Description Markus Kuppe CLA 2008-12-16 07:31:08 EST 
"The Service Location Protocol, Version 2 (SLPv2) provides a mechanism
   for a service to be discovered in a single exchange of messages.
   This exchange of messages does not presently include any of the
   service's attributes.  This document specifies a SLPv2 extension
   which allows a User Agent (UA) to request a service's attributes be
   included as an extension to Service Reply messages.  This will
   eliminate the need for multiple round trip messages for a UA to
   acquire all service information." [1]

This is especially useful to get rid of the suboptimal implementation in org.eclipse.ecf.internal.provider.jslp.LocatorDecoratorImpl.getServiceURLs().
