I have some questions.

As you know the different servers allow you to do a few hundred
different RPC-calls, is the idea that all of them should be accessible
though the java-API ?

How do you want to do RPC-calls from java ?
Is there a usefull and working package that can do that for you ?

You want to generate the RPC-stubs yourself ? Or you just steal the
stubs from some exsisting AFS-implementation ?
