/**
 * Topic based Publish-Subscribe sample Java applications.
 * 
 * Publish-Subscribe allows applications to
 * subscribe to published streams from other applications,
 * allowing data exchange between applications.
 * <BR>
 * Streams may be exchanged between applications implemented
 * in different languages.
 * <P>
 * To demo these applications execute the {@link topic.PublishBeacon}
 * application one or more times and then the {@link topic.SubscribeBeacon}
 * one or more times. Then view the Streams console or Streams Studio
 * live instance graph to see that the applications connected.
 * <BR>
 * To see the dynamic nature you can run: publish, subscribe, subscribe,
 * publish,subscribe and then see the first two subscribe applications
 * did connect up with the publish application that was submitted after them.
 * For example, the output in Streams Studio instance graph would look
 * something like this, where you can see five running jobs, two publishers
 * (jobs ids 42, 45) and three subscribers (jobs 43,44, 46):
