Installing OGSA-DAI

Deploying OGSA-DAI Under Tomcat

  1. Change to the OGSA-DAI directory:
      #> cd <OGSA-DAI>
    
  2. Make a build directory if there is not already one there:
      #> mkdir build
    
  3. Build the installation files by typing the command:
      #> ant deploy
    
    This will copy the necessary files to your Tomcat installation, and edit the files necessary to deploy the services.

Testing the OGSA-DAI installation

Now start up Tomcat:
  #> cd <TOMCAT>/bin
  #> ./startup.sh
