I am using gsp & jdbc with jserv and things seem to be working beautifully.
However, in the fielded system I will have to be working across a firewall.
I am using oracle with jdbc thin clients. This is implemented by oracle in
something they call sql net. The protocol it uses is such that when you
wish to make a database connection, you connect to a given port and then
oracle dynamcally creates a new port for you to connect to. A firewall that
allowed you to connect to random ports would not be much of a firewall.
Let Ax be the machine running apache, and Dx be the machine running my
oracle database. Ideally, Dx has no ports available to Ax. Dx is always a
client to Ax.
Does anyone know of a proxy? Or some other work-around?
I am planning on using the jserv ability of running an instance of jserv on
Dx, but that doesn't entirely solve my problem. I will still have to jump
through some hoops to get the firewall to allow connections through the
jserv port. In fact, if jserv were actually a client to apache all my
problems would be solved.
In any case, I bet this is a well traveled road. Solutions?
