[OpenAFS-devel] Java JNI access to Venus, Vlserver and Volserver ??

[Jim Doyle]

Has anyone done anything w.r.t. writing Java JNI accessors to
native AFS APIs ?

Is it even possible to do this, given the fact that LWPs and
Java Threads (pthreads) in the same address space may conflict ?

It seems that a whole world of novel things could be done once
one had Java objects to cover these APIs. Further, the code base
could likely be shared with whatever exists of the DFS community and
what continues to exist with the Coda community -- at least with Venus,
since all three share the same style of interface.

I grow weary of writing Shell and Perl crud to automate AFS trivia..
