Explain why the Jini lookup service is the heart of the Jini architecture.

What will be an ideal response?


The Jini lookup service maintains information about available Jini services. It also
allows service providers to publish their services and enables clients to discover and use those
services. A service provider discovers and registers the service interface with one or more
lookup services to make the service available to clients. Clients discover the lookup services
and request a service they require. The lookup services then send a copy of the service interface
to the client.Upon obtaining the service interface, the client communicates with the service
provider using the service interface via RMI calls.
