Your Web server at address:port must be accessible through the firewall. The actions you need to take depend on what the firewall is doing. For example, if the firewall is doing IP filtering, you must open up address:port or perhaps create a proxy to that address:port. If the firewall is doing NAT, you must map an external address:port to your internal address:port. What you need to do has nothing to do with Apache SOAP itself.

I am using Orion 1.5.4 app.server and Apache SOAP 2.2 on my machine which I'll call X. X machine is behind the firewall. I also have an application running on this application server who has EJB components. I've written a soap client to acces one of my EJB components, it looks like: try { URL url = new URL ("http://IP adress:port/regens_app/servlet/rpcrouter;); Call call = new Call(); call.setTargetObjectURI(my service); ................. so on and so forth ................. My client works on Intranet, but How can I acces my X machine from outside (Documentions writte that with SOAP we can go through firewall, I haven't enjoyed). Should I configure the firewall , or what else should I do ? Thanks in advance ! Pop Marius L. _________________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?
