public class Client

extends java.lang.Object

A simple client for OGSA-DAI data services and configurable data services.

The client has the following syntax:

java uk.org.ogsadai.client.Client

    -u DATA-SERVICE-URI

    [-k DATA-SERVICE-RESOURCE-ID ACTION]

    [-mls CLIENT_SECURITY_DESCRIPTOR]

    [-tls [encrypt]]

where action is one of:

• PERFORM-DOCUMENT-FILE - location of Perform document to submit to data service resource exposed by data service.
• deploy - for use by service deployers, this action is compatible with configurable data services. It instructs a data service to expose a new data service resource with the given data service resource ID. The data service resource configuration files are assumed to be located within a directory dai.config.files.root/DATA-SERVICE-RESOURCE-ID where dai.config.files.root is the value of this parameter within the data service's deployment descriptor.
• updeploy - for use by service deployers, this action is compatible with configurable data services. It instructs a data service to no longet expose a data service resource.
• getProperty PROPERTY-NAME[_PROPERTY-NAME] - name of a property whose value is to be retrieved from a data service resource and displayed.

If no data service resource ID is provided then the service version and a list of the data service resources it exposes are displayed.

The -mls argument specifies that message level security should be used and the CLIENT_SECURITY_DESCRIPTOR value specifies the name of the Globus client security descriptor to use. This option will only work with WSRF services.

The -tls flag specifies that transport level security should be used. To use transport level security you must specify the https protocol in the DATA-SERVICE-URI. By default transport level security will provide data integrity to also encrypt the data you include encrypt after the -tls argument. Transport level security will only work with WSRF services.
