public class DiscoveryConnector
extends java.lang.Object
implements RequestHandler, java.util.concurrent.Callable
Discovery conector makes a unicast (TCP/IP) connection to a 'remote' space
running on a reacable IP address. It can then reply to requests on the
local network for discovey request from space clients. This a means
that FlyFinder and FlyCache can be used in all client without direct
reference to IP addresses etc.
This makes EC2 instances, for example, able to run clients without
reconfiguring or recompiling code. So this forms part of Cortez
and may also be useful in other situations.
