Noel, Why don't you run the OpenSLP solution as a daemon and let your java apps run as UAs? That's what we do.
cheers, Matt -----Original Message----- From: Noel Grandin [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: 20 May 2008 11:13 To: Morrell Richard Cc: 'openslp-users@lists.sourceforge.net' Subject: Re: [Openslp-users] java library still active? Hi Richard Aah, I see from reading the spec that SLP uses both multicast and unicast messages. Which is why only one application on a machine can be "the daemon". Is there any way to force an SLP client into a mode where it only works with multicast i.e. where every application runs its own daemon? This should be fine since multiple applications on the same machine can bind to the same multicast port. It really is a deal-breaker for me if I end up with inter-application dependencies, and I'd prefer not to invent my own protocol. Am I missing something? Regards, Noel.
