<b>Enhanced Remote Services/Remote Service Admin Tooling</b>
</p>
</td>
<td valign="top" width="85%"><p>In <a
href="NewAndNoteworthy_3.10.0.html">ECF 3.10.0/Mars a Remote Services Perspective</a> was introduced. This perspective included
an Endpoint Discovery View allowing endpoints to be discovered (via network discovery and/or xml/EDEF-file-based discovery), examined,
and imported for use as a remote service.
<p>
<p>
In this release, there's a new Remote Service Admin (RSA) manager view. This view presents the Exported Services and Imported Endpoints
for the RSA running within Eclipse, allowing the programmer to <a href="http://wiki.eclipse.org/Remote_Services_Admin">examine and manipulate exported services and imported endpoints</a>.
This tooling may be used to test and debug ECF Remote Services by monitoring and managing the remote services export, discovery, and import.
<p>
<p>
For example, here is a screenshot showing an endpoint that has been exported and published for
by a remote
host (e.g. by a <a href="http://wiki.eclipse.org/EIG:Install_Timeline_Example_into_Apache_Karaf">Karaf-based host</a>),
and then <a href="http://wiki.eclipse.org/Discovery_Providers">discovered via the Zeroconf protocol</a> (presented
in the Endpoint Discovery View)<p>
<p>
<img src="images/screens/remoteserviceperspective.3.12.1.png">
</p>
The user can select this Discovered Endpoint, open the context menu, and select the 'Import Remote Service' menu.
The selected Endpoint will then be imported, and the Imported Endpoint will appear in the RSA Manager view.
<p>
<p>
<img src="images/screens/remoteserviceperspective.3.12.2.png">
</p>
<p>
Note that the imported endpoint (the remote service proxy) is also presented in the OSGi Services View, and the properties
associated with the selected mported endpoint are presented in the properties view.<p>
<p>
The Imported Endpoints presented in the RSA Manager view can be Unimported (again via context menu). As well,
if remote service hosts are exported, they will appear under the Exported Services group in the RSA Manager, and
can also be unexported via the RSA Manager context menu.

<b>Remote Services Distribution Provider API</b>

caller.
</p>
<p>
ECF's Remote Services implementation allows the use of custom or alternative distribution providers. Allows ECF's
Remote Services implementation to be used with any desired serialization mechanism and any suitable communications protocol.
</p>
<p>For easy creation of distribution providers, we've added a new <a href="http://download.eclipse.org/rt/ecf/3.11.0/javadoc/org/eclipse/ecf/remoteservice/provider/IRemoteServiceDistributionProvider.html">IRemoteServiceDistributionProvider</a>
interface so that a distribution provider may be registered for use via the <a href="http://www.osgi.org/wiki/uploads/Links/whiteboard.pdf">OSGi whiteboard pattern</a>.
<a href="http://download.eclipse.org/rt/ecf/3.11.0/javadoc/org/eclipse/ecf/remoteservice/provider/package-frame.html">Here is the org.eclipse.ecf.remoteservice.provider</a> package.
</p>
<p>
For example, <a href="https://github.com/ECF/JaxRSProviders/blob/master/bundles/org.eclipse.ecf.provider.jersey.client/src/org/eclipse/ecf/provider/jersey/client/JerseyClientDistributionProvider.java">here is a distribution
provider</a> implemented using <a href="http://jersey.java.net">Jersey Jax-RS</a> REST framework. A single instance of this class
is <a href="https://github.com/ECF/JaxRSProviders/blob/master/bundles/org.eclipse.ecf.provider.jersey.server/OSGI-INF/distributionprovider.xml">registered via Declarative Services</a> and any remote services using the 'ecf.jaxrs.jersey.server' config type will
use Jersey as the distribution mechanism. See the <a href="https://github.com/ECF/JaxRSProviders/tree/master/examples">examples</a> in
the <a href="https://github.com/ECF/JaxRSProviders">JaxRSProviders</a> repo for complete examples of using this provider.
