While we're working towards the "pure" Java API implementation, 7.1 is not quite there (since we relied on few native modules such as qualification parsing, rpc level version mapping logic etc). In all likelihood the next version should indeed be a pure Java implementation with no native code dependencies. If waiting for the upcoming release(s) isn't feasible for the user, the alternatives you guys suggested are some of the ways to mitigate. If the integration is only entry operations oriented, then web services (your item.1) is probably I would suggest. However if the integration is more intricate with custom logic, data manipulations etc and/or is not limited to entries alone but includes metadata as well -- then your alternative 2 (an intermediate box for hosting AR API logic) is the way to go.

Alan, I see three choices... 1) Web Services ARS has a way to expose an ARS application as a web service and to consume web services. There are limitations, but they may not affect your project. (depending on the project.) 2) SSH (or otherwise) deliver the request to an intermediate box that is a supported platform to run command line integrations that you could write on the existing APIs. 3) Wait for v7.1 to be released in Aug. They claim to have a fully native Java API. So if that is true, then it should (note future looking statement) work on any platform that has a Java Run Time environment. So I would assume that Solaris on x86 should be covered then.
