Mark,
There is source code available for JNI adapters. You can download it from
there web site. At this point it seems that Qlogic is still the adapter
of choice. It is supported both from Qlogic as well as Chris Loveland.
We use the 2XXX adapters which support both fabric and loops successfully
although not perfectly. As far as drives and enclosures look for an
e-mail from Erling Nyguard, he is quite knowlegeable in this area.
