However, the + * primary use case is to allow a remote manager to be informed of End Point + * Descriptions available in the network and inform the network about available + * End Point Descriptions. + * + * Both the network bundle and the manager bundle register an Endpoint + * Listener service. The manager informs the network bundle about End Points + * that it creates. The network bundles then uses a protocol like + * SLP to announce these local end-points to the network. + * + * If the network bundle discovers a new Endpoint through its discovery + * protocol, then it sends an End Point Description to all the End Point + * Listener services that are registered (except its own) that have specified an + * interest in that endpoint. + * + * Endpoint Listener services can express their <i>scope</i> with the service + * property {@link #ENDPOINT_LISTENER_SCOPE}. This service property is a list + * of filters. An Endpoint Description should only be given to a Endpoint + * Listener when there is at least one filter that matches the Endpoint + * Description properties. given to it. + * + * This filter model is quite flexible. For example, a discovery bundle is only + * interested in locally originating Endpoint Descriptions. The following filter + * ensure that it only sees local endpoints. + * + * <pre> + * (org.osgi.framework.uuid=72dc5fd9-5f8f-4f8f-9821-9ebb433a5b72) + * </pre> + * + * In the same vein, a manager that is only interested in remote Endpoint + * Descriptions can use a filter like: + * + * <pre> + * (!(org.osgi.framework.uuid=72dc5fd9-5f8f-4f8f-9821-9ebb433a5b72)) + * </pre> + * + * Where in both cases, the given UUID is the UUID of the local framework that + * can be found in the Framework properties. + * + * The Endpoint Listener's scope maps very well to the service hooks. A + * manager can just register all filters found from the Listener Hook as its + * scope. This will automatically provide it with all known endpoints that match + * the given scope, without having to inspect the filter string. + * + * In general, when an Endpoint Description is discovered, it should be + * dispatched to all registered Endpoint Listener services. If a new Endpoint + * Listener is registered, it should be informed about all currently known + * Endpoints that match its scope. If a getter of the Endpoint Listener service + * is unregistered, then all its registered Endpoint Description objects must be + * removed. + * + * The Endpoint Listener models a <i>best effort</i> approach. Participating + * bundles should do their utmost to keep the listeners up to date, but + * implementers should realize that many endpoints come through unreliable + * discovery processes. + * + * + * @ThreadSafe + */ +public interface EndpointListener { + /** + * Specifies the interest of this listener with filters.
