I am no JClouds expert but :
I tend to use this (and seems like this is encouraged):
-------------
NovaApi api =
ContextBuilder.newBuilder(...)
.credentials(...)
.endpoint(...)
.buildApi(NovaApi.class);
---------------
than this:
---------------
ctx=ContextBuilder.newBuilder(
"openstack-nova")//
.endpoint("....")//
.credentials("...", "....")//
.buildView(ComputeServiceContext.class);
//RestContext use seems to be discouraged now as i see it is deprecated
//RestContext<NovaApi, NovaAsyncApi> nova = ctx.unwrap()
//nova.getApi()... // do something with NovaApi
NovaApi novaApi = ctx.unwrapApi(NovaApi.class);
----------------
But I always wanted to know what is the difference between a View and Api?
Can I have different View other that ComputerServiceContext for a compute
provider?

Kavan
