Class HttpComponentsHttpInvokerRequestExecutor

java.lang.Object

org.springframework.remoting.httpinvoker.AbstractHttpInvokerRequestExecutor

org.springframework.remoting.httpinvoker.HttpComponentsHttpInvokerRequestExecutor

All Implemented Interfaces:

Aware, BeanClassLoaderAware, HttpInvokerRequestExecutor

public class HttpComponentsHttpInvokerRequestExecutor
extends AbstractHttpInvokerRequestExecutor

HttpInvokerRequestExecutor implementation that uses Apache HttpComponents HttpClient to execute POST requests.

Allows to use a pre-configured HttpClient instance, potentially with authentication, HTTP connection pooling, etc. Also designed for easy subclassing, providing specific template methods.

As of Spring 4.1, this request executor requires Apache HttpComponents 4.3 or higher.

Since:

3.1

See Also:

DEFAULT_READ_TIMEOUT_MILLISECONDS, RequestConfig.getSocketTimeout()

doExecuteRequest

protected RemoteInvocationResult doExecuteRequest(HttpInvokerClientConfiguration config,
                                                  java.io.ByteArrayOutputStream baos)
                                           throws java.io.IOException,
                                                  java.lang.ClassNotFoundException

Execute the given request through the HttpClient.

This method implements the basic processing workflow: The actual work happens in this class's template methods.

Specified by:

doExecuteRequest in class AbstractHttpInvokerRequestExecutor

Parameters:

config - the HTTP invoker configuration that specifies the target service

baos - the ByteArrayOutputStream that contains the serialized RemoteInvocation object

Returns:

the RemoteInvocationResult object

Throws:

java.io.IOException - if thrown by I/O operations

java.lang.ClassNotFoundException - if thrown during deserialization

createHttpPost(org.springframework.remoting.httpinvoker.HttpInvokerClientConfiguration), setRequestBody(org.springframework.remoting.httpinvoker.HttpInvokerClientConfiguration, org.apache.http.client.methods.HttpPost, java.io.ByteArrayOutputStream), executeHttpPost(org.springframework.remoting.httpinvoker.HttpInvokerClientConfiguration, org.apache.http.client.HttpClient, org.apache.http.client.methods.HttpPost), validateResponse(org.springframework.remoting.httpinvoker.HttpInvokerClientConfiguration, org.apache.http.HttpResponse), getResponseBody(org.springframework.remoting.httpinvoker.HttpInvokerClientConfiguration, org.apache.http.HttpResponse)

createHttpPost

protected HttpPost createHttpPost(HttpInvokerClientConfiguration config)
                           throws java.io.IOException

Create a HttpPost for the given configuration.

The default implementation creates a standard HttpPost with "application/x-java-serialized-object" as "Content-Type" header.

Parameters:

config - the HTTP invoker configuration that specifies the target service

Returns:

the HttpPost instance

Throws:

java.io.IOException - if thrown by I/O methods

createRequestConfig

@Nullable
protected RequestConfig createRequestConfig(HttpInvokerClientConfiguration config)

Create a RequestConfig for the given configuration. Can return null to indicate that no custom request config should be set and the defaults of the HttpClient should be used.

The default implementation tries to merge the defaults of the client with the local customizations of the instance, if any.

Parameters:

config - the HTTP invoker configuration that specifies the target service

Returns:

the RequestConfig to use

setRequestBody

protected void setRequestBody(HttpInvokerClientConfiguration config,
                              HttpPost httpPost,
                              java.io.ByteArrayOutputStream baos)
                       throws java.io.IOException

Set the given serialized remote invocation as request body.

The default implementation simply sets the serialized invocation as the HttpPost's request body. This can be overridden, for example, to write a specific encoding and to potentially set appropriate HTTP request headers.

Parameters:

config - the HTTP invoker configuration that specifies the target service

httpPost - the HttpPost to set the request body on

baos - the ByteArrayOutputStream that contains the serialized RemoteInvocation object

Throws:

java.io.IOException - if thrown by I/O methods

executeHttpPost

protected org.apache.http.HttpResponse executeHttpPost(HttpInvokerClientConfiguration config,
                                                       HttpClient httpClient,
                                                       HttpPost httpPost)
                                                throws java.io.IOException

Execute the given HttpPost instance.

Parameters:

config - the HTTP invoker configuration that specifies the target service

httpClient - the HttpClient to execute on

httpPost - the HttpPost to execute

Returns:

the resulting HttpResponse

Throws:

java.io.IOException - if thrown by I/O methods

validateResponse

protected void validateResponse(HttpInvokerClientConfiguration config,
                                org.apache.http.HttpResponse response)
                         throws java.io.IOException

Validate the given response as contained in the HttpPost object, throwing an exception if it does not correspond to a successful HTTP response.

Default implementation rejects any HTTP status code beyond 2xx, to avoid parsing the response body and trying to deserialize from a corrupted stream.

Parameters:

config - the HTTP invoker configuration that specifies the target service

response - the resulting HttpResponse to validate

Throws:

java.io.IOException - if validation failed

getResponseBody

protected java.io.InputStream getResponseBody(HttpInvokerClientConfiguration config,
                                              org.apache.http.HttpResponse httpResponse)
                                       throws java.io.IOException

Extract the response body from the given executed remote invocation request.

The default implementation simply fetches the HttpPost's response body stream. If the response is recognized as GZIP response, the InputStream will get wrapped in a GZIPInputStream.

Parameters:

config - the HTTP invoker configuration that specifies the target service

httpResponse - the resulting HttpResponse to read the response body from

Returns:

an InputStream for the response body

Throws:

java.io.IOException - if thrown by I/O methods

See Also:

isGzipResponse(org.apache.http.HttpResponse), GZIPInputStream

isGzipResponse

protected boolean isGzipResponse(org.apache.http.HttpResponse httpResponse)

Determine whether the given response indicates a GZIP response.

The default implementation checks whether the HTTP "Content-Encoding" header contains "gzip" (in any casing).

Parameters:

httpResponse - the resulting HttpResponse to check

Returns:

whether the given response indicates a GZIP response
