Trying simple remoting from the example

[kannan.ekanath]

Hi All,
I am trying the following example, Remoting With Spring to add remoting support to my working application.

I added the following lines to my appcontext.xml

<bean name="/RuleRemote" class="org.springframework.remoting.httpinvoker.HttpInvokerServiceExporter">
    	<property name="service" ref="myRepository"/>
    	<property name="serviceInterface" value="com.MyRepository"/>
    </bean>
    
    <bean id="myRepository" parent="txProxy">
    	<property name="target">
    		<bean class="com.MyRepositoryImpl"/>
    	</property>
    </bean>

Seems fairly straight forward, but in my client i am trying the following bunch of code,

HttpInvokerProxyFactoryBean proxy = new HttpInvokerProxyFactoryBean();
proxy.setServiceUrl(
"http://localhost:8080/myApp/RuleRemote");
proxy.setServiceInterface(RuleRepository.class);
try {
     proxy.afterPropertiesSet();
} catch (MalformedURLException e) {
     // TODO Auto-generated catch block
     e.printStackTrace();
}
MyRepository repository = (MyRepository) proxy.getObject();
MyRepository.save(rule);

However, executing it throws an error, saying Status code 404 was thrown. I guess this must be some basic error. Can someone help me out?

org.springframework.remoting.RemoteAccessException : Cannot access HTTP invoker remote service at [http://localhost:8080/claimprocess/RuleRemote]; nested exception is java.io.IOException: Did not receive successful HTTP response: status code = 404, status message = [/claimprocess/RuleRemote]
java.io.IOException: Did not receive successful HTTP response: status code = 404, status message = [/claimprocess/RuleRemote]

Reading the initial chapters, do i need to declare some ViewResolver or the like? Am not using Springs "View" part in my application
