Hi everyone, I am developing a Java wrapper (which I have named "JNetFilter") for the iptables (libiptc) API. This Java wrapper presents an object-oriented view of the chains and rules. The intention of this Java wrapper library is to make it easy to write firewall configuration and management applications, using technologies that are supported by Java libraries (such as HTTPS and Servlets).
The source code is still in progress but initial documentation and screenshots are available at: http://www.pitman.co.za/projects/jnetfilter/ The JNetFilter library is (will be) open-source. Regards Rob Pitman
