All Implemented Interfaces:
  Advice, Interceptor, MethodInterceptor, BeanClassLoaderAware, InitializingBean

Direct Known Subclasses:
  HessianProxyFactoryBean

    public class HessianClientInterceptor

extends UrlBasedRemoteAccessor
implements MethodInterceptor

`MethodInterceptor` for accessing a Hessian service. Supports authentication via username and password. The service URL must be an HTTP URL exposing a Hessian service.

Hessian is a slim, binary RPC protocol. For information on Hessian, see the Hessian website

Note: There is no requirement for services accessed with this proxy factory to have been exported using Spring's `HessianServiceExporter`, as there is no special handling involved. As a consequence, you can also access services that have been exported using Caucho's `HessianServlet`.

Constructor Detail

### HessianClientInterceptor

    public HessianClientInterceptor()

Method Detail

### setProxyFactory

    public void setProxyFactory(com.caucho.hessian.client.HessianProxyFactory proxyFactory)

  Set the HessianProxyFactory instance to use. If not specified, a default HessianProxyFactory will be created.

  Allows to use an externally configured factory instance, in particular a custom HessianProxyFactory subclass.

### setSerializerFactory

    public void setSerializerFactory(com.caucho.hessian.io.SerializerFactory serializerFactory)

  Specify the Hessian SerializerFactory to use.

  This will typically be passed in as an inner bean definition of type `com.caucho.hessian.io.SerializerFactory`, with custom bean property values applied.

### setSendCollectionType

    public void setSendCollectionType(boolean sendCollectionType)

  Set whether to send the Java collection type for each serialized collection. Default is "true".

### setOverloadEnabled

    public void setOverloadEnabled(boolean overloadEnabled)

  Set whether overloaded methods should be enabled for remote invocations. Default is "false".

  See Also:
    `HessianProxyFactory.setOverloadEnabled(boolean)`

### setUsername

    public void setUsername(String username)

  Set the username that this factory should use to access the remote service. Default is none.

  The username will be sent by Hessian via HTTP Basic Authentication.

  See Also:
    `HessianProxyFactory.setUser(java.lang.String)`

### setPassword

    public void setPassword(String password)

  Set the password that this factory should use to access the remote service. Default is none.

  The password will be sent by Hessian via HTTP Basic Authentication.

  See Also:
    `HessianProxyFactory.setPassword(java.lang.String)`

### setDebug

    public void setDebug(boolean debug)

  Set whether Hessian's debug mode should be enabled. Default is "false".

  See Also:
    `HessianProxyFactory.setDebug(boolean)`

### setChunkedPost

    public void setChunkedPost(boolean chunkedPost)

  Set whether to use a chunked post for sending a Hessian request.

  See Also:
    `HessianProxyFactory.setChunkedPost(boolean)`

### setReadTimeout

    public void setReadTimeout(long timeout)

  Set the timeout to use when waiting for a reply from the Hessian service.

  See Also:
    `HessianProxyFactory.setReadTimeout(long)`

### setHessian2

    public void setHessian2(boolean hessian2)

  Set whether version 2 of the Hessian protocol should be used for parsing requests and replies. Default is "false".

  See Also:
    `HessianProxyFactory.setHessian2Request(boolean)`

### setHessian2Request

    public void setHessian2Request(boolean hessian2)

  Set whether version 2 of the Hessian protocol should be used for parsing requests. Default is "false".

  See Also:
    `HessianProxyFactory.setHessian2Request(boolean)`

### setHessian2Reply

    public void setHessian2Reply(boolean hessian2)

  Set whether version 2 of the Hessian protocol should be used for parsing replies. Default is "false".

  See Also:
    `HessianProxyFactory.setHessian2Reply(boolean)`

### afterPropertiesSet

    public void afterPropertiesSet()

  Description copied from interface: `InitializingBean`

  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`
  Overrides:
    `afterPropertiesSet` in class `UrlBasedRemoteAccessor`
