Re: [ecf-dev] Remoting with ECF (with REST) in Eclipse RCP?

Hi Wim, Scott,

Thank a lot for your answer and information.
I have seen that EDEF can be help you to customize host URL (CXF DOSGi provides the sam ething because it's  OSGi 4.2 Remote Service Admin (RSA)).
But I don't like that because you hard code the base URL of the server in a XML file. I would like for instance do like this : 

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
<property name="endpoint.id" value-type="String" value="${baseURL}"/>
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

And configure baseURL in a properties file with an OSGi fragmen

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
baseURL=ecftcp://localhost:3787/server
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

With Spring Expresion you can do that.

Anyway many thanks to have token time to answer me. I will study ECF, Restlet and post my question if I have problem.

Regards Angelo

As Wim indicated, discovery is typically used to communicate the base URL
(known as endpoint in OSGi spec), from the registered host service and
consumers.  This discovery can be via some network protocol (zookeeper,
zeroconf, dnssd, slp), or it can be via the 'file-based discovery' that is
part of the OSGi specification.  This is known as the endpoint description
extender format (edef)

FWIW, Restlet supports JSON as well as JAX-RS.
