What you need (it sounds like) is the Spring Remoting client and whatever
other Spring bits it uses to compile  run successfully on the Android
platform. It should work, in that I don't think there's anything in there
that they need that isn't provided on Android, but

 Yeah, terminology problems can be fun.  (NOT!)
 
 We have Tomcat running on a server machine at the office.
 It has a .war file generated that uses the Spring Framework.
 One of the API's this app provides is something like:
public List getCurrentData( DataSpecifier params);
 
 In our Java Desktop app, I just ask the Spring framework for the service
 object, and then I can do:
List data = service.getCurrentData( whatdatatoget); That makes the call
to
 the server, and marshals the resulting data back into the appropriate
objects
 in my application.
 
 I'm trying to figure out how to do the equivalent from the Android app
 - since it is NOT running the Spring framework.

That makes more sense. What is the class of the service object? I'd
like to look at what Spring packages you are using.

There are a few solutions that come to mind.

1) Find a Dalvik JAR of the client library for that Spring service package.
2) Add the necessary Spring client source code to your Android client project.
3) Use the more loosely coupled XML/JSON/REST client-server architecture.

Perhaps someone who has used Spring with Android can pipe in. However
most of the client-server code I've run across for Android used option
3) and some use SOAP or XMLRPC.
