Http vs "http tunneling" using visual c++ as client

Question

Is there any performance benefit of using "http tunneling" vs http?
Our client application is a visual c++ app.

Answer 1

HTTP tunneling, in the WebLogic sense, means tunneling our RMI wire
protocol (i.e., T3) over HTTP. You won't be able to do that from a
Visual C++ client without a lot of nasty JNI code (since you would have
to use our java classes on the client to be able to accomplish that).
You might want to consider using IIOP, WebServices, or jCOM to integrate
the client...
Hope this helps,
