All Implemented Interfaces:

    public class RmiServiceExporter

extends RmiBasedExporter
implements InitializingBean, DisposableBean

RMI exporter that exposes the specified service as RMI object with the specified name. Such services can be accessed via plain RMI or via `RmiProxyFactoryBean`. Also supports exposing any non-RMI service via RMI invokers, to be accessed via `RmiClientInterceptor` / `RmiProxyFactoryBean`'s automatic detection of such invokers.

With an RMI invoker, RMI communication works on the `RmiInvocationHandler` level, needing only one stub for any service. Service interfaces do not have to extend `java.rmi.Remote` or throw `java.rmi.RemoteException` on all methods, but in and out parameters have to be serializable.

The major advantage of RMI, compared to Hessian and Burlap, is serialization. Effectively, any serializable Java object can be transported without hassle. Hessian and Burlap have their own (de-)serialization mechanisms, but are HTTP-based and thus much easier to setup than RMI. Alternatively, consider Spring's HTTP invoker to combine Java serialization with HTTP-based transport.

Note: RMI makes a best-effort attempt to obtain the fully qualified host name. If one cannot be determined, it will fall back and use the IP address. Depending on your network configuration, in some cases it will resolve the IP to the loopback address. To ensure that RMI will use the host name bound to the correct network interface, you should pass the `java.rmi.server.hostname` property to the JVM that will export the registry and/or the service using the "-D" JVM argument. For example: `-Djava.rmi.server.hostname=myserver.com`

Constructor Detail

### RmiServiceExporter

    public RmiServiceExporter()

Method Detail

### setServiceName

    public void setServiceName(String serviceName)

  Set the name of the exported RMI service, i.e. `rmi://host:port/NAME`

### setServicePort

    public void setServicePort(int servicePort)

  Set the port that the exported RMI service will use.

  Default is 0 (anonymous port).

### setClientSocketFactory

    public void setClientSocketFactory(RMIClientSocketFactory clientSocketFactory)

  Set a custom RMI client socket factory to use for exporting the service.

  If the given object also implements `java.rmi.server.RMIServerSocketFactory`, it will automatically be registered as server socket factory too.

  See Also:
    `setServerSocketFactory(java.rmi.server.RMIServerSocketFactory)`, `RMIClientSocketFactory`, `RMIServerSocketFactory`, `UnicastRemoteObject.exportObject(Remote, int, RMIClientSocketFactory, RMIServerSocketFactory)`

### setServerSocketFactory

    public void setServerSocketFactory(RMIServerSocketFactory serverSocketFactory)

  Set a custom RMI server socket factory to use for exporting the service.

  Only needs to be specified when the client socket factory does not implement `java.rmi.server.RMIServerSocketFactory` already.

  See Also:
    `setClientSocketFactory(java.rmi.server.RMIClientSocketFactory)`, `RMIClientSocketFactory`, `RMIServerSocketFactory`, `UnicastRemoteObject.exportObject(Remote, int, RMIClientSocketFactory, RMIServerSocketFactory)`

### setRegistry

    public void setRegistry(Registry registry)

  Specify the RMI registry to register the exported service with. Typically used in combination with RmiRegistryFactoryBean.

  Alternatively, you can specify all registry properties locally. This exporter will then try to locate the specified registry, automatically creating a new local one if appropriate.

  Default is a local registry at the default port (1099), created on the fly if necessary.

  See Also:
    `RmiRegistryFactoryBean`, `setRegistryHost(java.lang.String)`, `setRegistryPort(int)`, `setRegistryClientSocketFactory(java.rmi.server.RMIClientSocketFactory)`, `setRegistryServerSocketFactory(java.rmi.server.RMIServerSocketFactory)`

### setRegistryHost

    public void setRegistryHost(String registryHost)

  Set the host of the registry for the exported RMI service, i.e. `rmi://HOST:port/name`

  Default is localhost.

### setRegistryPort

    public void setRegistryPort(int registryPort)

  Set the port of the registry for the exported RMI service, i.e. `rmi://host:PORT/name`

  Default is `Registry.REGISTRY_PORT` (1099).

  See Also:
    `Registry.REGISTRY_PORT`

### setRegistryClientSocketFactory

    public void setRegistryClientSocketFactory(RMIClientSocketFactory registryClientSocketFactory)

  Set a custom RMI client socket factory to use for the RMI registry.

  If the given object also implements `java.rmi.server.RMIServerSocketFactory`, it will automatically be registered as server socket factory too.

  See Also:
    `setRegistryServerSocketFactory(java.rmi.server.RMIServerSocketFactory)`, `RMIClientSocketFactory`, `RMIServerSocketFactory`, `LocateRegistry.getRegistry(String, int, RMIClientSocketFactory)`

### setRegistryServerSocketFactory

    public void setRegistryServerSocketFactory(RMIServerSocketFactory registryServerSocketFactory)

  Set a custom RMI server socket factory to use for the RMI registry.

  Only needs to be specified when the client socket factory does not implement `java.rmi.server.RMIServerSocketFactory` already.

  See Also:
    `setRegistryClientSocketFactory(java.rmi.server.RMIClientSocketFactory)`, `RMIClientSocketFactory`, `RMIServerSocketFactory`, `LocateRegistry.createRegistry(int, RMIClientSocketFactory, RMIServerSocketFactory)`

### setAlwaysCreateRegistry

    public void setAlwaysCreateRegistry(boolean alwaysCreateRegistry)

  Set whether to always create the registry in-process, not attempting to locate an existing registry at the specified port.

  Default is "false". Switch this flag to "true" in order to avoid the overhead of locating an existing registry when you always intend to create a new registry in any case.

### setReplaceExistingBinding

    public void setReplaceExistingBinding(boolean replaceExistingBinding)

  Set whether to replace an existing binding in the RMI registry, that is, whether to simply override an existing binding with the specified service in case of a naming conflict in the registry.

  Default is "true", assuming that an existing binding for this exporter's service name is an accidental leftover from a previous execution. Switch this to "false" to make the exporter fail in such a scenario, indicating that there was already an RMI object bound.

### afterPropertiesSet

    public void afterPropertiesSet()
                            throws RemoteException

  Description copied from interface: `InitializingBean`
  Invoked by a BeanFactory after it has set all bean properties supplied (and satisfied BeanFactoryAware and ApplicationContextAware).

  This method allows the bean instance to perform initialization only possible when all bean properties have been set and to throw an exception in the event of misconfiguration.

  Specified by:
    `afterPropertiesSet` in interface `InitializingBean`
  Throws:
    `RemoteException`

### prepare

    public void prepare()
                 throws RemoteException

  Initialize this service exporter, registering the service as RMI object.

  Creates an RMI registry on the specified port if none exists.

  Throws:
    `RemoteException` - if service registration failed

### getRegistry

    protected Registry getRegistry(String registryHost,
                                   int registryPort,
