Using virtualbox API/Webservice

Post by CIvandal »

Attention virtualboxees,
I have been running through the SDK document for virtual box and have been trying to find ways of using the Webservice in virtual box to process commands (create VM, delete VM...etc).

If someone could explain how i can create a form with tabs that executes the classes/methods in the API. Bascially i am wanting to create a simple virtualbox interface of my own.

I have been trying to use JAX-WS, then tried using PYTHON.

I AM IN DESPERATE NEED OF HELP. PLEASE GIVE IDEAS

Never mind, found a way to do it. Simply calling object oriented methods (set and get) from my Java application. Got my front-end working with MOST of the functionalities as the VirtualBox GUI. Just going to convert my application into a web application so that it can be accessed through web browsers. I presume there have been multiple attempts to experiment VBox with web browsers, the SDK helps a lot if you know how to use it properly.
