Exposing Data Service Resources via Data Services via a GUI

To expose data service resources via data services via a GUI:

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

   $ ant guiExposeResource
   

2. A GUI will appear and you can select your Web services container by pressing the Select... button.
3. When you are happy with the Path press Next.
4. Now you will be asked to enter:
   • The name of the data service, for example ogsadai/DataService, in the Service Name field.
   • The ID of the data service resource, for example MyRelationalResource in the Data Service Resource ID field.
5. Press Next when you have entered this information.
6. You will now be requested to press Next so that the tool can instruct the data service to expose the data service resource.
   • If any problems occur then the tool will notify you of these.
7. When the operation has completed a completion window will be displayed. Press Finish to exit the tool.
8. 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.
9. After restarting your container, you can test whether the new data service resource was successfully exposed using the ListResourcesClient client.
