Re: [Springframework-developer] HTTP invoker remoting strategy

[Andy D. <an...@ma...>]

As you know, Oliver Hutchison has been working on something very similar to 
this. He has also talked about adding the ability to track data transfer (so 
that a GUI can display a progress bar while transmitting large amounts of 
data, for example).  I think it would be cool to see your efforts merge, as 
both components are addressing the same issues, and each brings its own 
benefits to the table (Oliver's auto-retrying, your 
HttpInvokerRequestExecutor, etc).
BTW, is there currently any support for out-of-band information?  I'm thinking 
that "header" information could automatically be transmitted with service 
calls allowing protocol level "aspects".  I've actually implemented an audit 
session id (based on Ben's recommendation), and would love to have that 
automatically propagated with each service call instead of modifying my 
service APIs.  I believe Oliver mentioned adding header info to his 
implementation, but I'm not sure.
