Discovery support service

The Discovery Support service enables you to monitor discovery responders in a multicast group. A DiscoveryMonitor object listens for discovery responder objects registering or deregistering in the multicast group. When the discovery monitor hears a discovery responder registering or deregistering, it sends a discovery responder notification to its listener. The notification is an instance of the Java class that implements the DiscoveryResponderNotification interface.

The DiscoveryMonitor is an MBean that listens for DiscoveryResponder objects registering or deregistering within a specific multicast group. A discovery responder listener is an instance of the Java class that implements the DiscoveryResponderListener interface. For example, it may be implemented to update a list of agents in the network.
