That's one scenario, but it's not the only one. What you are essentially describing is a read request, write response. The reader sends a request to the writer telling it what it wants and the writer sends a response which the reader can read. > > Background is, that the items that the writer will put into > the pipe-stream are "precious" and must not be wasted. > Kind of like reading back a stream of serialized data, where > each de-serializing object must not consume more than its own > bytes, but the Object needing its data is on a different host > than the byte stream. That's just an analogy - don't stress it. When I need to do something similar I use either GenericServlet or RMI. Normally servlet for inter-host and RMI for inter-process, but there's no reason why you can't use either approach for either solution. Both of them are suitable for request/response operations. RMI has less overhead because it doesn't require a servlet engine, just the rmiregistry.
