This project defines a set of interfaces for calling into the AstroGrid Client Runtime (ACR). Some of the interfaces expose internals of the runtime system, while others are used to access remote AstroGrid servers.
The set of interfaces form a Facade infront of the more complex service delegates - this facade is in a single project and is self-contained - there's no dependencies on other AstroGrid libraries or delegates; naming conventions, parameters and exception types are consistent throughout the interface; and all the required documentation is in one place.
These interfaces can be accessed directly by classes running within the ACR; they can be accessed via JavaRMI by external Java code; and can be accessed via XMLRPC from other programming languages.
