All Implemented Interfaces:

DisposableBean, InitializingBean

public class RmiServiceExporter

extends RemoteInvocationBasedExporter

implements InitializingBean, DisposableBean

RMI exporter that exposes the specified service as RMI object with the specified name. Such services can be accessed via plain RMI or via RmiProxyFactoryBean. Also supports exposing any non-RMI service via RMI invokers, to be accessed via RmiClientInterceptor/RmiProxyFactoryBean's automatic detection of such invokers.

With an RMI invoker, RMI communication works on the RmiInvocationHandler level, needing only one stub for any service. Service interfaces do not have to extend java.rmi.Remote or throw RemoteException on all methods, but in and out parameters have to be serializable.

The major advantage of RMI, compared to Hessian and Burlap, is serialization. Effectively, any serializable Java object can be transported without hassle. Hessian and Burlap have their own (de-)serialization mechanisms, but are HTTP-based and thus much easier to setup than RMI. Alternatively, use Spring's HTTP invoker to combine Java serialization with HTTP-based transport.

Note: RMI makes a best-effort attempt to obtain the fully qualified host name. If one cannot be determined, it will fall back and use the IP address. Depending on your network configuration, in some cases it will resolve the IP to the loopback address. Ensuring that RMI will use the host name bound to the correct network interface you should pass the java.rmi.server.hostname property to the JVM that will export the registry and/or the service using the "-D" JVM argument. For example: -Djava.rmi.server.hostname=myserver.com

Constructor Detail

RmiServiceExporter

public RmiServiceExporter()

Method Detail

setServiceName

public void setServiceName(String serviceName)

Set the name of the exported RMI service, i.e. rmi://localhost:port/NAME

setServicePort

public void setServicePort(int servicePort)

Set the port that the exported RMI service will use. Default is 0 (anonymous port).

setRegistryPort

public void setRegistryPort(int registryPort)

Set the port of the registry for the exported RMI service, i.e. rmi://localhost:PORT/name Default is Registry.REGISTRY_PORT (1099).

setClientSocketFactory

public void setClientSocketFactory(RMIClientSocketFactory clientSocketFactory)

Set a custom RMI client socket factory to use for exporting. If the given object also implement RMIServerSocketFactory, it will automatically be registered as server socket factory too.

setServerSocketFactory(java.rmi.server.RMIServerSocketFactory), UnicastRemoteObject.exportObject(Remote, int, RMIClientSocketFactory, RMIServerSocketFactory)

setServerSocketFactory

public void setServerSocketFactory(RMIServerSocketFactory serverSocketFactory)

Set a custom RMI server socket factory to use for exporting.

See Also:

setClientSocketFactory(java.rmi.server.RMIClientSocketFactory)

afterPropertiesSet

public void afterPropertiesSet()
                        throws RemoteException

Register the service as RMI object. Creates an RMI registry on the specified port if none exists.

Specified by:

afterPropertiesSet in interface InitializingBean

Throws:

RemoteException

getRegistry

protected Registry getRegistry(int registryPort)
                        throws RemoteException

Locate or create the RMI registry for this exporter.

Parameters:

registryPort - the registry port to use

Returns:

the RMI registry

Throws:

RemoteException - if the registry couldn't be located or created

getObjectToExport

protected Remote getObjectToExport()

Determine the object to export: either the service object itself or a RmiInvocationWrapper in case of a non-RMI service object.

Returns:

the RMI object to export

invoke

protected Object invoke(RemoteInvocation invocation,
                        Object targetObject)
                 throws NoSuchMethodException,
                        IllegalAccessException,
                        InvocationTargetException

Redefined here to be visible to RmiInvocationWrapper. Simply delegates to the corresponding superclass method.

Overrides:

invoke in class RemoteInvocationBasedExporter

Parameters:

invocation - the remote invocation

targetObject - the target object to apply the invocation to

Returns:

the invocation result

Throws:

NoSuchMethodException - if the method name could not be resolved

InvocationTargetException - if the method invocation resulted in an exception

IllegalAccessException - if the method could not be accessed

destroy

public void destroy()
             throws RemoteException,
                    NotBoundException

Unbind the RMI service from the registry at bean factory shutdown.

Specified by:

destroy in interface DisposableBean

Throws:

RemoteException

NotBoundException
