Spring RCP - HTTP client

[nitingupta183]

Hi all,

Is any support provided for the HTTP client in Spring RCP? I am working on an SWT application based on Spring framewrok. I need to add a HTTP client in that. I was just wondering if I can get help from the RCP framework.

Any help will be much appreciated.

Cheers,
Nitin

Do you mean a webbrowser? If so, you could try to integrate JDIC (or JDICPlus) in your application.

But last time I checked, RCP is Swing based, not SWT, so I don't know whether you'll be able to use it. Someone correct me if I'm wrong.

I knew it is meant for Swing applications. On its site, I read that the design principle has been 'view agnostic'. As a result I thought that may be the core components, such as a HTTP client implementation may be used by an SWT app.

I dont need a web browser. My desktop application needs to talk to a server app. For this reason, I need to add HTTP client in my desktop app. Of course I can use apache's HTTP client library. But was just wondering if Spring has provided any support for it in its framework.

Nitin,

sounds like you might want to look at Spring's remoting support. For example, they have a HttpInvoker that imppments RPC over Http. Integrates nicely with Spring RCP.
