FCL--FOSS Check List 0. Introduction 0.1 Document History Version Author Changes Date 0.1 Bharath Kumar Initial Draft 01/14/2009 0.2 Purpose This checklist is to aid in the FastTrack ARC review process for the integration of SBLIMCIMClient Java project into OpenSolaris 1.0 Project Information 1.1 Name of project/component SBLIMCIMClient 1.2 Author of document Bharath Kumar Madakatte 2.0 Project Summary 2.1 Project Description SBLIM is an acronym for Standards Based Linux Instrumentation for Manageability. The goal of this project is to provide a complete Open Source implementation of a WBEM-based management solution for Linux. The SBLIM CIM Client for Java is an implementation of a WBEM services client that includes an IETF RFC 2614 compliant SLP client for CIM service discovery. It is intended to be used by management applications in all areas that leverage CIM technology such as SMI-S, SMASH, etc.The design of the SBLIM Client has put emphasis on low memory consumption and high performance. It offers different options to use the implemented XML parser (SAX, DOM, Pull). Furthermore, a comfortable way to debug interoperability issues by dumping the XML request and response to a log file is provided. 2.2 Release binding What is is the release binding?

Typically these interfaces can not be imported by other projects. Uncommitted* interfaces that are still evolving but will most likely be present from release to release.
