Re: remoting options

Peter, here are the steps I employed:-

1. Coded a basic object and compiled it into a dll.
2. Hosted it in IIS on the server with the following lines in web.config:-

<system.runtime.remoting>
<application>
<service>
<wellknown mode="SingleCall" objectUri="CommonFactory.rem"
type="AppOne.Core.Factories.CommonFactory, AppOne.Core"/>
</service>
<channels>
<channel ref="http"/>
</channels>
</application>
</system.runtime.remoting>

3. Created a simple web .aspx page which calls the remote object.
4. Copied the "server dll" into the bin directly on the client.
5. Added the following lines to the web.config on the client

<system.runtime.remoting>
<application>
<channels>
<channel ref="http" useDefaultCredentials="true" port="0">
<clientProviders>
<formatter ref="binary"/>
</clientProviders>
</channel>
</channels>
<client>
<wellknown url="http://testserver2:82/CommonFactory.rem";
type="AppOne.Core.Factories.CommonFactory, AppOne.Core"/>
</client>
</application>
</system.runtime.remoting>

6. I added the following lines to global.asax on the client web app

Sub Application_Start(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As EventArgs)
' Code that runs on application startup
System.Runtime.Remoting.RemotingConfiguration.Configure(Server.MapPath("web.config"))
End Sub


I then invoked the client web page and it worked! I know it invoked a remote
call because I checked the log on the server and I could see the client ip
address made a call to the .rem object...

So I guess what I am saying is that it works, but is using soapsuds the
recommended way to go?

thanks!
