Hi Mike
Thanks for asking these questions. This lets us know where we need to
add documentation of value.
Here's an explanation on how the Jxta Service Provider Implementation
works (this is the layer on top of Jxta Platform implemented in Shoal
below the GMS APIs) wrt health monitoring
http://wikis.sun.com/display/shoal/Shoal%27s+Jxta+Service+Provider%27s+Health+Monitoring+Protocol
This is work in progress and we will add additional information into the
document soon.
Let us know if you need any further clarifications.
