net.jxta.service
Interface Service

All Superinterfaces:: net.jxta.platform.Module

public interface Service
extends net.jxta.platform.Module

This interface implements the peer group service interface. Peer groups are formed as a collection of peers that have agreed upon a common set of services. The JXTA platform provides a predefined set of services to build peer groups

Every service is defined by a net.jxta.protocol.ModuleImplAdvertisement. The Service advertisement provides the necessary information to uniquely identify the service and to contact its associated service(s).

When a new peer is joining a peer group an instance of all the services associated with the new peer group is created on this peer dynamically. Not all services need to be resident on a peer. A peer can dynamically load a new service from the peer it contacted to join the new peer group (via the PeerGroupAdvertisement of this group).
