Hi all,
I am about to commit the JNI implementation of the XrdClientAdmin
functions, but I'd like to understand what you guys think that's
preferable to do.
The JNI impl consists of:
- a new XrdClientAdminJNI.so library (with its sources, of course)
- a java class which wraps this lib.
Question #1: Are we willing to create a new subdir for that? Right now
it is together with all the XrdClient stuff.
Question #2: Java path mangling. At this time I put fixed paths for
the JNI include files in the classic makefile and in the Makefile.am.
But we need to find out the java location in the .configure . Any hints
for doing this will be greatly appreciated, since it will save to me
hours of tweaking.
Question #3: The java class. Generally, do we need to provide it as a
compiled class? In my opinion we could skip and leave the compilation up
to the package that's going to use it. But I have no experience in this,
so I ask.
Happy answering, thank you.
Fabrizio
