The static discovery agent does not truly discover the available brokers. It uses an explicit list of broker URLs to specify the available brokers. Brokers are not involved with the static discovery agent. The client only knows about the brokers that are hard coded into the agent's URI.
The static discovery agent is a client-side only agent. It does not require any configuration on the brokers that will be discovered.
To use the agent, you simply configure the client to connect to a broker using a discovery protocol that uses a static agent URI.
The static discovery agent URI conforms to the syntax in Example 2.5.
Example 2.6 shows a URL that configures a client to use the dynamic discovery protocol to connect to one member of a broker pair.
Example 2.6. Discovery URL using the Static Discovery Agent
discovery://(static://(tcp://localhost:61716,tcp://localhost:61816))
