[Xen-API] Problem starting a Windows Guest with Java bindings

[Matthew Donovan <matthew@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I got the Java bindings for the enterprise version and have been trying to
start a Windows guest (HVM) with them.  The code compiles and runs and the
output of "xm list" shows the new VM.  However, the VM does not appear to
run.  It shows no time in the "xm list" output and I don't get a window
showing it booting.  To get rid of it, I have to do "xm destroy" and "xm
delete" commands.  I've been trying to put it all together using examples
from different languages starting linux guests and so far I haven't found
the right incantation.

Can someone point out what I'm doing wrong? 
 
Thanks a lot!

        unfortunately i don't.
        

        what i did for sure was changing some constants to lowercase:

        Types.java

        public class Types{

        ...

        public enum OnNormalExit{

        //everyting to lowercase here

        }

                public enum OnCrashBehaviour{

        // lowercase

        }

        ...

        }

        it is likely that other enums have to be modified as well (these
were enough for my purposes)

        cheers, m

                Do you have documented the differences you had to make
changes for?
                
                

                Thanks,

                hey,
                http://community.citrix.com/display/cdn/XenServer+SDK here
are the bindings. they're for enterprise version, but by applying slight
modifications I was able to use them with open source xen.

                        I've found numerous references to some XenAPI Java
Bindings but the link
        
(http://www.cl.cam.ac.uk/~tw275/java-binding-source.tar.gz
<http://www.cl.cam.ac.uk/%7Etw275/java-binding-source.tar.gz> ) seems to be
                        dead.
                        
                        Is there an updated link?  Is the code just gone?
                        
                        Thanks
