Sure, look at the mina.apache.org
# Unified API for various transport types:
* TCP/IP & UDP/IP via Java NIO
* Serial communication (RS232) via RXTX
* In-VM pipe communication
* You can implement your own!
If you restrict yourself to just using HTTP, your transport if locked.
Mina is vastly more flexible, and for lots of stuff, you need it.
For example, if you really want a UDP type service, don't even think
about pushing that over HTTP, as HTTP is total overkill. Same if you
want to use serial.
