Thanks! I'll give it a try.
My concern is that this solution doesn't seem to be a J2EE solution,
but more of a Orion specific one. On further thought towards my initial
question,
I wonder if there isn't a simpler solution, it seems to me that one should
be able to
reference the remote machine without any modifications to the config files.
Something like this:
Hashtable env = new Hashtable(5);
env.put(Context.INITIAL_CONTEXT_FACTORY,
"com.evermind.server.ApplicationClientInitialContextFactory");
env.put(Context.PROVIDER_URL, host);
env.put(Context.SECURITY_PRINCIPAL, username);
env.put(Context.SECURITY_CREDENTIALS, password);
InitialContext ic = new InitialContext(env);
Where host is any accessible machine that is running the ejb app in
question,
and is set up to handle the username and password sent. This code works fine
if host is localhost, why not with a remote host?
Eric.

Look in the archives for my post from April 3, 2001, entitled:
"Orion(web) -> Orion(ejb) communication rough mini how to"
You must make sure that your EJB machine (referenced from your Web machine's
rmi.xml) contains at least the same applications as the Web machine (see my
Warning note in original post).
