Chip,
The downside of using listApis to detect whether an API command is being
exposed is that an error will appear in the log (not on UI)
/client/api?command=listApis&name=listVmwareDcs
{
"listapisresponse": {
"uuidList": [],
"errorcode": 530,
"cserrorcode": 9999,
"errortext": "Api Discovery plugin was unable to find an api by that
name or process any apis"
}
}

Chip,
I just tested listApis and it worked! ^_^
Yes, this is enough and I'll change UI to use listApis to determine whether to
call listVmwareDcs API in zone detail page.
Thanks!

Here's the discovery API ->
http://cloudstack.apache.org/docs/api/apidocs-4.1/root_admin/listApis.html
I think this would be enough for the functionality we're talking about,
right?
