public class HttpInvokerClientInterceptor
extends RemoteInvocationBasedAccessor
implements MethodInterceptor, HttpInvokerClientConfiguration

MethodInterceptor for accessing an HTTP invoker service. The service URL must be an HTTP URL exposing an HTTP invoker service.

Serializes remote invocation objects and deserializes 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 a very extensible and customizable protocol. It supports the RemoteInvocationFactory mechanism, like RMI invoker, allowing to include additional invocation attributes (for example, a security context). Furthermore, it allows to customize request execution via the HttpInvokerRequestExecutor strategy.

Can use the JDK's RMIClassLoader to load classes from a given codebase, performing on-demand dynamic code download from a remote location. The codebase can consist of multiple URLs, separated by spaces. Note that RMIClassLoader requires a SecurityManager to be set, analogous to when using dynamic class download with standard RMI! (See the RMI documentation for details.)

WARNING: Be aware of vulnerabilities due to unsafe Java deserialization: Manipulated input streams could lead to unwanted code execution on the server during the deserialization step. As a consequence, do not expose HTTP invoker endpoints to untrusted clients but rather just between your own services. In general, we strongly recommend any other message format (e.g. JSON) instead.

Method Detail

setCodebaseUrl

public void setCodebaseUrl(String codebaseUrl)

Set the codebase URL to download classes from if not found locally. Can consists of multiple URLs, separated by spaces.

Follows RMI's codebase conventions for dynamic class download. In contrast to RMI, where the server determines the URL for class download (via the "java.rmi.server.codebase" system property), it's the client that determines the codebase URL here. The server will usually be the same as for the service URL, just pointing to a different path there.

getCodebaseUrl

public String getCodebaseUrl()

Return the codebase URL to download classes from if not found locally.

Specified by:

getCodebaseUrl in interface HttpInvokerClientConfiguration

Returns:

the codebase URL, or null if none

See Also:

RMIClassLoader

setHttpInvokerRequestExecutor

public void setHttpInvokerRequestExecutor(HttpInvokerRequestExecutor httpInvokerRequestExecutor)

Set the HttpInvokerRequestExecutor implementation to use for executing remote invocations.

Default is SimpleHttpInvokerRequestExecutor. Alternatively, consider using HttpComponentsHttpInvokerRequestExecutor for more sophisticated needs.

See Also:

SimpleHttpInvokerRequestExecutor, HttpComponentsHttpInvokerRequestExecutor

getHttpInvokerRequestExecutor

public HttpInvokerRequestExecutor getHttpInvokerRequestExecutor()

Return the HttpInvokerRequestExecutor used by this remote accessor.

Creates a default SimpleHttpInvokerRequestExecutor if no executor has been initialized already.

afterPropertiesSet

public void afterPropertiesSet()

Description copied from interface: InitializingBean

Invoked by the containing BeanFactory after it has set all bean properties and satisfied BeanFactoryAware, ApplicationContextAware etc.

This method allows the bean instance to perform validation of its overall configuration and final initialization when all bean properties have been set.

Specified by:

afterPropertiesSet in interface InitializingBean

Overrides:

afterPropertiesSet in class UrlBasedRemoteAccessor

invoke

public Object invoke(MethodInvocation methodInvocation)
              throws Throwable

Description copied from interface: MethodInterceptor

Implement this method to perform extra treatments before and after the invocation. Polite implementations would certainly like to invoke Joinpoint.proceed().

Specified by:

invoke in interface MethodInterceptor

Parameters:

methodInvocation - the method invocation joinpoint

Returns:

the result of the call to Joinpoint.proceed(); might be intercepted by the interceptor

Throws:

Throwable - if the interceptors or the target object throws an exception

executeRequest

protected RemoteInvocationResult executeRequest(RemoteInvocation invocation,
                                                MethodInvocation originalInvocation)
                                         throws Exception

Execute the given remote invocation via the HttpInvokerRequestExecutor.

This implementation delegates to executeRequest(RemoteInvocation). Can be overridden to react to the specific original MethodInvocation.

Parameters:

invocation - the RemoteInvocation to execute

originalInvocation - the original MethodInvocation (can e.g. be cast to the ProxyMethodInvocation interface for accessing user attributes)

Returns:

the RemoteInvocationResult object

Throws:

Exception - in case of errors

executeRequest

protected RemoteInvocationResult executeRequest(RemoteInvocation invocation)
                                         throws Exception

Execute the given remote invocation via the HttpInvokerRequestExecutor.

Can be overridden in subclasses to pass a different configuration object to the executor. Alternatively, add further configuration properties in a subclass of this accessor: By default, the accessor passed itself as configuration object to the executor.

Parameters:

invocation - the RemoteInvocation to execute

Returns:

the RemoteInvocationResult object

Throws:

IOException - if thrown by I/O operations

ClassNotFoundException - if thrown during deserialization

Exception - in case of general errors

getHttpInvokerRequestExecutor(), HttpInvokerClientConfiguration

convertHttpInvokerAccessException

protected RemoteAccessException convertHttpInvokerAccessException(Throwable ex)

Convert the given HTTP invoker access exception to an appropriate Spring RemoteAccessException.

Parameters:

ex - the exception to convert

Returns:

the RemoteAccessException to throw, or null to have the original exception propagated to the caller
