Basically what i want is ,I want to create a html page which asks for vcenter server IP and credentials ,once user enters this,i want to install my plugin in that vcenter.

Can you help me as to how to do this?I want to know how to proceed

Hi Srini,

Can you give more details? Do you need this for development or test purpose? Or you need it in production?

Hi Srini,

The class VimServiceLocator is located in vim.jar that is not included in the Web Client SDK.

I would recommend to start from here: VMware vSphere Web Services SDK Documentation

The README mentions that jar file: VMware Infrastructure (VI) SDK Readme

I have downloaded the vSphere SDK (vSphere Management SDK for vSphere 6.0 - VMware Developer Center) but only vim25.jar is present there. It is also not presented in the previous versions of the vSphere SDK...

I found vim.jar here: http://www.java2s.com/Code/Jar/v/Downloadvimjar.htm

Bug since it doesn't come from the VMware official web site, I cannot guarantee about it. But you can give it a try at your own risk

vim.jar belongs to very old version of the vSphere SDK. The sample program that is given in the tech note is also outdated.

You can find the up-do-date instructions here: vSphere 6.0 Documentation Center
