I am trying to use Hessian with Spring to access remote services. Spring 2.5 with Hessian 3.0.20.

I am getting the following exception

org.springframework.remoting.RemoteAccessException : Cannot access Hessian remote service at [https://localhost:9447/sample/remoti...ementService]; nested exception is com.caucho.hessian.client.HessianRuntimeException: java.io.FileNotFoundException: https://localhost:9447/sample/remoti...tlementService

at org.springframework.remoting.caucho.HessianClientI nterceptor.invoke(HessianClientInterceptor.java:22 5)


web.xml

<servlet>
<servlet-name>remoting</servlet-name>
<servlet-class>org.springframework.web.servlet.DispatcherSe rvlet</servlet-class>
<load-on-startup>20</load-on-startup>
</servlet>

<servlet-mapping>
<servlet-name>remoting</servlet-name>
<url-pattern>/remoting/*</url-pattern>
</servlet-mapping>

<property name="serviceInterface" value="com.sample.SampleService" />
</bean>

<bean id="sampleService" class="com.sample.SampleImpl">
</bean>

</beans>

Client Side Spring configuration file:

<bean id="sampleService"
class="org.springframework.remoting.caucho.Hessian ProxyFactoryBean">
<property name="serviceUrl" value="https://localhost:9447/sample/remoting/SampleService" />
<property name="serviceInterface" value="com.sample.SampleService" />
</bean>

Client access code:

ApplicationContext context = new ClassPathXmlApplicationContext("applicationContext .xml");
SampleService service = (SampleService)context.getBean("sampleService");
service.rejectAllProvisionalGrants("Hi");

Found plenty of suggestions in some of the other threads and tried them all. Still not able to figure. Any help would be great.
