No, only one daemon can run on any single machine, as it has to bind to the SLP port (427).
The jSLP implementation tries to bind to port 427 when it starts up, and if it can't do so, just acts as a UA. Hence, the first Java app that runs on a machine sets itself up as a daemon, and the rest run as UAs. Note that, on Unix machines, an app must be running as root to be able to bind to port 427. -----Original Message----- From: Noel Grandin [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: 20 May 2008 06:44 To: John Calcote Cc: openslp-users@lists.sourceforge.net; Hird Matthew Subject: Re: [Openslp-users] java library still active? Hi Then I guess what I'm asking is : Is it legitimate in terms of the protocol for every app to run it's own daemon? Thanks, Noel.
