The Southampton team would like to notify the MyGrid developers about pre-lease of the views service client-side API. It is currently contained in a single jar-file deployed on twiki. The jar file will act as a full service directory to the client, without persistence, distribution or concurrency support. The javadoc specify the API we are currently supporting. Please be aware of the following: 1. This is still a pre-lease, there will be changes. 2. Only use the API visible from javadoc. The rest is experimental. 3. The package provides a single class uk.ac.soton.ecs.views.client.ViewProxy which provides a client side proxy to the service directory 4. Currently none of the methods are throwing exception. The exact methods to raised will be specified once we have integrated the transport layer. 5. There is no support yet for authentication and access control
