SCSI Pass Through JNI helper overview

SCSI Pass Through JNI (SPT JNI) software package provides the SCSI Pass Through (SPT) programmatic interface for Java applications on the Windows 2000/XP/2003 operating system platforms.

The package allows Java application to enumerate SCSI host bus adapters and SCSI devices, and to execute SCSI commands for the SCSI devices. Programmatic interface of the package is simple and introduces no limitation on the CDB and data structure. The maximum size of CDB is 16 bytes. The maxiumum size of data is limited by the maximum transfer length parameter of the SCSI host bus adapter and depends on the host bus adapter model and type. The package gives the Java application all the advantages of handling the SCSI devices at relatively low system level. The package does not depend on the type of host bus adapter and handles all types of adapters (SCSI, Fibre Channel, iSCSI, etc) in the same unified way. The package relatively compact and requires minimum of disk space and memory.

The Java source code of the package was developed using J2SDK version 1.4.1_01.

More information on the Java programming language can be found on the Java Technology site.
