public class UIManagerBean

extends java.lang.Object

A Helper-class doing all the dirty work for a UI, so that new UIs can be written easily. It looks (among other things) for services that are representable by out UI. If a service is not yet representable for us you may write a representation for it and atach the representation looking for the services you can represent, use getAdmin (it has toi be Administratable) and atach yourself with net.jini.admin.JoinAdmin::addLookupAttributes(Entry[] attrSets) (if that interface is supported by the admin-object of the service) You meight find it usefull to atach thr actual UI as an EntryBean to the Entry instead of serializing it somehow without breaking all the references in it or creating it when it if used either by some magic (wrap all functions) or by requiring some special init()-function.
