What architecture to use?
I need to write a client-server application over http.
I know of the 'Java Web Services Developer Pack', but I quiet not sure whether it is stable enough.
What I'm looking for is something like RMI, but as I mentioned it needs to run over http.
Is the answer is SOAP?
Can anyone suggest any stable architecture?

yoren,
Is it possible to fire events from the server to the client with SOAP? If so, I couldn't understand how!

By definition, the server is the one that accepts the events. So, if you want your server to send events/requests to the client, your client needs to be a server too.
I can think of two ways for you to do this:
1. Run an HTTP server on the client and make both sides SOAP clients and servers.
or
2. Have the client periodically send requests to the server of the form "do you want me to execute anything?".
Is this what you wanted?

yoren,
It might be a little bit out of the scope of my question, but I'll appreciate your cooperation:
I'm trying to summarize RMI vs. SOAP:
Security, Firewall port, Installation.
I would be glad to have your input in few words.
Thanks!

As for the developer pack, I would as a rule of thumb stay away from anything called "Early Access 1" if you're concerned about stability :)
