In some configurations where the application runs in the same
machine a ngds could be faster because it would avoid the network
layer.

I think that it is urgent to release the interfaces of GDS to allow
three working directions (JDBC, JGDS and NGDS) to start as soon as
possible. So, in two or three days I will release the interfaces
only, without any functionality yet. The code will contain a proper
encapsulation of some GDS structures such as handles that have to
be managed in a different fashion in JGDS and NGDS.

But, I have most of the line protocol like XDR stuff finished. And
I will release this code in a second stage as soon as it matures a
bit.

I agree. I like all this structure.

Sorry, I can't help here. I never worked with junit.
The possibility you choose will be ok.


Thanks.
