John, Jarl,
I thought I would respond to a couple of ARSLIST posts on this thread... - Firstly, simply responding on ARSLIST is not sufficient to be counted in the poll - so please do vote at http://developer.bmc.com/jiveProd/forum.jspa?forumID=10 , if you're interested in participating in this poll. - Secondly, if you have other ideas or suggestions on where we should be going in terms of APIs, data representation formats, what (sub)set of functions to be available in API etc - please send them our way in the form of RFEs. By the way ARSWIKI is a great repository, so you may place your requests there too. - Thirdly, even if you love (just as I do) the AR System Java API, please do keep in mind that the question is NOT "whether you want this API or that API". So, if you do not have a use case for using .NET API, that is absolutely fine & feel free to say so with your vote. But if indeed you bump into some use cases where you could use .NET friendly APIs, then your choice can in fact be indicative of that stance. So, stay objective in your participation in the poll about the .NET API availability & official support topic alone. Kindly do not interpret the poll with "Java Vs .NET" mindset or diverge the topic into other subjective discussions.

I think BMC should create a rockin great version of Kinetic Link - and expose everything as XML from the server itself. Then go ahead - chose any language you want. (My preference - Ruby) The APIs only create/read/update/delete anyway. (Not like it does active links etc...) Oh - and they get background server info - but I just see that as read. -John _______________________________________________________________________________ UNSUBSCRIBE or access ARSlist Archives at www.arslist.org ARSlist:"Where the Answers Are"
