Deploying the PhotoSharing Service

So far, we have installed caGrid, presented a scenario, and configured a secure Tomcat container. Now we will deploy the completed PhotoSharing service that was provided in the hackthon.zip. Once the service has been deployed to a container, it can then be invoked and used to fulfill the needs in our scenario.

Deploy the PhotoSharing Service:

Open Introduce:

%> cd c:\hackathon\caGrid 

%> ant introduce

Click the Deploy Service button
Browse to the completed photoSharing service: C:\hackathon\PhotoSharing-solution and click Open
Verify that Tomcat is selected in the deployment location
Verify the container location is C:\hackathon\apache-tomcat-5.5.27

Get Your IP Address

We've just finished developing our service and deploying it to Tomcat. Since our hostnames are not registered in DNS, we need to obtain our machine's IP address so that we or our neighbors can access the service.

To obtain your IP Address:

Open a Windows Command Prompt
Run the following command:
%> ipconfig
Note your IP address

ipconfig

Registering the PhotoSharing Service

Before we can start the PhotoSharing service, we need to register it via our provided gallery viewer.

Register the PhotoSharing Service:

Open a Windows Command Prompt
Change directory to your Hackathon directory
%> cd C:\hackathon
Start the gallery application
%> ant gallery

We'll now need to configure the Image Browser to know about our service
