Currently there's no web page for the project. Roughly, the project aims to develop a system which recieves petitions from clients to execute computationally expensive jobs on remote Clouds. The system, through deltacloud and other tools, connects to various IaaS providers (clouds or grids), choses the most appropriate one according to certain heuristics (based on load balancing, price and system requirements) and transparently executes the job and returns the results. >> I've been looking for Java REST clients, and there is not a single >> library which seems to be particularly appropriate.

On the meantime I wrote a first test to connect to deltacloud, which connects to Amazon and then retrieves the list of images, and I already obtained weird results. The connection works OK, but I cannot retrieve the images which I own. The authentication however does not seems to be the problem, since I obtain a huge list of available images (some owned by Amazon, some I don't know by whom) which I wouldn't get if the authentication was not successful. To do so I call these two methods of Class DeltaCloudClient: DeltaCloudClientImpl(String url, String username, String password) listImages() Any clues? > [1] https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/DTACLOUD > [2] > http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=cUC96SdQjaE#t=1827s > >> If I can get to use this client I could provide bugs reports and usage >> examples. >> >> Thanks in advance, >> Dario. >>
