What is Openwings relationship to Jini?
One of the key premises of the architecture is that everything in the system is treated as a service and dynamically provides the software others need to make use of its services. Openwings specifies a set of “Component Services” that discuss how services will connect to each other and their services on the network. Today, Jini represents the best implementation of a self-discovery framework. Openwings provides a simplified model for implementing Jini services as good “Jini Citizens.” It s important to understand that Openwings itself is not dependent on Jini, but initial implementations of the Openwings framework will likely implement the “Component Services” using Jini technology.
