i have a situation where on a linux server i m running a middleware system which is to invoke a COBOL application on a windows 2000 server on the same network.
same network???
how can i do it ? RMI ? or some listening application needs to be installed on the win2K m/c that will listen to linux servers request to run a program ?
thats one possible way... but its too bad.. what language are u doing ur middle ware in? If you are using JAVA which I assume u must be using... try doing Native Methods and use a C wrapper for ur application... lengthy route... but you get a tight system.
