Jini's all about surviving intermittent network failures, so these
really shouldn't present any problems.

Could you post sample code and configuration files for how you are
registering the services?  I'd like to check whether you're using
JoinManager correctly.

In your earlier post you had said something about registering with one
registrar and having it update the other.  That isn't how the registrars
work.  The do not talk to each other.  Your service is responsible for
registering with all the ServiceRegistrar instances it discovers.  This
functionality is encapsulated for convenience within the JoinManager
class.


Cheers,

Greg.
