A new RLS java client has been developed. The new client is critical for RLS users on 64-bit platforms. Unlike the existing client that uses JNI and only wraps the C client, the new client is written entirely in Java and depends only on the Java CoG kit distributed with Globus. Also, the new client is backward compatible with the existing Java client, so you can drop it in and immediately start using it. It can be found in the Globus CVS (trunk only) at: replica/rls/client/java/source The following GPT packages may be used to install the client. For users of Globus Toolkit 4.0.x, use the following package: http://www.isi.edu/~schuler/bug4114/4_0_x/globus_rls_client_java-0.0.tar .gz For users of Globus Toolkit 4.1.x (development), use the following package: http://www.isi.edu/~schuler/bug4114/dev/globus_rls_client_java-0.0.tar.g z With either package, you may use the following command to install it: $GPT_LOCATION/sbin/gpt-build globus_rls_client_java-0.0.tar.gz The dev package will be released with the GT 4.2 release. We are looking into releasing the 4.0.x package (perhaps as an advisory release). Finally, we would like to thank the Pegasus project's Gaurang Mehta and Karan Vahi for their help in testing the client in a large-scale application. --- For the complete record regarding bug 4114 see: http://bugzilla.globus.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=4114 --- Rob Globus RLS Committer
