Hi all,

I'm running the Symantec Management Console version 7.1 right now, and am trying to create my own programs to interface with it using Java.  According to the ASDK helpfile, a web service can be made with Java (but it uses C# for the examples and everything).  That's fine, and I start searching for some Java libraries so I can get started.  Nothing that I can find installed with the ASDK.  Went back to the helpfile, and I found out that the only time the word "Java" is ever used is to say that the ASDK supports it.  Right...

I've also done plenty of searching, and I'm lucky to find any pages that refer to Altiris components that require Java, let alone anything about finding Java libraries or using Java with the ASDK.  I'll admit that I'm a little new to the Altiris platform, but can someone please help me out here?

Thanks,

Brian

The ASDK web sites use SOAP technology. They are essentially a language neutral web site. You need to use your Java tools that query the web site to generate the proxy class files. Then you should be able to use those with your Java programming tools. We don't include any Java libraries. The C# libraries are created with the Visual Studio toolsl that query the web sites and generate the proxy classes. Your Java tools should be able to do the same thing. Since I'm no expert at Java I don't know what those tools are.

I am sorry but we don't provide any Java examples.
