Overview

Talon provides built in discovery providers that are used to simplify configuration and make the overall system less tightly coupled. Talon discovery is used for the following:

• Application cluster establishment (store discovery)
• XVM discovery
  • Allows management clients such as Robin and Lumino to discover running XVM
  • Allows application's using the direct message bus binding implementation to find peer applications and connect to them. 

Discovery Providers

Multicast

SMA

Loopback

Local

The local discovery provider is a simple provider that can be used to find other entities in the same process. It is similar to the SMA loopback provider, but has lower overhead. The local discovery provider can be particularly useful when writing unit tests that are launching all applications in the same jvm.
