Pushing data from backend to server

Hi,

I have an application server running some EJBs. Periodically, I need to
send notification of events from the backend, to clients accross the
internet. Both The app server and clients are behind proxy servers and
firewalls.

I know that I have to use HTTPS and tunneling, but thats about as far as
I can get. Despite hours of searching Google, I have not found anything
really useful. Can this be done?. If yes, could anyone please shed some
light on how I can achieve this, i.e. send data from the backend to clients?

Many Thanks

Paul

Depending on the notification frequency, you could consider having the clients
poll the server for new events.
