Greetings ECFers,
There is a new service lookup and discovery API for ECF:
org.eclipse.ecf.discovery. This plugin exposes several interfaces, the
core of which are the following:
IDiscoveryContainer: The container adapter interface, that exposes
discovery capabilities of a container
IServiceTypeListener: Clients can register themselves as listeners for
service type notifications (via the IDiscoveryContainer interface), and
then be notified as new service types are discovered (e.g. http, ssh, etc).
IServiceListener: Clients can register themselves as listeners for
service notifications (via the IDiscoveryContainer interface), and
then be notified as new services are discovered (joe's http server, etc).
IServiceInfo: The basic specification of a service provided by the
discovery interface
This API is now checked into the ECF CVS repository and will be in the
next integration build (6/3/2005). Any comments/review/criticisms/rants
etc about the abstract API are most welcome.
Also, I have an implementation of this discovery API implemented via an
ECF provider plugin that uses the JmDNS implementation of the Apple
Rendevous/zeroconf protocol (http://jmdns.sourceforge.net). This plugin
defines a container that implements IDiscoveryContainer and provides
service notification via zeroconf (with the JmDNS implementation). This
has not yet been deployed to ECF area because JmDNS is under the LGPL
and we do not yet have approval for including this library directly in
ECF.
I do, however, have a working version of this ECF provider plugin, along
with a trivial browser UI for browsing service types/services on a local
lan with zeroconf. If you would like access to this plugin, please just
let me know at slewis@composent.com
Thanks,
Scott

Hi Folks,
Forgot to mention...there is also example code of how to setup/use the
API in the example collab client in the org.eclipse.ecf.example.collab
project, in the class org.eclipse.ecf.example.collab.Client in the
setupDiscoveryContainer method.
