Re: SMAPI Java library?

There are already Java libraries to front-end Sun RPC, so that would be one way 
to go about it. You'd have to feed the RPC stubs to rpcgen to get a proper 
mapping for your system, but that's not unusual behavior for Sun RPC app 
interfaces.

Has IBM or anyone wrappered z/VM SMAPI

  in Java classes akin to how the host servers
on i/OS got wrappered by JTOpen? I have not found anything, in particular, no 
open

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.

The z/VM product does not include a Java class library for SMAPI.

Thanks, Alan, for your help. I guess we'll whip such a library together over
the next few weeks unless I do anything precipitous like get a job :-)
