Web services vs Spring remoting

Question

I quite didnt get the difference between a regular web service implemented either through spring or axis versus Remoting.

If my question is not at all related, I am just confused between spring web services vs spring remoting. When to go for remoting and when to go with a web service.

Appreciate your answer

Answer 1

Spring Web Services is a dedicated Spring Project (using Spring's own Web Service technology), whereas Spring Remoting is a common approach of integrating different third party remoting technologies.

Spring-WS is always contract-first, while Spring Remoting is often code-first.
