Proxy Server in java - java

I am new to java.I need to develop a proxy server for IBC 2011 conference.I have some Questions regrading the Proxy server.
1.I am going to develop the proxy server using java.
Suppose A(sending the information) to B(receive the message) through the proxy server.
Here A is sending the information through HTTP serves(application running in A is a wed application) how can i receive the information send by A in proxy server and how can I forward it to the B which is also a HTTP serves.
2.What r the Things I have to now before I start developing the proxy server.
3.How can i get the information from the HTTP protocol.
4.How can i check frequently for the any message is there in line to forward to B from A or B to A.
Can any one helpme.Thanks in advance.

Use one of these instead http://proxies.xhaus.com/java/. Rolling your own proxy implementation will be much harder than you think once you've taken all the intricacies of HTTP into account.

there are many libraries which can you use.
for the A and B they can running hessian server(for listening) + client(for sending)
and for the proxy server you can use JMS + hessian server + client same as for A and B.
In this way you can send java objects.
But hessian is only on suggestion you can use RMI or spring remoting or maybe web services.
By far which a have working hessian is the fastest and very easy to develop.
from 1 to 4 you ask how to design a application which is out of the scope and you need to do it by you self :).

I did something similar in my course project.
As far as i am concerned, the core knowledge u need to learn about java for this a proxy server is socket programming.
you can setup two sockets: one communicates between your proxy server and the web browser, the other communicates between your proxy server and the target server.
Also, you will need some knowledge about thread in Java, open one thread for each connection will be a efficient way.
And I assume that you already have the knowledge about those computer networking stuffs like http, tcp.etc.

Java Server and client/ RMI or Socket?

I'm developing a Desktop LAN base java server and client application
where a Client must login and also to pass some data to server.
assuming i have 10 clients that inserting record simultaneously to server.
which is the best approach in this kind of situation, should I use RMI for login and record insertion? or Sockets?
if sockets please provide a key idea for me to start with.
key points to consider
-Multithreading
-able to send back data on client
If you want to connect your server via internet (and/or firewalls) it is probably a hassle to do this with plain RMI. In the past I have used Java Simon for such tasks which is very easy to implement. However if you plan to support other clients than Java clients, then you should have a look at Apache Thrift or Google Protocoll Buffers

Java RMI for implementing server side of system

I am developing system, that consists of client (written in JavaFX) and server. Now I am going to implement server. Users will download clients. Clients will communicate with server (only one server and many clients). Server will communicate with data base and send results. Server will support authentication and different requests (not http of course). Is it a good idea to implement server with Java RMI? If no, could you advice me any good idea about server realisation.
Thanks a lot for future questions!
RMI is bit kind of traditional but still powerful to me ,it has some draw back . But, despite the RMI there is also a chance for you to use java sockets class ? just like a client -server application ...

cross language api for this client server communication model

my question is following up from this question:
Simple Protocol Concept in Java for this setup
The idea is exactly the same i.e client will send request and server respond with some information:
However i want a well known protocol implemtation such that the server/client can be implemented in any programming langguage. So that client Running java can communicate over TCP/IP sockets to remote app written in C e.g.
for this reason, can you recommend any well known opensource implementation?
Just few tips:
Rest interface: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Representational_state_transfer
Corba: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Common_Object_Request_Broker_Architecture
Apache Thrift: http://thrift.apache.org/
Google Protocol Buffers: https://developers.google.com/protocol-buffers/
your own implementation over tcp...
it depend on your architecture and your requirement, you can use TCP protocol directly, Http is another choice, if your server deployed on a http server, i recommend using web service. i hope my answer will give you some ideas.

How to invoke client method without using RMI

i am developing a client/server program in which i want to invoke a method of client program
through server program.
this is vnc based application in which the server will be running and listening to any arbitrary port number .... the client will connect to the server using a method which has argument in the form of ip and port number of server.
after that the server will be able to take control of the client's screen.
i want to call this method from server !!
i want to add a facility in which the client will submit a request and server will then connect to the client ..
i have heard about RMI but i want to know is there any other way available to achieve this if not pls post some good tutorial links on RMI .
RMI is a Java-only way for network programming or method calling but Web Service is language-independent. By web service you can integrate some application.
But my recommendation is using MOM systems. This type of system support two approach : Synchronous Model and 'Asynchronous Model'. In Java MOM is implemented via JMS.(look in here). JMS is an API and have several implementation such as :
Apache ActiveMQ
Open JMS Queue and etc
better than RMI, you could make a web service and a client for it :)

writing desktop application for connecting with server

I'm working on a server client base "Desktop Application". And what I want to do is this,
Client application sending some request code to server through internet(oh yes, these connections must be secured). and when server application gets this code it will again do some work and gather some data.
And then server application will return those data again to the client application.
As I am new in this, I need to know, what kind of tools to use?
Is eclipse good for that?
Where can I find good examples for writing client?
Where can I find examples for connecting client with server side?
I'd recomend checking out apache httpclient it really helps when dealing with web APIs.
