RingProvider uses a RingServer advertised TupleSpace as a name service. TupleSpace clients can register themselves with the remote TupleSpace and look up other provided services via the remote TupleSpace.
Services are registered with a tuple of the format [:name, klass, DRbObject, description].
Creates a RingProvider that will provide a klass service running on front, with a description. renewer is optional.
# File rinda/ring.rb, line 232
def initialize(klass, front, desc, renewer = nil)
@tuple = [:name, klass, front, desc]
@renewer = renewer || Rinda::SimpleRenewer.new
end
Advertises this service on the primary remote TupleSpace.
# File rinda/ring.rb, line 240
def provide
ts = Rinda::RingFinger.primary
ts.write(@tuple, @renewer)
end
