11 Sep 2007 In this five-part "Building
a grid system using WS-Resource Transfer" series, we look at the use
of WS-Resource Transfer (WS-RT) in different areas of the grid environment --
from using it as a method for storing and recovering general information about
grid-to-grid monitoring and management, and security. We will also examine how WS-RT can
be used for the distribution and division of work. In any grid, there is a huge
amount of metadata about the grid that needs
to be stored and distributed. Using WS-RT makes sharing the information, especially
the precise information required by different systems in the grid, significantly
easier. Here in Part 2, examine how this information can be shared, how to
integrate a WS-RT interface with a database solution, and how to employ WS-RT
to support key operations of the grid, such as in node
registration. In this tutorial
In any grid, there is a huge amount of metadata about the grid that needs to be stored
and distributed. Using WS-RT makes sharing the information, especially the precise
information required by different systems in the grid, significantly easier. In this
tutorial, Part 2 of the series, we look at how to store the grid information and how
that relates to the structures we'll need for WS-RT. We also look at the mechanics of
the Apache Muse solution and at the WSDL we need to write to support a WS-RT
application. And finally, we use the basic methods of WS-RT for registration of nodes into the grid.
