It appears that the solution to every other problem is a custom MBean, so I'll suggest using a custom MBean ;). Furthermore, I'm by no means an expert on the connector doodah, but isn't this pretty much what it's for? Couldn't you write a custom connector and access the other machine through that resource? Depending on the nature of the other system I suppose the session bean could communicate through a JMS queue, but that depends on the manner of communication. The receiving end of the queue could be a proxy running in another JVM and doing all the necessary networking stuff.
