Call service with RMI (service uses Spring Remoting)

[Michael Mattox <mi...@gmail.com>]

I read that it's possible to call EJBs with RMI, at least someone
mentioned it and included a reference to this page:

http://incubator.apache.org/servicemix/servicemix-jsr181.html#servicemix-jsr181-EJBs

I'd like to know if we can expose these RMI services as web services.

client -> web service -> ServiceMix -> RMI -> service

Also, is it possible to expose these services as RMI ?

client -> RMI -> ServiceMix -> RMI -> service


Unfortunately we have to use RMI because Flex doesn't play nice with
web services. ;)

There is the SerializedMarshaler () for the servicemix-http component
that allows for the use of the Spring HTTP remoting. This would allow
RMI over HTTP via Spring. But it would mean that the client and the
service would both need to speak HTTP instead of direct RMI. But I'm
sure that we could also create a RMI binding component to speak RMI
directly by wrapping up the Spring RMI objects.
