Wow, this is just awesome! How many jars are needed to run a version 7.1 java program? I suspect tons of them :-)

Sure you can. In fact in the 7.1 Java API, we have implemented the necessary rpc version mapping infrastructure as well, but it is validated for 7.0/7.0.1 only. What that means is -- the client program runs the pure Java code in issuing AR API's underlying RPC calls when interacting with servers of version 7.0 or greater. However if the client is interacting with older servers (say 6.3 or even older), then the Java API silently falls back to delegating the calls to underlying JNI code, which in turn calls C API which has rich implementation of RPC version mapping. All of this happens transparently to client program any ways, so in essence, the Java API clients of 7.1 version can indeed talk to same or older or newer versions of Server as were before. Only thing is that for legacy server interactions, the Java API relies on its legacy infrastructure (JNI/C API combo) in 7.1 release. In future, as indicated in previous email note, this will change (i.e. improve RPC version mapping layer within Java API) so that this native dependency is also eliminated. Hope this helps.
