Locations

A location expresses the communication medium, along with its configuration parameters, a service uses for exposing its interface (input port) or invoking another service (output port).

A location must indicate the communication medium the port has to use and its related parameters in this form: medium[:parameters], where medium is a medium identifier and the optional parameters is a medium-specific string.

Jolie currently supports four media:

• socket (TCP/IP sockets).
• btl2cap (Bluetooth L2CAP);
• rmi (Java RMI);
• localsocket (Unix local sockets);

An example of a valid location is: "socket://www.mysite.com:80/", where socket:// is the location medium and the following part represents its parameters.

For a thorough description of the locations supported by Jolie and their parameters see Locations section.
