Re: [xmlblaster] XmlBlaster with Java WebStart

[inEvo <inevo at netcabo.pt>]

Hi Michele,

First of all thank you for your reply :)

Just some more questions .. since this is a WebStart application can the 
client receive/send messages from/to sources other than the server were 
it resides?  And what about if the client is using a firewall? Wich 
protocols can be tunneled through it?

regards
Nelson
