Experiences in configuring webmds

Configure webmds:

root@cognito:/usr/local# tar xzf apache-tomcat-5.5.17.tar.gz
root@cognito:/usr/local# chown -R globus:globus apache-tomcat-5.5.17

globus@cognito:~$  vim $GLOBUS_LOCATION/lib/webmds/conf/indexinfo
globus@cognito:~$grep choate /usr/local/globus-4.0.3/lib/webmds/conf/indexinfo
<Value> https://dengtao.hust.edu.cn: 8443/WSRF/services/defaultindexservice </value>
globus@cognito:~$  export CATALINA_HOME=/usr/local/apache-tomcat-5.5.17
globus@cognito:~$$GLOBUS_LOCATION/lib/webmds/bin/webmds-create-context-file /
$CATALINA_HOME/conf/Catalina/localhost
globus@cognito:~$ $CATALINA_HOME/bin/startup.sh
Using catalina_base:/usr/local/Apache-Tomcat-5.5.17 using catalina_home:/usr/local/Apache-Tomcat-5.5.17 using catalina_tmpdir: /usr/local/Apache-Tomcat-5.5.17/temp
Using java_home:/usr/Java/jdk1.5.0 _ 04/

If you follow the above configuration, you may see Java when browsing a list of resource registered to default Index Service in http: // localhost: 8080/webmds. lang. noclassnotfounderror: ORG/apahce/xalan .... exception. Set $ globus_location/edorsed/xalan. copy the JAR file to $ catalina_home/common/lib, which may solve the problem.
