Samples with JmDNS

Question

I\'ve been able to get the samples that come with JmDNS to compile and run, however I can\'t get any of the classes to discover my services.

To discover a specific type of service, you need to know the correct service type name, check out DNS SRV (RFC 2782) Service Types:

String bonjourServiceType = "_http._tcp.local.";
bonjourService = JmDNS.create();
bonjourService.addServiceListener(bonjourServiceType, bonjourServiceListener);
ServiceInfo[] serviceInfos = bonjourService.list(bonjourServiceType);
for (ServiceInfo info : serviceInfos) {
  System.out.println("## resolve service " + info.getName()  + " : " + info.getURL());
}
bonjourService.close();

For VNC, use _rfb._tcp.local.
For SSH, use _ssh._tcp.local.
For Apache, use _http._tcp.local.
