You could use SOAP to remotely call procedures from a server, but it sounds more like you're building a chat network and need authentication between client and server.
Once you establish a connection to the server, the client would send a packet with some data in it. The server parses this data and determines what the client is asking, it then responds.

If both Client and Server are Java applications, then the simplest way would be using RMI .If the Server wants to multicast the messages, then RMI will not help you becuase RMI relies on clients server communication. There is an open source project from jgroups which help you to do the same.

Your client has to invoke the methods defined in server using RMI. It is easy to accomplish in RMI and you don't want to know about the underlying communication mechanism. Please refer RMI tutorail to do the same.
