Hi! I'm working on writing an XmpDetector for my Cartographer protocol.
I'm digging through the interface and abstract detector classes and was wondering if you guys can answer some questions. - If I understand it correctly, the basic interface of a detector is simply given an InetAddress and is asked "does that system have the protocol/service on it?" I'm free to figure it out however I would like and I return true/false. Is this a correct understanding? - Is there one instance of an XmpDetector created for the entire running ONMS instance (like collectors) or are there many instances of XmpDetectors ? - If the interface is that simple, do I need to bother to try to inherit from BasicDetector or SyncDetector? - My protocol is synchronous; do I need to somehow declare that or let the creater of my detector know this? - How do I glue my newly created XmpDetector back into the ONMS hive so that its invoked automatically? I'm guessing some sort of etc/xml file? (Once I get my detector developed and submitted, I'm going to get working on integrating Cartographer/topography data. I figured I'd start with an XmpDetector as its been a while since I've written/submitted to ONMS and figure it will take me a bit to re-learn the code and architecture.) Thanks, Bobby
