Hi Amila,

When you were upgrading JGlobus to 2.0.6, did you run into issues with XSUL 
dependencies?  In other words, there were quite a few places where JGlobus 
dependency was there with Airavata modules, from what I can see, you seem to 
have fixed all these and now only limited to GFac, want to confirm it. 

Also, I am trying to make a new XSUL release independent of JGlobus. So that 
means HTPPS invokers with GSI Security will not work. AFAIK, none of this code 
is in use within Airavata trunk. Do you see any potential issues with this 
change?
