Package org.springframework.remoting.httpinvoker Description

Remoting classes for transparent Java-to-Java remoting via HTTP invokers. 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. Neverthelesss, it is as easy to set up as Hessian and Burlap, which is its main advantage compared to RMI.
