[seek-dev] current status of OGSA-DAI installation

[Bing Zhu]

Hello SEEK developers,

Here is a summary of the current status of OGSA-DAI software installation in
EcoGrid.

Bing Zhu (SDSC) and Jing Tao (UCSB) have been working on the installation of
OGSA-DAI in
the machine dev.nceas.ucsb.edu, which has already had almost all required
software
for running OGSA-DAI as following.
  Java
  Tomcat  (web services container)
  GT3     (OGSA services)
  Apache Axis (messaging)
  ANT (build tool)
  JUnit (unit testing)

1. Deploying OGSA under Tomcat.
   Although GT3 beta have been installed in the dev.nceas.ucsb.edu. The OGSA
has not
   been configured and deployed under Tomcat. To do so, we ran the following
commands.

   $ cd /usr/local/devtools/gt3-beta
   $ ant -Dtomcat.dir=/usr/local/devtools/jakarta-tomcat deployTomcat

   This command copies some OGSA libraries files into Tomcat common lib
area,
   creates sub-directory, schema, under
/usr/local/devtools/jakarta-tomcat/webapps/ROOT,
   and creates a subdirectory, ogsa, under
/usr/local/devtools/jakarta-tomcat/webapps.

   Since Tomcat home was set under /opt/tomcat in dev.nceas.ucsb.edu. We had
to create two
   links in /opt/tomcat/webapps.
     /opt/tomcat/webapps/ogsa ->
/usr/local/devtools/jakarta-tomcat/webapps/ogsa
     /opt/tomcat/webapps/ROOT/schema ->
/usr/local/devtools/jakarta-tomcat/webapps/ROOT/schema

   After re-starting the Tomcat, the OGSA service info can be viewed with
the following URL.
      http://dev.nceas.ucsb.edu/ogsa
      http://dev.nceas.ucsb.edu/ogsa/services

   (We noticed that current only the AdminService is available. Most of
sample services are not available.
    We will continue to work on the configuration of OGSA and probably have
to review
    the original installation of OGSA.)

2. Downloading libraries for OGSA-DAI.
   The following libraries are needed for running OGSA-DAI and have been
   downloaded into OGSA-DAI lib directory.
