can applet use RMI-IIOP to connect WEB container or EJB container?
sorry for the silly question.

[Chris Mathews]

Communication to an Application Server (a client does not talk directly to an EJB Container) is actually recommended to use RMI-IIOP in EJB 2.0. Communication with a Web Container however takes place over HTTP or HTTPS.

Applet can talk to EJB container using RMI-IIOP with the help of HTTP Tunneling, if it is outside firewall. If there are no firewall issues, then applet can talk to EJB container using RMI-IIOP. Generally web container uses HTTP/HTTPS protocol for talking to applet clents and RMI-IIOP protocol for talking to EJB container.
