I am currently investigating deploying a Java based application.

I would like to be able to connect the application to the database using
TCP/IP over
ethernet. The system administrator is happy with an RPC connection (which
I have a solution for) however ethernet would be ideal as the backup db can
only be reached via ethernet.

The problem the sysadmin says he has is that an ethernet connection also
provides a potential 'hole' in the firewall. There is a lot of info on the
'internal' Java security but not much on external stuff (If indeed this is
a Java issue).

Is there any data/FAQ information available on Java -ethernet.

The webserver is Unix based

Thanks

Peter
