#jSCSI - A Java iSCSI Framework

jSCSI is a feature-complete iSCSI implementation in Java only. Platform-independent and fast, jSCSI represents a premium example how low-level protocols can be pushed to higher levels. jSCSI contains a server (target), a client (initiator) and common classes to work with the protocol.

##Using jSCSI

• Get the latest jar over Github or Maven

• Use the target and/or the initiator-interfaces in your project

Note that the target is capable to run on its own while the initiator can only be utilized as library. To run the target, please execute:

mvn SCHEMA.xsd CONFIG.xml

The schema and an example config are accessible as download as well and included under bundles/target/src/main/resources .

For further documentation and as an example, please refer to the examples in the initiator- and target-module.
