There are already Java libraries to front-end Sun RPC, so that would

to get a proper mapping for your system, but that's not unusual
behavior for Sun RPC app interfaces.
The new SMAPI in 5.3 is not RPC based, it's just socket programming.
See, on OS/400 (i/OS) there is the
formerly-inhouse-IBM-project-now-Open-Source called JTOpen which
provides Java class objects to perform work on iSeries via host-resident
TCP/IP service threads like the
SMAPI servers.
I'm just trying to ascertain that IBM is actually not providing an
equivalent a Java class library for z/VM
SMAPI ... that appears to be the case ... if it is indeed the case we
are looking at writing such an open
source class library.
Then on top of that we can write some Awesome GUI Stuph for z/VM.
