Newbie question about JMS tunelling through HTTPS

Hello,

I have a newbie question. First some background:

We have an application that sits in an environment where only outgoing HTTP connections are allowed. This application needs to do two things: (1) send data to a remote server over the internet (2) receive commands from the same remote server. The occurence of (1) and (2) is completely independent of each other. In other words, function (1) is invoked at random times, and function (2) is also invoked at random times.

My question: can we use JMS tunneled through HTTPS to implement the above two functions? HTTP is a request-response protocol, and the remote server is not allowed to make HTTP requests to our application. So how does it send a message using JMS-over-HTTPS? In other words I do not understand how function (2) above will be realized.

Your help will be highly appreciated.

Regards
Nadeem
