gCore


The gCube Core Distribution (gCore), is a packaging of those components of the gCube system[1] which are deployed on each and every node of a gCube infrastructure (gHN). The distribution includes the following distinguished components:

  • the gCore container, a container for the deployment and runtime management of gCube services;
  • the Local Services, a small set of gCube services which are either required for the correct operation of the gHN or prove convenient to deploy ubiquitously within the infrastructure;
  • the gCube Core Application Framework (gCF), a large code base to simplify the development of gCube services and their clients;

gCore builds upon Globus technology. It is a repackaging of the Globus Toolkit (GT4) dedicated to gCube. In particular, the container is a customisation of the container which is distributed with GT4 (and thus the Axis container extended by it). The gCF is a substantial extension of the Java WS Core framework which is also distributed with GT4.
