Hi Marios, Hi Dario
yes, indeed, I implemented this client until 2011 when we had the
Eclipse tooling in JBoss Tools. Unfortunately I then had to switch over
to some other project and no time left to maintain the code.
I also had no chance to check anything with deltacloud since then. I
really can't tell you if it's still 100% functional against latest DC
server. There is a large test-suite with integration tests that should
tell you fairly quickly though:
https://github.com/apache/deltacloud/blob/master/clients/java/org.apache.deltacloud.client.test/src/org/apache/deltacloud/client/internal/test/DeltaCloudClientIntegrationTestSuite.java
Feel free to ping me if you face any problems, questions. I'd be glad to
help if I can.
Cheers
André

Hi,
I'm Dario Garcia, a researcher from the Technical University of
Catalonia (UPC). In a research project we are developing together with
other partners we are using deltacloud to manage connections to various
IaaS providers. For this we require a java REST client which can
automate the requests to deltacloud.
awesome - is there any more info on the project (e.g. do you have a
website somewhere?)?
I've been looking for Java REST clients, and there is not a single
library which seems to be particularly appropriate. I also noticed that
there's a client developed within the deltacloud project:
https://github.com/apache/deltacloud/tree/master/clients/java
I've already downloaded this client and I'm currently testing it.
However, any information and help I could get about it would be most useful.
My question mainly is, what is the state of this client? Which
functionalities work in the latest version?
wrt to the 'state' - I believe the last anyone worked on this client is
close to 2 years ago (that brave soul was Andre Dietisheim - I cc him
here for any input/pointers he could give if he has the time these days).
So I'm not quite sure what does/doesn't work there. My suggestion for
now is to try it out. For those things that aren't working, file jira
tickets [1] so they can be addressed. Even better, if you are able to
implement the fixes yourself, we will be very happy to help you on your
way (here/irc) ;) - on anything ranging from 'how to make patches' [2]
to 'the layout of the deltacloud code' etc

If I can get to use this client I could provide bugs reports and usage
examples.
Thanks in advance,
Dario.
