Hi Peter,

My ROOT installation is the simply the standard v4.02.00 win32gdk tarball directly from the ROOT site. I haven't made any customizations, so maybe this is a ROOT problem as you suggest?

This is a Java xrootd client written by Tony. It supports a small subset of xrootd commands (dirList, login, ping, stat, open, read and close) - just enough so that we could read histograms and trees for GLAST. We plan on making much more extensive use of xrootd in the future, and Tony and I have talked about wanting to move to Alvise Dorigo's Java xrootd client, but neither of us has looked into Alvise's code in enough detail to know how to proceed yet.

-Matt

   I don't have any experience with using the TXNetFile client on Windows.
There were some outstanding issues, but I don't recall if they've been dealt
with yet. Maybe Gerri or Fabrizio can comment.

  One thing that is clear above is that you are not getting the right client
from the root plugin manager (i.e. you got the old TNetFile instead of the
new TXNetFile). We should probably figure out why that is happening first.
>From etc/system.rootrc I would expect "root://" to default to TXNetFile
for all platforms. I don't see any platform ifdef's there, so something else
must be going wrong.

  I guess the java client is the one that Tony has mentioned in his CHEP
talk?

What does the "matching protocol not found" mean in the xrootd log file? What protocol is it talking about - perhaps an authentication protocol that I need to configure?
