public class HttpInvokerServiceExporter
extends RemoteInvocationSerializingExporter
implements HttpRequestHandler

Servlet-API-based HTTP request handler that exports the specified service bean as HTTP invoker service endpoint, accessible via an HTTP invoker proxy.

Note: Spring also provides an alternative version of this exporter, for Sun's JRE 1.6 HTTP server: SimpleHttpInvokerServiceExporter.

Deserializes remote invocation objects and serializes remote invocation result objects. Uses Java serialization just like RMI, but provides the same ease of setup as Caucho's HTTP-based Hessian and Burlap protocols.

HTTP invoker is the recommended protocol for Java-to-Java remoting. It is more powerful and more extensible than Hessian and Burlap, at the expense of being tied to Java. Nevertheless, it is as easy to set up as Hessian and Burlap, which is its main advantage compared to RMI.

public HttpInvokerServiceExporter()
Method Detail

handleRequest

public void handleRequest(HttpServletRequest request,
                          HttpServletResponse response)
                   throws ServletException,
                          IOException
Reads a remote invocation from the request, executes it, and writes the remote invocation result to the response.

Specified by:
handleRequest in interface HttpRequestHandler
Parameters:
request - current HTTP request
response - current HTTP response
Throws:
ServletException - in case of general errors
IOException - in case of I/O errors
See Also:
readRemoteInvocation(HttpServletRequest), RemoteInvocationBasedExporter.invokeAndCreateResult(org.springframework.remoting.support.RemoteInvocation, Object), writeRemoteInvocationResult(HttpServletRequest, HttpServletResponse, RemoteInvocationResult)

readRemoteInvocation

protected RemoteInvocation readRemoteInvocation(HttpServletRequest request)
                                         throws IOException,
                                                ClassNotFoundException
Read a RemoteInvocation from the given HTTP request.

Delegates to readRemoteInvocation(javax.servlet.http.HttpServletRequest, java.io.InputStream) with the servlet request's input stream.

Parameters:
request - current HTTP request
Returns:
the RemoteInvocation object
Throws:
IOException - in case of I/O failure
ClassNotFoundException - if thrown by deserialization

readRemoteInvocation

protected RemoteInvocation readRemoteInvocation(HttpServletRequest request,
                                                InputStream is)
                                         throws IOException,
                                                ClassNotFoundException
Deserialize a RemoteInvocation object from the given InputStream.

Gives decorateInputStream(javax.servlet.http.HttpServletRequest, java.io.InputStream) a chance to decorate the stream first (for example, for custom encryption or compression). Creates a CodebaseAwareObjectInputStream and calls RemoteInvocationSerializingExporter.doReadRemoteInvocation(java.io.ObjectInputStream) to actually read the object.

Can be overridden for custom serialization of the invocation.

Parameters:
request - current HTTP request
is - the InputStream to read from
Returns:
the RemoteInvocation object
Throws:
IOException - in case of I/O failure
ClassNotFoundException - if thrown during deserialization

decorateInputStream

protected InputStream decorateInputStream(HttpServletRequest request,
                                          InputStream is)
                                   throws IOException
Return the InputStream to use for reading remote invocations, potentially decorating the given original InputStream.

The default implementation returns the given stream as-is. Can be overridden, for example, for custom encryption or compression.

Parameters:
request - current HTTP request
is - the original InputStream
Returns:
the potentially decorated InputStream
Throws:
IOException - in case of I/O failure

writeRemoteInvocationResult

protected void writeRemoteInvocationResult(HttpServletRequest request,
                                           HttpServletResponse response,
                                           RemoteInvocationResult result)
                                    throws IOException
Write the given RemoteInvocationResult to the given HTTP response.

Parameters:
request - current HTTP request
response - current HTTP response
result - the RemoteInvocationResult object
Throws:
IOException - in case of I/O failure

writeRemoteInvocationResult

protected void writeRemoteInvocationResult(HttpServletRequest request,
                                           HttpServletResponse response,
                                           RemoteInvocationResult result,
                                           OutputStream os)
                                    throws IOException
Serialize the given RemoteInvocation to the given OutputStream.

The default implementation gives decorateOutputStream(javax.servlet.http.HttpServletRequest, javax.servlet.http.HttpServletResponse, java.io.OutputStream) a chance to decorate the stream first (for example, for custom encryption or compression). Creates an ObjectOutputStream for the final stream and calls RemoteInvocationSerializingExporter.doWriteRemoteInvocationResult(org.springframework.remoting.support.RemoteInvocationResult, java.io.ObjectOutputStream) to actually write the object.

Can be overridden for custom serialization of the invocation.

Parameters:
request - current HTTP request
response - current HTTP response
result - the RemoteInvocationResult object
os - the OutputStream to write to
Throws:
IOException - in case of I/O failure
See Also:
decorateOutputStream(javax.servlet.http.HttpServletRequest, javax.servlet.http.HttpServletResponse, java.io.OutputStream), RemoteInvocationSerializingExporter.doWriteRemoteInvocationResult(org.springframework.remoting.support.RemoteInvocationResult, java.io.ObjectOutputStream)

decorateOutputStream

protected OutputStream decorateOutputStream(HttpServletRequest request,
                                            HttpServletResponse response,
                                            OutputStream os)
                                     throws IOException
Return the OutputStream to use for writing remote invocation results, potentially decorating the given original OutputStream.

The default implementation returns the given stream as-is. Can be overridden, for example, for custom encryption or compression.

Parameters:
request - current HTTP request
response - current HTTP response
os - the original OutputStream
Returns:
the potentially decorated OutputStream
Throws:
IOException - in case of I/O failure
