On a related note, one of the things I'm doing out here is embrace and
extend the JNI and SOAP wrappers for Starlink Classic, and insert SOAP
messaging into ORAC-DR, which will initally co-exist and eventually
replace ADAM mesaging for the pipeline.
As a testbed for this we're thinking about replacing CATSELECT inside
ORAC-DR with a pure Java application with the same SOAP top level as
the JNI wrapped classic application. Since this is the only CURSA
applicaiton in ORAC-DR we can remove it as a dependancy.
Mark, it's pretty obvious that most (all?) of the CATSELECT functionality
is present in your tables stuff, but is it in STIL or TOPCAT?
See http://www.starlink.rl.ac.uk/star/docs/sun190.htx/node50.html for
a brief description of CATSELECT if you're not familiar with it.

Dave, what is my priority here? Should I be doing the SOAP/ORAC-DR stuff
or concentrating on finishing FROG? Might be hard to complete both in you
want both ready by NAM. Should I actually be ignoring both of these and
concentrate of trying to get PHOTOM and the rest of my classic apps into
shape to be put into CVS?
