And one further follow up. Is there a concept of leases in Hivemind that I've missed?

Specifically, can the Registry reclaim resources being consumed by unused services or does a service have to explicitly deregister to be gc'd?

Ok, so I'm new here, forgive me if this sounds like a troll. It is not intended to be one.

I've read the documentation and am still left wondering what the intended design differences are between Hivemind and Jini. The important ones I have been able to discern so far are:

1 - No hot loading of code in Hivemind
2 - No defined tuplespace engine in Hivemind
3 - Non-XML config files in Jini
4 - No multi-cast discovery mechanisms for the registry in Hivemind
5 - No (or poor) integration with J2EE in Jini
6 - Apache licensing (Hivemind) vs SCSL licensing (Jini)

I guess a place where the documentation leaves me a bit confused as well is with regards to remote invocation of services. Is it the case that I could write an RMI or WS interceptor for a Hivemind service and vend that in a Jini LUS or a WS Registry? If I'm right there, then I think I see how I'd use Jini, J2EE and Hivemind together. Otherwise, I'm extremely confused.

Thoughts?
