In October 1999, JavaWorld columnist Bill Venners first introduced readers to a working draft of the ServiceUI specification for attaching user interfaces to Jini services. In the year and a half since then, the ServiceUI project at Jini.org, largely due to Venners's efforts, has released a 1.0 specification and reference implementation.

In this article, I'll explain how to attach an interface to a simple Jini service, and then walk you through building an application to browse those services using Swing components and the ServiceUI framework.
