| caller. |
| </p> |
| <p> |
| ECF's Remote Services implementation allows the use of custom or alternative distribution providers. Allows ECF's |
| Remote Services implementation to be used with any desired serialization mechanism and any suitable communications protocol. |
| </p> |
| <p>For easy creation of distribution providers, we've added a new <a href="http://download.eclipse.org/rt/ecf/3.11.0/javadoc/org/eclipse/ecf/remoteservice/provider/IRemoteServiceDistributionProvider.html">IRemoteServiceDistributionProvider</a> |
| interface so that a distribution provider may be registered for use via the <a href="http://www.osgi.org/wiki/uploads/Links/whiteboard.pdf">OSGi whiteboard pattern</a>. |
| <a href="http://download.eclipse.org/rt/ecf/3.11.0/javadoc/org/eclipse/ecf/remoteservice/provider/package-frame.html">Here is the org.eclipse.ecf.remoteservice.provider</a> package. |
| </p> |
| <p> |
| For example, <a href="https://github.com/ECF/JaxRSProviders/blob/master/bundles/org.eclipse.ecf.provider.jersey.client/src/org/eclipse/ecf/provider/jersey/client/JerseyClientDistributionProvider.java">here is a distribution |
| provider</a> implemented using <a href="http://jersey.java.net">Jersey Jax-RS</a> REST framework. A single instance of this class |
| is <a href="https://github.com/ECF/JaxRSProviders/blob/master/bundles/org.eclipse.ecf.provider.jersey.server/OSGI-INF/distributionprovider.xml">registered via Declarative Services</a> and any remote services using the 'ecf.jaxrs.jersey.server' config type will |
| use Jersey as the distribution mechanism. See the <a href="https://github.com/ECF/JaxRSProviders/tree/master/examples">examples</a> in |
| the <a href="https://github.com/ECF/JaxRSProviders">JaxRSProviders</a> repo for complete examples of using this provider. |
