restructure service providers for remoting ------------------------------------------ Key: JBREM-496 URL: http://jira.jboss.com/jira/browse/JBREM-496 Project: JBoss Remoting Issue Type: Task Security Level: Public(Everyone can see) Components: general Affects Versions: 2.0.0.Beta2 (Boon) Reporter: Tom Elrod Assigned To: Tom Elrod Fix For: 2.0.0.CR1 (Boon) Need a way to package and identify transport implementations for remoting. The idea is that anyone would be able to create their own transport implementation and drop it in and be "deployed" (where deployed means can just automatically discovered and used during runtime). A few ideas of how to do this are: 1. Use service provider from jar metadata - http://java.sun.com/j2se/1.4.2/docs/guide/jar/jar.html#Service%20Provider (e.g. URL[] urls = new Class().getResources("META-INF/services/org.jboss.remoting/Transport") ; ) 2. Follow jndi pattern for package name. (e.g. org.jboss.remoting.plugins.http.TransportFactory).
