[seek-dev] Howto for deploying ogsa web service.

[Peter McCartney]

Hi kevin. Im afraid i cant be much help, but Ive recently hired Yin Ding to 
build a similar set up for our Xanthoria metadata catalog. Im cc'ing him and 
Jing in the hope that the three of you can link up. We have an ecogrid 
compliant version, but are as yet totally lacking the Globus toolkit support.
