Servlet-API-based HTTP request handler that exports the specified service bean as HTTP invoker service endpoint, accessible via an HTTP invoker proxy.

Deserializes remote invocation objects and serializes remote invocation result objects. Uses Java serialization just like RMI, but provides the same ease of setup as Caucho's HTTP-based Hessian protocol.

HTTP invoker is the recommended protocol for Java-to-Java remoting. It is more powerful and more extensible than Hessian, at the expense of being tied to Java. Nevertheless, it is as easy to set up as Hessian, which is its main advantage compared to RMI.

WARNING: Be aware of vulnerabilities due to unsafe Java deserialization: Manipulated input streams could lead to unwanted code execution on the server during the deserialization step. As a consequence, do not expose HTTP invoker endpoints to untrusted clients but rather just between your own services. In general, we strongly recommend any other message format (e.g. JSON) instead.

Read a RemoteInvocation from the given HTTP request.

Delegates to readRemoteInvocation(HttpServletRequest, InputStream) with the servlet request's input stream.

Params:
  • request – current HTTP request
Throws:
Returns:the RemoteInvocation object
/** * Read a RemoteInvocation from the given HTTP request. * <p>Delegates to {@link #readRemoteInvocation(HttpServletRequest, InputStream)} with * the {@link HttpServletRequest#getInputStream() servlet request's input stream}. * @param request current HTTP request * @return the RemoteInvocation object * @throws IOException in case of I/O failure * @throws ClassNotFoundException if thrown by deserialization */
protected RemoteInvocation readRemoteInvocation(HttpServletRequest request) throws IOException, ClassNotFoundException { return readRemoteInvocation(request, request.getInputStream()); }
Deserialize a RemoteInvocation object from the given InputStream.

Gives decorateInputStream a chance to decorate the stream first (for example, for custom encryption or compression). Creates a CodebaseAwareObjectInputStream and calls RemoteInvocationSerializingExporter.doReadRemoteInvocation to actually read the object.

Can be overridden for custom serialization of the invocation.

Params:
  • request – current HTTP request
  • is – the InputStream to read from
Throws:
Returns:the RemoteInvocation object

Return the InputStream to use for reading remote invocations, potentially decorating the given original InputStream.

The default implementation returns the given stream as-is. Can be overridden, for example, for custom encryption or compression.

Params:
  • request – current HTTP request
  • is – the original InputStream
Throws:
Returns:the potentially decorated InputStream
/** * Return the InputStream to use for reading remote invocations, * potentially decorating the given original InputStream. * <p>The default implementation returns the given stream as-is. * Can be overridden, for example, for custom encryption or compression. * @param request current HTTP request * @param is the original InputStream * @return the potentially decorated InputStream * @throws IOException in case of I/O failure */

Write the given RemoteInvocationResult to the given HTTP response.
Params:
  • request – current HTTP request
  • response – current HTTP response
  • result – the RemoteInvocationResult object
Throws:
/** * Write the given RemoteInvocationResult to the given HTTP response. * @param request current HTTP request * @param response current HTTP response * @param result the RemoteInvocationResult object * @throws IOException in case of I/O failure */
protected void writeRemoteInvocationResult( HttpServletRequest request, HttpServletResponse response, RemoteInvocationResult result) throws IOException { response.setContentType(getContentType()); writeRemoteInvocationResult(request, response, result, response.getOutputStream()); }
Serialize the given RemoteInvocation to the given OutputStream.

The default implementation gives decorateOutputStream a chance to decorate the stream first (for example, for custom encryption or compression). Creates an ObjectOutputStream for the final stream and calls RemoteInvocationSerializingExporter.doWriteRemoteInvocationResult to actually write the object.

Can be overridden for custom serialization of the invocation.

Params:
  • request – current HTTP request
  • response – current HTTP response
  • result – the RemoteInvocationResult object
  • os – the OutputStream to write to
Throws:

protected OutputStream decorateOutputStream( HttpServletRequest request, HttpServletResponse response, OutputStream os) throws IOException { return os; }
Decorate an OutputStream to guard against flush() calls, which are turned into no-ops.

Because ObjectOutputStream.close() will in fact flush/drain the underlying stream twice, this FilterOutputStream will guard against individual flush calls. Multiple flush calls can lead to performance issues, since writes aren't gathered as they should be.
