If application is for Internet use, you should only rely on HTTP passing
through various firewalls. The easiest way to get information back to
the server is probably to write a Servlet which runs in a web server on
the server machine and accepts the data you want to send as CGI style
requests. You may be able to tunnel RMI or IIOP through HTTP, but that
is a more complicated solution.

If you can use protocols other than HTTP you could write files to the
server using FTP (very crude, but useful if you can't run a servlet on
the web server) connect to a relational database or send email.
