9 | * The {@code ServiceBus} is the primary api that client applications use to interact with the Kuali | |
10 | * Service Bus. It provides capabilities to retrieve services endpoints for use when needing to | |
11 | * invoke a service. It also provides a mechanism by which a client application can publish it's own | |
12 | * services to the bus. | |
13 | * | |
14 | * <p> | |
15 | * The service bus may be backed by a service registry which can be used to locate services which | |
16 | * other applications have published to the service registry. The service bus will synchronize it's | |
17 | * known state with the of the registry, either through explicit invocations of the | |
18 | * {@link #synchronize()} method or on a periodic basis (the details of which are up to the | |
19 | * implementation). | |
20 | * | |
21 | * <p> | |
22 | * Note that the {@code ServiceBus} manages two primary collections of {@link Endpoint} classes. | |
23 | * Those that have been published by this application (referred to as "local" endpoints) and those | |
24 | * which have been published by other applications (referred to as "remote" endpoints). | |
