Mailing List Archive: A few questions about the java Xen api

Hello,

my name is Frank and I have some questions about the java Xen api.
I and my study colleagues are writing a web based (jsp) administration tool
for xen servers based on your java Xen api.

At the moment we encounter some problems with the api.
We discovered some bugs and have the problem that some functions aren't
implemented yet (serverside) on the XmlRpc Server (VMGuestMetrics).
The next problem is that we would like to be able to manage more than one
Xen server at the same time. This is not possible with the latest
implementation of the ConnectionHelper class.
It's possible that it's already implemented, but we don't know how.

Now my questions are:
x) Is this project still alive or abandoned?
x) Is someone currently working on the api?
x) If yes, what is being worked on at the moment?
x) Will there be an update in the next time?

Best regards
Frank

No clue, I made some patches for the VIF metrics myself, floating around.

Both as user and developer. Mainly to generate RRD data.

I made VIf metrics and some ISCSI thing to the block-* scripts. Next to
this I made a very tiny implementation in Python so that Xen servers
register theirselves upon boot. A simple db (gdbm) is maintained of MAC
and IP, and this list is polled every minute.

If you have a better idea to for example share a Xenstorage server.. :)

No clue :)
