Exposing Data Service Resources via Data Services via the Command-line

To expose data service resources via data services using the command-line:

1. Run the following command from within the OGSA-DAI WSRF binary distribution directory:

   $ ant exposeResource -Ddai.container=/path/to/Web/services/container
     -Ddai.service.name=service/name 
     -Ddai.resource.id=ResourceID
   

   • dai.container specifies the path to your Web services container. Alternatively you can define an OGSADAI_CONTAINER environmental variable to hold this value.
   • dai.service.name specifies the name of the service. For example dai.service.name=ogsadai/DataService specifies a data service whose URL will be http://HOST:PORT/wsrf/services/ogsadai/DataService.
   • dai.resource.id= is the ID of the data service resource that the data service is to expose. This must be the name of a data service resource which you have already deployed as described on the previous page. For example dai.resource.id=MySQLResource.
2. You will need to shutdown and restart your Web services container before clients are able to access the new data service resource via the data service.
3. After restarting your container, you can test whether the new data service resource was successfully exposed using the ListResourcesClient client.
