Is it possible to have a REST API as well as RMI based service, in the same java app

[arvindikchari]

Hi

I am very new to Spring-> I am extremely impressed with its ease of use, and I want to use it to create a REST API, as well as an RMI service.

What I want to know is, is it possible to deploy a single java web app that exposes the RMI service as well as the REST API? If this can be done, what (if any) considerations do I have to keep in mind to avoid conflicts/problems b/w the REST and the RMI services?

Thanks,
Arvind.

Why wouldn't you... RMI or REST is nothing more then a way to access your service through a different API. Basically what you need to do is create a service and use springs RMI Exporter to create a RMI exposes API for REST create a @Controller which delegates to the service.
