communication between the client jar & yellowfin webservice
8 October, 2009
What occurs when the Yellowfin API method is called, and how is communication between the client jar and the yellowfin web service achieved?
We use axis for our webservices. I'm not sure how communication is implemented within this library.
Axis can be used in any java app.. not necessarily a webapp, so I guess communication is performed with a raw java socket connection or URLConnection.
We have had one client deploy their own code within the same web context.. I think they only added a few jsps to wrap Yellowfin. There is an option to call the services internally and to bypass network communication altogether... However, we have tried this across web-contexts and we were not very successful.
We have tested a simple context to context webservice call and it worked ok.
