[ https://jira.jboss.org/jira/browse/DNA-259?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin... ] Sergiy Litsenko updated DNA-259: -------------------------------- Environment: IP networks Multicast DNS/DNS-SD Description: Federated repository works with multiple resources that require some sort of configuration and automatic discovery of services on IP networks. While it is might be difficult to enable zeroconf for some external resources without prior deploying some agents - it worth to at least enable auto-discovery of JBoss DNA Federated repository - it might be very important for JBoss DNA clients and for JBoss DNA itself in a scenario where DNA repository might sit on top of hierarchy of other DNA repositories. It is very likely scenario for global companies that have distributed, independently managed offices but still want to benefit from federated repository features. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zeroconf Brief description of Zeroconf and related technologies http://www.apple.com/macosx/technology/bonjour.html Bonjour, formerly Rendezvous, is Apple Inc.'s trade name for its implementation of Zeroconf, a service discovery protocol. Bonjour locates devices such as printers, as well as other computers, and the services that those devices offer on a local network using multicast Domain Name System service records. This feature used in iTunes to advertise playlist. Bonjour for Windows includes a plug-in for Internet Explorer, so you can set up a Bonjour-enabled device without knowing its IP address. http://jmdns.sourceforge.net/ JmDNS as a pure Java implementation of mDNS/DNS-SD might help with implementing discovery of other instances of JBoss DNA repository. It is used by Apache ActiveMQ (http://activemq.apache.org/discovery.html) which implements Discovery Agent to detect remote services such as remote JMS brokers. was: Federated repository works with multiple resources that require some sort of configuration and automatic discovery of services on IP networks.
