Summary
In this chapter, we examined how JXTA programs may become network services: they may become JXTA peer services, they may become JXTA peergroup services, and arbitrary network services can advertise themselves via JXTA to other JXTA peers.
Network services have many advantages over standard applications: they allow developers to create a set of cooperating, highly available, and robust services. This type of service model, one that can be robust in the face of network failure and scalable as more peers join the network, is one of the key reasons why JXTA is such a powerful technology.
