Discovery search service

The Discovery Search service consists of a discovery client that initiates the discovery operation and a discovery responder, each instance of which supplies the return information about the agent in which it is registered. The return information is represented in the discovery client by a discovery response object.

The DiscoveryClient class provides methods to discover agents. The discovery operation is initiated by the discovery client that sends a discovery request to a multicast group and waits for responses. The agents must have a DiscoveryResponder registered in their MBean server in order to be found by the discovery service.
