Re: Recommendations for working with LookupCache

Mark, Bob

Thanks for your responses. I'll respond to both at once because the
answer is the same.

My problem is simply a coding error on my part. You both pointed to
some mistake with equality--that gave me a clue. I was passing the
service item, not the service reference, to discard(). The Object
parameter should have been the queue, however I reasoned that the
LookupCache was a cache of ServiceItems, and would need the item
reference to know what to discard. By calling discard(serviceref)
LookupCache behaves as expected, and I don't need my complicated
workaround.

One question (re: Jini design)--why discard service references and not
service items? It's not clear to me how one should look at it (esp.
being new to Jini).


Thanks again, your answers saved me from some too-complex code.
Patrick
