Hi all, I'm Alejandro Berna from i2CAT (a non-profit foundation in Barcelona, Spain, www.i2cat.net). I'm collaborating in a Europena project called Federica ( www.fp7-*federica*.eu ). One of the branch of this project is to permit virtualization of different hosts in the Federica test-bed. We are doing some studies about the different management interfaces of Xen. Our objective is to create a software remote client for Xen tool (in java if it's possible) that can do (general functionalities): - Create virtual machines assigning virtual interfaces. - Permit choose the OS assigned to this virtual machine - Install new applications to be tested in the virtual machines - Configure a vm to become a router and permit to configure this router as it was a physical router.
All these actions have to be performed remotelly. I have not found too much information about libvrt but I think that can be usefull for our achieves. If you agree that with libvrt we can perform these actions, maybe I can build the java bindings for libvrt inside the Federica work. I'm waiting for your opinions, thank you,
I saw your post to the Xen-API list, don't be desesperate we have a simpler alternative, I was just waiting for you to show up here :-)
You're in luck - we already have people working on Java bindings for libvirt & anyone else who has time is more than welcome to contribute code to improve the Java bindings. There is more information in this mail:

We also have full authenticated, encrypted remote access to all our APIs. Information on this can be found here:
I'm in the middle of preparing a 0.2.0 libvirt-java release with the cleanup of the API. That versions should be ready for consumption, and I will push it for example for Fedora-9 . Give me just 2 more hours, it should show up at ftp://libvirt.org/libvirt/java/ Daniel -- Red Hat Virtualization group http://redhat.com/virtualization/ Daniel Veillard | virtualization library http://libvirt.org/ veillard@redhat.com | libxml GNOME XML XSLT toolkit http://xmlsoft.org/ http://veillard.com/ | Rpmfind RPM search engine http://rpmfind.net/
