To build a GAR file run:

$ ant buildGAR -Dgt.dir=/PATH/TO/GT \
  [-Ddai.gar=LOCATION-OF-BUILT-GAR] \ Default: build/dai.gar
  [-Ddai.host=HOST]                 \ Default: localhost
  [-Ddai.port=PORT]                 \ Default: 8080
  [-Ddai.webapp=WEBAPP]             \ Default: wsrf
  [-Ddai.dres.service.name=DRES-SERVICE] \ Default: DataRequestExecutionService
  [-Ddai.dris.service.name=DRIS-SERVICE] \ Default: DataResourceInformationService
  [-Ddai.dsos.service.name=DSOS-SERVICE-NAME] \ Default: DataSourceService
  [-Ddai.dsis.service.name=DSIS-SERVICE-NAME] \ Default: DataSinkService
  [-Ddai.sms.service.name-SMS-SERVICE-NAME]   \ Default: SessionManagementService
  [-Ddai.rms.service.name=RMS-SERVICE-NAME]     Default: RequestManagementService

To deploy an OGSA-DAI GT GAR file onto the Globus Toolkit container

$ ant deployGAR -Dgt.dir=/PATH/TO/GT \
  [-Ddai.gar=LOCATION-OF-BUILT-GAR]  \ Default: build/dai.gar
  [-Ddai.host=HOST]                  \ Default: localhost
  [-Ddai.port=PORT]                  \ Default: 8080
  [-Ddai.webapp=WEBAPP]                Default: wsrf

The GAR file will be deployed into Globus Toolkit container. The GAR file prefix (e.g. dai determines the name of the directory where deployment descriptors and other configuration files go in the Globus Toolkit etc directory.

To deploy an OGSA-DAI GT GAR file onto Tomcat

$ ant deployGARTomcat -Dgt.dir=/PATH/TO/GT -Dtomcat.dir=/PATH/TO/TOMCAT \
  [-Ddai.gar=LOCATION-OF-BUILT-GAR] \ Default: build/dai.gar
  [-Ddai.host=HOST]                 \ Default: localhost
  [-Ddai.port=PORT]                 \ Default: 8080
  [-Ddai.webapp=WEBAPP]               Default: wsrf

The GAR file will be deployed into Tomcat. The GAR file prefix (e.g. dai determines the name of the directory where deployment descriptors and other configuration files go in the Globus Toolkit webapp's etc directory.

	Note
	This mode of deployment is not supported by GT. This is our own version. GT recommend deployment into a GT container (e.g. using deployGAR) and then deploying the GT container as a whole into Tomcat using the Globus Toolkit using deployTomcat command.

To build a GAR file and then deploy the GAR file onto the Globus Toolkit container

$ ant buildAndDeployGAR

This command just invokes the buildGAR and deployGAR commands so the command-line options are as for these two commands.

To build a GAR file and then deploy the GAR file into Tomcat

$ ant buildAndDeployGARTomcat

This command just invokes the buildGARTomcat and deployGARTomcat commands so the command-line options are as for these two commands.

To summarize, there are three possible deployment and usage approaches:

The Globus Toolkit deployGAR command can be run as follows (assuming that an environment variable GLOBUS_LOCATION points to the Globus Toolkit distribution).

$ ant -f /PATH/TO/GT/share/globus_wsrf_common/build-packages.xml \
  deployGar -Dgar.name=GAR-NAME.gar

For example:

$ ant -f /PATH/TO/GT/share/globus_wsrf_common/build-packages.xml \
  deployGar -Dgar.name=dai.gar
