Dear Steve, Thanks a lot for this detailed answer! I guess that the github project you talk about is this one: https://github.com/jglobus/JGlobus ?
I now use globus toolkit 4.x since a couple of year and therefore, plan to migrate to Apache CXF at some point. I know that you said that you are finishing the documentation but would you already have some pointer on how to use jGlobus-2.0 with Apache CXF (configure WS-Security to use pem formatted certificates etc.)? Thanks again or your help. Best, Jerome Le 09/02/2011 03:50, Steve Tuecke a écrit : > Jerome, > > The software that we originally called Crux never made it off the > launch pad.
