Spring Framework , feature toggle and Multi war project

Does spring have a mechanism which allows multi war projects communicate with each other?

I want to create a solution whereby the features in my application are controlled by a central point (possibly a html page in one of the WAR files) and when an update is made to turn on/off the feature this change is propagated down to the correct WAR which may use annotations or possibly spring profiles to act on the communicated change.

I've looked at a couple of frameworks like Togglz and Fitchy which provide a feature toggle solution however neither is ideal for my requirements.

All suggestions welcome.

Thanks,

Spring have an integration with JMS that can be used in such situation. Check it out. All available options are listed here (including RMI, Spring's HTTP invoker, Hessian, Burlap, JAX-RPC and JAX-WS). Advantage of asyncronous approach like JMS is that it is better from fault tolerance point of view (you can more easily handle the situation where app1 sends a message to app2 which is temporarily turned off). On the other hand if fault tolerance does not metter then some syncronous solution like JAX-WS may be more easy to do. Hope it helps.
