[j-nsp] JunOScript in Java?

[Joe Lin]

Its pretty good.  My company uses it exclusively to 
configure juniper routers.

Junoscript contains a subset of the "show command" 
equivilent, that can be either a blessing or a curse 
depending on what you are doing.  parsing tags is a 
lot easier than parsing non-xml'ed cli.  

For configuration purposes, it rocks the house, 
especially if you have to deal with other vendors cli.
You can not assume that JunoScript adheres to XML 
100%...

Takes a little learning curve to figure out building 
tags programmtically..  

Debugging can be a pain because a lot of improperly 
build tags will return "syntax error".   but after a 
while you get good at spotting bad tag building.

any junos command and pipe it to "display xml" is my 
favorite friend.

configuration locking, depends what you want to do, 
it could be good, it could be bad.

junoscript overall will handle value validation when 
you try to "commit" bad values.  

What type of error handling do you seek?

Our stuff is mostly java, but i dont see what java 
has to do with this.  you can build tag in anything.
