Instead of calling it server push, I like to call it client pull. The client uses some RPC mechanism to contact the server.
check out google suggest with a mozilla base browser like firefox: http://www.google.com/webhp?complete=1&hl=en I haven't looked at the details, but I'm guessing its using soap libraries in mozilla to retrieve information from some backend service. I have a tutorial at http://sulu.sourceforge.net how to interface with a .NET webservice using apache axis generated java stubs. If you have control over what your backend and front-end is, don't use webservices. Use webservices only as a least common denominator for interoperability. Build your system using whatever technology you like J2EE, CORBA, JINI, JXTA, whatever, then layer on a webservice adapter for interoperability. --- Arin Gehlhausen <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Has anyone tried this?
