SPRING COOKBOOK

Querying an existing Java RMI service

In this recipe, we will configure a Spring web application, so that it will be able to execute a method on an existing RMI service.

public interface UserService {
  public abstract List<User> findAll();
  public abstract void addUser(User user);
}

User objects will be exchanged over the network, so we need the User class of the previous recipe as well:

public class User implements Serializable { private String name; private int age; public User(String name, int age) { this.name = name; this.age = age; } // ... getters ...
