Hi Paul,
How about having a publishing service interface. This way you can have
blocks implementing different publishing schemes. JMX, RMI, SOAP, JNDI, Jini
(I would love this one), and AltRMI ;) are all good candidates to integrate
Avalon with other technologies. I think it makes sense to have publishing
service instead of a component because usually you publish object just for
another framework within an application.
The interface would be very similar with the one from SystemManager in
Phoenix:
public interface PublishingService
{
void register( Object name, Object object, Class[] interfaces )
throws PublishingException, IllegalArgumentException;
void register( Object name, Object object )
throws ManagerException, IllegalArgumentException;
void unregister( Object name )
throws ManagerException;
}
for different schemes, name Object can be :
JMX -> ObjectName
SOAP -> relative URL
JNDI -> String
Jini -> ServiceItem
AltRMI -> String
What do you think?
