Direct Known Subclasses:

UrlBasedRemoteAccessor

public abstract class RemoteAccessor
extends RemotingSupport

Abstract base class for classes that access a remote service. Provides a "serviceInterface" bean property.

Note that the service interface being used will show some signs of remotability, like the granularity of method calls that it offers. Furthermore, it has to have serializable arguments etc.

Accessors are supposed to throw Spring's generic RemoteAccessException in case of remote invocation failure, provided that the service interface does not declare java.rmi.RemoteException.

Method Detail

setServiceInterface

public void setServiceInterface(java.lang.Class<?> serviceInterface)
