Firewall and Security issues

[Max Fedorov]

Does RMI work through firewall?
How can I make it work?
What is the best way to pass file on the other machine and pass firewall
without problems?
Is URLConnection good for this purpose?

If that is a credit card info will it be secure to pass the file or string
through RMI or CORBA distributed object or by using sockets or URL objects?

RMI request doesn't go through proxy If you want to make it happen you have
to implement custom socket for RMI. If you want to pass credit card info
the best solution is to implement SSL. you can get SSL toolkits freely available.
Either you can use browser's SSL feature to pass your credit card info.
