client-server

Hi,

I need to separate our application into a light-weight gui application and a business logic application. This won't be a client/server setup as such, as the 'server' component will only have one client.

The other limitation in the application is that it has only one entry/exit point. Therefore if we were to use RMI, it would only ever be on one function. All form data is already wrapped up into a string and passed through one transport area.

Should I just use Java Sockets to enhance this application, or go with RMI? Or some other Java technology?

I made a previous post outlining the requirements of our application, however it went unanswered. http://stackoverflow.com/questions/2604528/terminal-panel-pc-single-server-solution-client-server-or-rdp

Cheers.
