To flesh it out a bit more: Let’s say I’m running services A and B on the same connection. How would I introspect objects on these services? I can’t distinguish between the services based on the interface because it’s the same interface. So the two services would basically need to share the same object-path namespace, in which case they’re basically the same service. If the message recipient were to receive the same DESTINATION that the sender gave, it would be possible to have multiple services because whatever “broker” logic divvies up the messages between services A and B could simply sort by DESTINATION. <shrug> -F _______________________________________________ dbus mailing list [email protected] https://lists.freedesktop.org/mailman/listinfo/dbus
