Spring Remoting Support with Http Invoker

March 15, 2012   Java, Software, Spring

Spring HTTP Invoker is an important solution for Java-to-Java Remoting. This technology uses the standard Java serialization mechanism to expose services through HTTP and can be thought as an alternative solution instead of the custom serialization found in Hessian and Burlap. Also, it is only provided by Spring so both client and server applications have to be based on Spring.

Spring supports HTTP invoker infrastructure via HttpInvokerProxyFactoryBean and HttpInvokerServiceExporter. HttpInvokerServiceExporter that exports the specified service bean as HTTP invoker service endpoint, accessible via an HTTP invoker proxy. HttpInvokerProxyFactoryBean is a factory bean for HTTP invoker proxies.

Also Spring Remoting Support & RMI article is offered for Spring Remoting introduction and RMI Service & Client sample project.

Let us look at Spring Remoting Support to develop Http Invoker Service & Client.

Used Technologies :

JDK 1.6.0_31
Spring 3.1.1
Tomcat 7.0
Maven 3.0.2

Spring Remoting Support and Developing RMI Service

March 4, 2012   Software, Spring

The development of remote-enabled services is eased by Spring remoting support. Currently, Spring supports the following remoting technologies: Remote Method Invocation (RMI), HTTP Invoker, Hessian, Burlap, JAX-RPC, JAX-WS and JMS.

Remote Method Invocation (RMI) : Spring supports RMI via RmiProxyFactoryBean and RmiServiceExporter. RmiServiceExporter exports any Spring-managed bean as an RMI service and registers. RmiProxyFactoryBean is a factory bean creating a proxy for an RMI service. This proxy object talks with remote RMI services on behalf of the client.

Spring’s HTTP invoker : Spring HTTP invokers use the standard Java serialization mechanism to expose services through HTTP. Spring supports HTTP invoker infrastructure via HttpInvokerProxyFactoryBean and HttpInvokerServiceExporter. HttpInvokerServiceExporter that exports the specified service bean as HTTP invoker service endpoint, accessible via an HTTP invoker proxy. HttpInvokerProxyFactoryBean is a factory bean for HTTP invoker proxies.

Hessian : Hessian offers a binary HTTP-based remoting protocol. Spring supports Hessian via HessianProxyFactoryBean and the HessianServiceExporter.

Burlap : Burlap is Caucho’s XML-based alternative to Hessian. Spring provides support classes such as BurlapProxyFactoryBean and BurlapServiceExporter.
