Hi, I attach a first draft of the proposed service discovery SAGA API extension following very closely my presentation at the last GGF. Once I have write access to CVS I will check the source files in. We have a prototpye implementation which does not make use of a proper adapter mechanism yet - however we plan to use the SAGA adapter style for the C++. The C++ prototpye is almost complete for the BDII (LDAP) information system and the R-GMA one is not far behind. The performance is good - we can show it at Manchester. We would appreciate any comments - especially identifying those areas where we are not doing things "the SAGA way". Incidentally we were surprised that we are only expected to use one name space for the implementation - why are sub-namespaces not permitted - especially for the API extensions? For the Java implementation are we expected to use lower case class names and underscore separated method names? Steve
