Application Security Testing: An Integral Part of DevOps

Those of you who already know me as
The Remoting Guy won't be surprised to hear that I was positively excited when I read the first announcement of Intrinsyc's Ja.NET. This product promises to extend the reach of .NET Remoting to Java by supporting bi-directional communication between Java clients or servers and .NET clients or servers. I really couldn't wait to get my hands on it to test it in some real-world-like scenarios.
Installation
Download and installation were absolutely straightforward. It was more or less a matter of click next, next, nextdone. When
downloading Ja.NET for evaluation you will receive a 60-day evaluation license which is sent to you by email.
Author Note: Save the emailed license file to a directory because you will need it later when editing the configuration files. |
Because .NET Remoting lets you pass objects by value or by reference, the first thing I wanted to test is whether Ja.NET fully supports both. To do this, I implemented a set of tests in both Java and C# that check for client side and server side interoperability between Java and .NET.
