Hi, Miroslav.

Is ca the successor to JCAE:

  https://github.com/paulscherrerinstitute/jcae

Both are developed at PSI, no?

Are both used in production?  Are both supported?  What does the future
of JCAE look like?

One thing I note is that it appears that JCAE has a client *and* a
server implementation, while ca has just a client.  Is that right?

Are there plans to add a server implementation to ca?

Would JCAE still be a sound choice for a new project that needed a
client *and* a server implementation, or even a sound choice for a
project that needed just a server implementation?  Or would it be better
to avoid it because it's being phased out, instead going with ca for the
client and CAJ (even though dated) for the server?

Thanks!

Lewis
