Vote for WS-Discovery --------------------- Key: JBWS-506 URL: http://jira.jboss.com/jira/browse/JBWS-506 Project: JBoss Web Services Issue Type: Feature Request Security Level: Public(Everyone can see) Components: productization Reporter: Thomas Diesler Fix For: jbossws-voting Please vote for WS-Discovery if this is relevant to your enterprise web services http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/en-us/dnglobspec/html/WS-Discovery.pdf This specification defines a multicast discovery protocol to locate services. By default, probes are sent to a multicast group, and target services that match return a response directly to the requester. To scale to a large number of endpoints, the protocol defines the multicast suppression behavior if a discovery proxy is available on the network. To minimize the need for polling, target services that wish to be discovered send an announcement when they join and leave the network.
