMI has been upgraded to allow optional authentication. The server side authenticator is pluggable and the default authenticator authorises all connections. Started are userid/password and pubKey/signed text implementations. AltRMI could be configured so that the following are possible (TODO) : * No auth, open comms * No auth, SSL comms * Auth, open comms * Auth, SSL comms *Session* It now also enshrines a session id. The session id is a long. It is an int serial number shifted left 16 bits with a random int added (to prevent spoofing). *BlockListener* I've written AutoPublisher in Cornerstone CVS that seamlessly publishes any service mentioned in configuration. I can now deletecode from AvalonDB and the AltrmiHelloWorldServer block (that publishes HelloWorldServer service/block) can more or less be deleted. Unfortunately it more or less works by accident as BlockListener is passing the blocks in via blockAdded() in the right order. In a different thread we're talking of a better regime for BlockListener. *Speed* AltRMI uses serialized objects (for a couple of it impls). In the old days speed was definately better if serialVersionUIDs were set for the class. I remember reading that this was not needed for JDK 1.3 and above, but I could be wrong. Does anyone have any experience or advise on this... Regards, - Paul H -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> For additional commands, e-mail: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
