My advice would be to avoid the RemotingService (though I honestly haven't
used it). If you've done a good job of wrapping your business logic up into
components and services and configured them via ColdSpring then it's fairly
trivial to expose those remotely using ColdSpring.
So, for all of my applications I tend to have a service layer which provides
functions that run atomic actions within my application. For example,
addUser(), deleteUser(), listWidgets(), etc. These might be spread across
several services, depending on the application, but these would be
configured in ColdSpring. I simply use the remoting features of ColdSpring
to expose some of those functions remotely. Here's some example
configuration from a real application (not the widget :
<!--// Remote Service Configuration //-->
<bean id="ColdBooksAbstractRemoteProxy" class="" abstract="true">
<property name="beanFactoryScope">
<value>application</value>
</property>
<property name="beanFactoryName">
<value>cs</value>
</property>
<property name="relativePath">
<value>/CFIDE/administrator/ColdBooks/remote</value>
</property>
</bean>
<bean id="ColdBooksRemoteQBWC"
class="coldspring.aop.framework.RemoteFactoryBean"
parent="ColdBooksAbstractRemoteProxy" lazy-init="false">
<property name="target">
<ref bean="ColdBooksQBWC" />
</property>
<property name="serviceName">
<value>qbwc</value>
</property>
<property name="remoteMethodNames">
<value>serverVersion,clientVersion,authenticate,closeConnection,sendRequestXML,receiveResponseXML,getLastError</value>
</property>
</bean>
<bean id="ColdBooksQBWC" class="model.service.qbwc">
<property name="version">
<value>0.1-Alpha</value>
</property>
</bean>
In the example above the ColdBooksQBWC is my service.
Thanks and good luck,
