We have been using RMI for the past two years and our NASA customer has
decided that security is an issue. They have introduced firewalls that
block all ports with the exception of port 80 & 1099. Since RMI randomly
selects a port number when a Remote Object is created, the client can never
access the remote objects interface methods. We have started to look at all
possible options and Servlet technology is a possibility. I have reviewed
several tutorials and I know enough about Servlets to be very dangerous.
My question is: What are the advantages / disadvantages to using Servlets?
I have a great deal of facts concerning the advantages, but I have very
little arguments against Servlets. Can you briefly supply some
disadvantages to using Servlets? ... and/or why you would use a Servlet
verses not using one.
Many Thanks
RSummers
