Community Activity: Building
a Java Service Using The Globus Toolkit v.4
Thursday, 06-October 11:00a – 3:30p
Charles Bacon and Lisa Childers,
The Globus Alliance
Slides
Target Audience:
Developers
Abstract:
This half-day tutorial is designed to teach developers how to build
a Java Service using the Globus Toolkit (GT4). The Globus Toolkit
is the flagship product of the Globus Alliance, which produces open
source middleware used in building grids around the world.
The tutorial is organized as a series of exercises
in which increasing functionality is added to a skeletal service
implementation. Fundamental patterns and interactions of Grid computing
are highlighted. The course is geared toward developers who want
to learn about the newest work of the Globus Alliance and how to
apply fundamental concepts in Grid computing.
This course is a compressed version of our standard,
full-day, hands-on tutorial. Attendees are invited to follow along
with the exercises on the laptops, though tech support will be very
limited due to the amount of material to be covered.
Tutorial participants who wish to follow along with the exercises
must bring network enabled laptops pre-loaded with a small set of
open-source software. Attendees must be able to run all the software
listed in the prerequisites in order to participate in the hands
on exercises.
Tutorial Prerequisites:
• Basic knowledge of Web Services and Grid computing
• Knowledge of java, XML and WSDL
Laptop configuration:
• jakarta ant 1.5 or 1.6
• jdk 1.4.2
• 802.11b wireless capability required
• VMware emulation not supported
• Cygwin is not supported
• Firewall software must be disabled
• Windows ME/95/98 is not supported. Regarding other OSes:
if you can run the jdk and ant you should be ok
• A GT-specific distribution: [to be made available the day
of the tutorial]
• A software bundle containing tutorial-specific course material:
[to be made available the day of the tutorial]
Given the large amount of material to be covered
it is _essential_ to the success of the tutorial that the attendees
install the prerequisite software listed on
http://www.globus.org/toolkit/tutorials/BAS/Boston/
prior to the tutorial. Please debug your ant and jdk installations
prior to the tutorial by building the sample Linux or MS Windows
code provided at the bottom of the page:
http://www.globus.org/toolkit/tutorials/BAS/Boston/
Optional:
An editor that highlights Java and XML files, such as JEdit. You
also may find that Adobe Reader will come in handy.
Note! It is the attendees\' responsibility to insure that their
networking, ant and jdk are configured and working properly prior
to the tutorial. The integrity of ant/jdk installations can be verified
by building this sample code: Linux version or MS Windows version.
