RMI over HTTP

[lvuong]

Hi,

I wonder if by default, the RMI communication between the java applets and the server (RMI) is encapsulated within HTTP or not in 10.2 version

I think in 10.2, the properties for RMI over HTTP is already enabled by default. So once boot.jar is pushed to client jre, if a direct connection fails, the communication will be tunneled over http

RMI tunneling over HTTP is enabled by default in 10.2 M030, but not in earlier releases of 10.2. This is because JRE 8 is supported as of 10.2 M030. JRE 8 prevents applets from making direct RMI connections, so RMI tunneling over HTTP is required. See CS165748 for information on Java8 and RMI tunneling.

Hi,

thank you for your answer : So the RMI setup  is done automatically at client side for HTTP. but in case of HTTPS, it works also ?

and what about server side? we need to configure a property different from the default value ?

You don't have to do anything specific even  on the server. The properties comes default in starting 10.2 M030. No setting specific to HTTPS
