[ecf-dev] local remote services
|
Hi Folks,
In a fit of desire to work on something new this past weekend, I
implemented a new ECF remote services provider for inclusion in ECF 3.4.
This provider provides access to remote services *locally* (i.e. within
the same framework).
What is the purpose for a remote service provider that is local-only?
:) There are at least two purposes:
1) The ability to asynchronously access an OSGi service (i.e.
AsyncCallback, IFuture, IRemoteService) [1]
2) Testing of a remote service...without the necessarily messy steps of
network discovery, and distribution. This should facilitate
writing/running test code for remote services...without having to have
the discovery and distribution defined, deployed, configured on a given
network, etc.
This new provider project is located here:
host: dev.eclipse.org (extssh or pserver/anonymous access)
cvs path: /cvsroot/rt
module: org.eclipse.ecf/providers/bundles/org.eclipse.ecf.provider.local
There's also an initial test project:
module: org.eclipse.ecf/tests/bundles/org.eclipse.ecf.tests.provider.local
