[kepler-users] Globus Actors/Toolkit

[Jianwu Wang]

Hi Subhav,

    Most Globus toolkit only supports *inx system with a few exceptions 
(http://www.globus.org/faq.php#windows). So I think usually those globus 
actors, including GridFtp,  only support *inx system.

    BTW, I'm working on a separate module, called globus, in Kepler 1.x. 
One actor in this module, called GlobusWSJob 
(https://code.kepler-project.org/code/kepler/trunk/modules/globus/src/org/kepler/actor/globus/gram/GlobusWSJob.java), 
can submit jobs from windows. The prerequisite is having ws-core, like 
http://www-unix.globus.org/toolkit/survey/index.php?download=ws-core-4.0.7-bin.zip, 
installed at client end.

    Another note for globus actors is that the back capability of Globus 
toolkit is not very good. So users may need to replace jars current used 
in Kepler to interact with globus servers with different versions.

Best wishes

Sincerely yours
