# serviceAPI

This example contains a simple illustration of the client and server sides of an EPICS V4 "service"
(based on pvAccess RPC), and the use of EPICS V4 Normative Types NTURI and NTTABLE.

Specific explanations and instructions can be found in the documentation of the parent 
module `exampleJava`.

The service illustrated is a notional archive service based on fake data just for
making the example, so it's completely self contained and aims for simplicity.
