| <p><br></p> |
| <p>A new API has been introduced for accessing remote OSGi services. The ECF remoteservices API is found in the plugin: <b>org.eclipse.ecf.remoteservice</b>. |
| This API resembles the OSGi services API, but is designed to specifically support accessing remote services via either synchronous or asynchronous |
| messaging. That is, remote services can be invoked with call-return semantics, as with local services, but the remote services API also exposes asynchronous |
| invocation of remote OSGi services as an option for the client of the service. See also the test code in the plugin <b>org.eclipse.ecf.test.remoteservice</b></p> |
| <p> |
| See the javadocs for the |
| <a href="http://www.eclipse.org/ecf/org.eclipse.ecf.docs/api/org/eclipse/ecf/remoteservice/package-summary.html">org.eclipse.ecf.remoteservice package</a>, and the |
