Accessing Remote Beans

[Ajay]

Bean A would like to use Bean B remotely.(say RMI)

Bean B uses Bean C locally.

So we have remote dependeny of A on B
And Bean B locally on C.

Context file for A will have definitions of A and B
Context file for B will have definitons of C

How do i define the above beans in 2 separate context files assuming that Bean A wants to use RMI to access B

Can someone show how the above 2 context files look like?

This is largely based on the RMI example from the reference manual:

<bean id="objectA" class="example.classAImpl">
  <property name="objectB">
    <bean class="org.springframework.remoting.rmi.RmiProxyFactoryBean">
      <property name="serviceInterface" value="example.classB"/>
      <property name="serviceUrl" value="rmi://HOST:1199/ObjectBService"/>
    </bean>
  </property>
</bean>

<bean id="objectC" class="example.classCImpl"/>
<bean id="objectB" class="example.classBImpl">
  <property name="objectC" ref="objectC"/>
</bean>

<bean class="org.springframework.remoting.rmi.RmiServiceExporter">
	<!-- does not necessarily have to be the same name as the bean to be exported -->
	<property name="serviceName" value="ObjectBService"/>
	<property name="service" ref="objectB"/>
	<property name="serviceInterface" value="example.objectB"/>
	<!-- defaults to 1099 -->
	<property name="registryPort" value="1199"/>
</bean>
