Hello all,
I'm fairly new to the list, but have been watching with interest (I like
the ServiceManager stuff), and I'm slowly moving our product to use
Avalon's stuff as much as possible.
Anyway, I've been digging around a bit and still can't quite find what
I'm looking for. What I want to be able to do is 'run' my components
remotely and then look them up from some client. By this I mean I would
like to have a central location for them, such as a JNDI tree or
something similar and have my clients, mostly installed Swing apps on an
intranet or webapps, lookup Components from this central repository.
I've seen a bit on this list about the Resolver interface/class and some
proposals to urls and such, but I don't know where this is (I have
Avalon-4.1.1. and Excalibur-4.0b4 and I can't get Cornerstone from the
web. No link on the site). I've also seen the RMI and Naming stuff in
Excalibur, but one of the source files says to not use it, not
production worthy.
Is this something that Phoenix should be able to do? I'm a tad leary of
that just because my boss doesn't want a 'full' server (I know it's a
microkernel, but have to convince others of such).
Should I build my own remote component implementation that will do the
communicating via RMI or SOAP or whatever?
What are my options?
Thanks a bunch,
Robert McIntosh
