Re: [Bigdata-developers] NicUtil

Brian,

This currently blocking running unit tests against the federation on a single machine when that machine does not use eth0.

Let's take up the issue of how to start services separately.

Thanks,
Bryan

Ah, my fault.  It is LookupStarter on line #73 which references NicUtil using "eth0".


Okay.

For what it's worth, the original intent of the LookupStarter class was
to provide a convenient utility for the build.xml to use to auto-start and
auto-stop a lookup service that is external to the running of the junit tests
themselves. It was never intended to be used in deployment.

At some point I believe you moved that class from the test area to the
bigdata source area. That fact, and the fact that there's commented
out code in the JiniServicesHelper class that references LookupStarter,
seems to imply that there's a possible/future intent to use that utility
in the ServicesManagerService deployment mechanism. It would be
my recommendation to not do this. Instead, I would recommend that
the Jini ServiceStarter/NonActivatableServiceDescriptor mechanism
continue to be used.
