Hi,
In the distributed environment, when the client tries to talk to remote
service, it could be some latency before the service is available. For
example, it takes time for the endpoint registry to be updated with a remote
service.
In general, there are a few typical options to handle such latency.
1) The client programming model has a timeout, for example, OSGi
ServiceTracker.getService(timeout). SCA doesn't have such concept though.
Potentially, we can use some intents to express that.
2) The service proxy retries for a few times. For example, Axis2. I also saw
some code in our endpoint registry that retries for a few times when the
target endpoint cannot be found.
Any thoughts?
Thanks,
Raymond
