I’ve got client server application, with JBossAS7 and client which uses remote EJB provided by the server. I have to pass file from client to server, where it will be further processed via InputStream. Also have to pass file from server to client, where on server i get OutputStream. File size is not limited, it might be even 5GB. What can I do to implement solution to this case? Passing byte[] array seems not to be a good solution, RMI limits size what I’ve read. RMIIO is GPL (i need solution free for commercial use). Is http transfer the only reasonable way to do this?

edit: it seems that RMIIO was always LGPL!

    You might consider setting up a Netty Server running on JBoss AS as showed in this Netty Tutorial and pass data using bare sockets.
    Another option is HTTP by means of a simple HTTP Transfer using a Servlet for example.
    I’d exclude EJB since they are transactional component, and admitted you managed to pass this data through RMI-IIOP, you still have to set up a huge Transactional timeout.
    Hope it helps.
