JMS Socket/Proxy reuse problem

[Helge Nilsen]

Hi,

I have challange related to JMS usage of sockets.

A JMS Client connect to a JMS Server over HTTPS through a proxy. My
understanding is that a socket is created between the JMS client and
proxy and another socket is created between the proxy and the remote
JMS Server for single JMS message. Is this correct?

The problem is that a huge number of JMS messages is supposed to be
forwarded from the JMS client to the JMS server each sec.

Is there a way to reuse sockets in this scenario? The JMS Client and
JMS Server will reside in two JVM's but there will be a firewall
between. If the firewall was removed and replaced by a VPN (with
socket layer encryption) would this solve the problem?

Thanks for any pointers!

Best regards,
Helge
