public class SearchPath
extends java.lang.Object

A search path is an abstract way to describe a technology (e.g. DPWS, Bluetooth, ZigBee, etc.) and a physical or virtual interface of the local machine within this technology (such as an IP address, a network adapter name, a serial port number, etc.). Such interfaces are referred to as domain identifiers whereas different technologies are represented by specific technology identifiers.
