services and servers

Hi all

We run a number of Jini servers on a number of servers. The only Jini
clients are other servers. To know which servers should run which
services I use a smiple property file containing service names, and
those services mentioned there are started on each server.

My problem is that the services also are singletons so there is nothing
to stop a programmer from instantiating a new server at runtime (and I
dont want this). A simple solution would be for getInstance to check if
the current server has the service name in its property file but this
feels a bit awkward.

Is there a fantastic solution to this kind of problem?

Regards
