public interface IDiscoveryAdvertiser
extends org.eclipse.core.runtime.IAdaptable

Entry point discovery advertiser. This interface exposes the ability to register and unregister locally provided services.

This interface can be used by container provider implementations as an adapter so that calls to IContainer.getAdapter(IDiscoveryAdvertiser.class) will return a non-null instance of a class that implements this interface. Clients can then proceed to use this interface to interact with the given discovery implementation.

Since:
3.0

Parameters:
serviceInfo - IServiceInfo of the service to be published. Must not be null.

unregisterService

void unregisterService(IServiceInfo serviceInfo)

Parameters:
serviceInfo - IServiceInfo defining the service to unregister. Must not be null.

unregisterAllServices

void unregisterAllServices()
Unregister all previously registered service.


getServicesNamespace

Namespace getServicesNamespace()
Get a Namespace for services associated with this discovery container adapter. The given Namespace may be used via IServiceIDFactory to create IServiceIDs rather than simple IDs. For example:
 IServiceID serviceID = ServiceIDFactory.getDefault().createServiceID(
                container.getServicesNamespace(), serviceType, serviceName);
 

Returns:
Namespace for creating service IDs. Will not be null .
