| Re: [ecf-dev] ECF-RFC119 custom discovery provider? | 
Hi Bryan,
Bryan Hunt wrote:
I'm now looking at creating a custom discovery provider.  My services 
will be distributed across a WAN, but I'll have a couple of permanent 
servers that can be used for discovery.  Looking at the JMDNS 
provider, I see it contributes three factories:
ecf.discovery.jmdns
ecf.discovery.jmdns.locator
ecf.discovery.jmdns.advertiser
Yes.  Previously there was only one container, that had both the locator 
and advertiser.  In the 3.0 cycle the locator and advertiser were 
separated out, and the combination was left in place (see 
https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=271314).
AbstractDiscoveryContainerAdapter is a good class to start from for a 
custom provider.
Markus can also comment on this and other discovery issues as he has 
been the lead for working on the discovery API.

I think I understand the locator and the advertiser ... what's the 
third factory?  If I have a service that needs to be discovered, but 
will never access any other remote services, do I still need to 
provide all three factories?  Also, is extending 
AbstractDiscoveryContainerAdapter the place to start?
Bryan
