Sorry i'm new to spring and have a question about the httpinvokerserviceexporter. I had a rudimentary setup by following the tutorials:
<bean id="urlMapping" class="org.springframework.web.servlet.handler.SimpleUrlHandlerMapping">
<property name="mappings">
<props>
<prop key="index.htm">indexController</prop>
<prop key="hello.htm">test_service</prop>
</props>
</property>
</bean>
<bean name="test_service" class="org.springframework.remoting.httpinvoker.HttpInvokerServiceExporter">
<property name="serviceInterface" value="hellohttp.HelloServiceInterface" />
<property name="service">
<ref bean="helloService"></ref>
</property>
</bean>
And just to test if I works: I run the url http://localhost:8080/hello_spring/hello.htm and got the following stacktrack from the glassfish server:
WARNING: StandardWrapperValve[hello_spring]: PWC1406: Servlet.service() for servlet hello_spring threw exception

Well, is this error caused by me using a browser instead of a spring enabled and java application?
HttpInvokerServiceExporter uses standard Java binary serialization to move the data from Java objects over the wire. This data can only be used by a Java client at the other end (and in this case, by a Spring Java client). It's intended to be the server-end of a client-server setup.
You can't just point a browser at it, the browser will just see it as gibberish.
