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.)

Constructor Detail

HttpInvokerClientInterceptor

public HttpInvokerClientInterceptor()
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.

UrlBasedRemoteAccessor.setServiceUrl(java.lang.String), CodebaseAwareObjectInputStream, RMIClassLoader

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 CommonsHttpInvokerRequestExecutor for more sophisticated needs.

See Also:
SimpleHttpInvokerRequestExecutor, CommonsHttpInvokerRequestExecutor

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 a BeanFactory after it has set all bean properties supplied (and satisfied BeanFactoryAware and ApplicationContextAware).

This method allows the bean instance to perform initialization only possible when all bean properties have been set and to throw an exception in the event of misconfiguration.

Specified by:
afterPropertiesSet in interface InitializingBean
Overrides:
afterPropertiesSet in class UrlBasedRemoteAccessor

invoke

public Object invoke(MethodInvocation methodInvocation)
              throws Throwable
Specified by:
invoke in interface MethodInterceptor
Throws:
Throwable

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
