"rmi over soap"

[ndeloof]

Hello,

I've a requirement to acces my business tier using soap/http. My business service methods don't have to be exposed to other apps : this is only a security constraint (firewall).

How can I customize spring HttpInvoker to "decorate" the serialized invocation in an soap-compliant message like :

<SOAP:Envelope
xmlns:SOAP="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/"
SOAP:encodingStyle="application/x-java-serialized-object">
  <SOAP:Body>
    <m:RemoteInvocation xmlns:m="http://myapp/"> 
      [[ Serailized object ]]
    </m:RemoteInvocation>
  </SOAP:Body>
</SOAP:Envelope>

Can`t you use Burlap or Hessian, or the Spring HTTPInvoker?

The only acceptable protocol are Tuxedo and SOAP...

You can use SOAP-RPC to expose your services using the SOAP protocol.

That is what we are going to do... but it requires lot's of changes : the busines methods uses Enums and interfaces that axis Java2Wsdl doesn't handle correctly, so I've got to manually maintain the WSDL.
I was searching for something more "auto-magic".

Thanks anyway.

Maybe you can have a look at XFire
