VMWare VSphere Virtual Machine Check Status Version 1

This handler is designed to check the status of a virtual machine task on a VMWare VSphere server that matches the given task id. It logs in to the VSphere server using the server's administrative URL, user ID and password that are set as info_value records for the task. Once logged in, a Managed Reference Object is created based on the task id so that the Task Object can be re-created. Once that is created, the Task object is traversed to retrieve and return the state and message for the task. This handler uses the VMWare VI (vSphere) Java API (see http://vijava.sourceforge.net/ for more information). The api is deployed as a Java archive file (jar) and is stored in this handler's vendor directory. If the vijava jar file is stored somewhere else on the classpath, the jar file stored in this handler's vendor directory is not used. It is recommended that there are no vijava jar files stored anywhere on the classpath, and that all VMWare VSphere handlers contain the same vijava jar file in their vendor directory.
