Hi Shankar,
On Diamond Beamlines our primary EPICS client is GDA, which uses the CAJ pure Java CA client. However, if I understand you correctly, they
·
probably don’t monitor PV’s with DBE_PROPERTY through a CA gateway.
·
they don’t use CA Access Security
I am not sure about the issue with EPICS_CA_MAX_ARRAY_BYTES, but they do get and monitor large arrays.
Cheers,

Just wanting to check if anyone uses CAJ (pure Java CA client) clients in production especially in combination with IOC's that are using the native CA library.
I've pinged a few folks offline; however, it was thought that a community wide repoll would probably be beneficial.
Known issues that I am already aware of (thanks Michael and Eric)
1) Interoperability issue with the CA Gateway and clients using monitors with DBE_PROPERTY.
2) For CA Access Security, CAJ uses full hostnames (with domain) and libca uses short host names (without domain)
3) The issue with EPICS_CA_MAX_ARRAY_BYTES has already been fixed.
Has anyone encountered any issues/differences on the IOC side?
Regards,
Murali
