I am in the process of building a service that wraps a legacy application using a RESTful (JSON based) interface. I need to serve concurrent users, and my application can only serve one user at a time. I have to start up to n instances of my legacy application. My application takes a while to startup and it is stateful.
I can write a configuration driven system that starts the legacy application on different nodes, perform lifecycle management, and request dispatching. However, I was wondering whether there was anything in the Globus Toolkit in terms of code or design inspiration that I should take into account before I start? I know the question is vague, but I am trying to get a handle on the problem and I quite haven't done that yet. Thanks, Saj
