Part II about firewall

[xiaolin yu]

Should the FBN system use the firewall? If it does, then travel agent could not communicate with the EJB tier directly by RMI. Because the RMI-IIOP could not break through the firewall. The only possible way is to use HTTP. Is that possible that travel agent inside the firewall?
Thanks!!

RMI-IIOP can go thru a firewall. Anything can go thru a firewall... if the firewall is configured to allow it. No mention is made of security constraints, therefore you can make any assumptions that you wish.

Hi,Chris:
Thanks a lot for your help. It depends on the firewall filtering configuration.
I have another question: in the background there is a requriement about "Frequent Flyer Mileage System"
--"..., but would like to have the content available to the customer using the web and the travel agent using an application. This system was developed using Perl, HTML, CGI and an Oracle database."
Should we get content of "Frequent Flyer Mileage System" from EJB tier or not?
Thanks again!

Hey, guys. I'm not the police, but you shouldn't be quoting anything from the test. It's supposed to be confidential.
Regards,
Paul

Sorry for posting original words. I think I have got the answer.

This is entirely for you to decide. The project is all about making choices, so make one.
