Question

I’m working on my Bachelor’s dissertation and I decided to develop a client / server application.
I already tried ActiveMQ but I’m not 100% sure if that is the right solution.

The thing I need is simply a server application which provide methods; these methods should be called by the client modules.

Both – client and server – has access to for example a GreetingService Interface:

public interface GreetingService {
  public String sayHello();
}

The implementation of the GreetingService is made on the server side. In the example above the sayHello()-Method could return the string “hello”.

My client application should now call the sayHello()-Method from the interface and get the return value from the GreetingServiceImpl.

I hope my example was close enough. Which tools / framework / etc. can you suggest me?

Working with the same kind of problems. There are many ways of dealing with this, the best and easiest way I can think of java Remote Method Invocation services.
