Well, George, I was specifically trying to limit the discussion to just using JERI.  If you throw in the use of the LUS
because you also need something for lookup besides RMID/RMIregistry which don't know how to use something besides JRMP
over TCP, then there is obviously some other things to learn about.

The flexibility of the Configuration mechanism means that there is not a canned API with a limited set of methods to
learn.  Instead, you design your configuration values and how your application uses them.  This is no different than
using a properties file, or some other form of configuration though, so this shouldn't be a foreign concept to most Java
developers.

Thanks for putting together your rundown on steps to go through George.  Also, please spend some time look at the
jini.org project, v2getsmart at http://v2getsmart.jini.org.  This project has all kinds of tutorial materials and links
related to learning more about JERI and the related features in Jini2.0.
