Isn't that what i originally described? The serialized export of the
server is stored in the network buffers and the DGC does not start
until deserialized in the client?
What are you suggesting here, that for every factory that produces an
exported reference we should implement a Jini Lease (on the server side)?
Nope, just keep a reference for the same duration as the Lease granted
by the registrar. You could use a timer to set the reference to null
once the lease has expired.
By the way, there is nothing to discover here, its just returning a
exported service to a client in a jeri call.
