Hi,
I have some code that can probably be hacked into a libvirt driver for
VMware ESX.
Is there a template with stubs for all the necessary routines for the API
that I can use
as a starting point?

This shoulds cool :) I'm happy you will start this before I have to do
it :) What approach will you take? Soap?

I would take one of the existing drivers... but maybe there is a better way.

interesting, how did you go? I did some experimentation using SOAP and
gsoap2 a few weeks ago that i need to restart. Did you use VIX instead ?

I would suggest to start from the test driver (libvirt/src/test.c),
the driver consists of a set of entry points (see at the bottom
static virDriver testDriver), with a few predefined headers. The
entry points at the driver level nearly match the ones from the public
API.

I read about VIX again, but is this already working for ESX? On their site
and fora they mention Workstatation/Server only.

According to http://communities.vmware.com/thread/115071 the VIX API
will be supported in ESX in the future.
