James (and everyone else),

Ok, I feel somewhat stupid now.  What I'm really looking for is to have the
ActiveMQ broker show up in my Bonjour Browser window.  Now to make that
happen I'm think I need to add some stuff to the "ActiveMQ-4." string to
make it end up more like "default._ActiveMQ-4._tcp.local." which would then
appear in the mdns browser.  I've edited the RendevousDiscoveryAgent.java
code, but am still not seeing it.  Looking a little closer at the code
there, I am thinking I somehow need to call the registerService method in
order for it to actually make it to the mDNS server.  Any help here would be
greatly appreciated.

TIA,
Kit

Were you ever able to get this to work?  I really need to get discovery
working but since AMQ leaves off the protocol and domain I can't use real
Bonjour or mdns libraries.  Using java isn't an option since it has to be
perl.

Note that things appear straight away if you use the browser that
comes with jmDNS

java -jar lib/jmdns.jar -browse

then it appears.

I've just patch SVN HEAD to explicitly prepend a "_" to ensure that
the names look a bit nicer in rendezvous. I even tried hacking
RendevousDiscoveryAgent to use similar naming schemes to other
services but I couldn't get the Bonjour Browser to pick it up - no
idea what the magic is (maybe known services have to be configured
into it in the right way for it to recognise it?)
