10 Jan 2006 Building a grid is a complex process, but it can be made much easier by building your grid based on accepted standards and platforms that make the development and deployment of the grid much easier. Using standard Web services enables you to take advantage of technology like security, reliable messaging and monitoring services. By using these standards, you also gain compatibility with other grids, and you get improved compatibility with other platforms. In this tutorial
In this six-part tutorial series, we'll develop -- from the ground up -- a grid-based movie application, using OASIS Web services standards to implement the different components of the system, which together provide the entire structure of the grid application. The application is a combination of resource and CPU grid technology for the distributed storage and recovery of movie files in a database. In this first part of the six-part series, you are going to look at an overview of the application, how it will work, and why using OASIS agreed Web services will make the development, deployment and expansion of the system easier. Primarily we will cover the grid environment, how it relates to Web services, and where and how in the grid system Web services can be employed.
Prerequisites
See System Requirements below.
System requirements
You do not need any special software. However, for the rest of the
series, you will be expected to know the basics of grid technology and the
Java™ programming language (including a suitable environment,
such as that from Sun Microsystems).
