Hi Vince, again I've to say, great help!! Now the clouds are about to over. One more thing I've in mind which i need to clear with you.
As in our current setting, we have a concept of POS Terminals (So many) and another server (One Central Server). To do proper synchronization, we specify IP of the server in entity-sync-rmi of serviceengine.xml. For push, its ok, POS Terminals are calling RMIDispatcher of Central Server (with proper URL), but in case of PULL, it is really confusing to me. Where we need the definitions of all POS Terminals attached? If our Central Server is located somewhere on web, for pull is any kind of DNS setting is required for the network where all POS Terminals are existing for PULL? I know, may be my mind is struggling around the fact what you said "direction of the sync (PUSH or PULL) doesn't matter". Regards, Ajey Vince Clark wrote: > > 1.
