GetProperty Client

To get the properties of a data service resource exposed by a data service:

Ensure that your Web services container is running.
Run the following command from within the OGSA-DAI WSRF binary distribution directory:
```
$ ant getPropertyClient -Ddai.url=SERVICE-URL
      -Ddai.resource.id=RESOURCE-ID
      -Ddai.property={PROPERTY-NAMESPACE}PROPERTY-LOCAL-NAME
```
- dai.url specifies the URL of the data service. If omitted then a default URL of http://localhost:8080/wsrf/services/ogsadai/DataService is used.
- dai.resource.id specifies the data service resource at which the request is targeted.
- dai.property specifies the property name. Available properties are listed on the data service resources page.
For example:
```
$ ant getPropertyClient 
 -Ddai.url=http://localhost:8080/wsrf/services/ogsadai/MyDataService
 -Ddai.resource.id=MySQLResource
 -Ddai.property={http://ogsadai.org.uk/namespaces/2005/10/properties}productInfo
```

The the property of the data service resource will be returned to the client. For example:
