Catherine, you're right. What I described is only a supposed scenario. I would
like to contact the (threads of a) servlet from a third party (another process on
a remote machine) which should communicate using a port and a different protocol.
And the servlet should be able to receive the message and process it.
Is this theory possible or I should start looking for some other solutions? Got
one?
bye,
Robert
