Due to the current gap in continued funding from the U.S. National Science Foundation (NSF), the NSF Unidata Program Center has temporarily paused most operations. See NSF Unidata Pause in Most Operations for details.

Re: RMI and firewalls

I don't have access to any firewalls, but according to Sun's
RMI FAQ at http://java.sun.com/products/javaspaces/faqs/rmifaq.html,

  30. How does RMI work with firewalls?

  When Java RMI reaches a firewall, it goes through three stages to
  try and pass it. It attempts to use a direct socket connection.

  If this fails, RMI tries HTTP tunneling. Finally, RMI tries to
  pass through by using a cgi-bin script.

So (theoretically, at least) if there's a way through the firewall,
it sounds like RMI will find it :-)
