This page lists the products required to use OGSA-DAI. Other required products which are bundled within OGSA-DAI releases are listed in Appendix F, Bundled products.
To use OGSA-DAI GT 4.0.5, source or binary distributions, you will need the Globus Toolkit Web Services Core 4.0.5. This can be downloaded from http://www.globus.org/toolkit/downloads.
![[Note]](images/note.gif) | Note |
|---|---|
| You should be able to compile OGSA-DAI GT source distributions against earlier versions of GT 4.0.x but note that the Globus Toolkit JARs bundled in these source distributions will be different. |
| Note |
|---|---|
| OGSA-DAI is not currently compliant with Globus Toolkit 4.1.x development releases. This is due to security APIs being different between GT4.0.* and 4.1.*. When GT 4.2 is released OGSA-DAI will release a GT 4.2 compliant presentation layer with support for security as provided by GT 4.2. |
OGSA-DAI GT can also be used with Jakarta Tomcat 5.0 but it is not a requirement.
Tomcat 5.0 can be downloaded from http://tomcat.apache.org/download-55.cgi#5.0.28.
| Note |
|---|---|
OGSA-DAI GT has only been tested with Tomcat 5.0. |
Apache ANT is used as the OGSA-DAI build, installation and deployment tool. We recommend ANT 1.6 or above, see http://ant.apache.org.
OGSA-DAI requires Java 1.4 or 1.5.
![[Warning]](images/warning.gif) | Warning |
|---|---|
OGSA-DAI 3.0 does not compile under Java 1.6. This is due
to changes in java.sql APIs (in which
both additional methods and classes have been added) from earlier
versions of Java. The OGSA-DAI team may release a Java 1.6 patch
in the near future.

You will also need database drivers suitable for any data resources you wish to use with OGSA-DAI. The drivers required depend on the specific data resource being used. Data resources against which OGSA-DAI has been tested are listed in Chapter 3, Data resource products.
