There are a lot of SMB devices in the world.
Some of them only work with the old jcifs library.
If you want to support many SMB devices, CodeLibs jcifs library will be helpful.
For example, since [Fess](https://github.com/codelibs/fess) needs to support many SMB devices, it uses this library.

    /**
     * @return the type of the pipe
     */
    int getPipeType ();


    /**
     * Create a pipe handle
     * 
     * @return pipe handle, needs to be closed when finished
     */
    SmbPipeHandle openPipe ();

        writeInt8( 0L, dst, dstIndex ); dstIndex += 8;
        writeTime( lastWriteTime, dst, dstIndex ); dstIndex += 8;
        writeInt8( 0L, dst, dstIndex ); dstIndex += 8;
/* Samba 2.2.7 needs ATTR_NORMAL
 */
        writeInt2( 0x80 | attributes, dst, dstIndex ); dstIndex += 2; 
                                        /* 6 zeros observed with NT */
        writeInt8( 0L, dst, dstIndex ); dstIndex += 6;

 * 
 * We strongly suggest that you create an explicit {@link jcifs.context.CIFSContextWrapper}
 * with your desired config. It's base implementation {@link jcifs.context.BaseContext}
 * should be sufficient for most needs.
 * 
 * If you want to retain the classic singleton behavior you can use
 * {@link jcifs.context.SingletonContext#getInstance()}
 * witch is initialized using system properties.
