perfsonar development work

[Prodromos Gerakios <>]

Hi all,

Namespaces:
I  have attempted to use trang so as to automatically generate the xsd 
files. trang ran successfully *but* the files produced by trang use the 
same namespace. For instance, in LSRegister there exist two messages: a 
request and response message, which have some element names in common 
but *just the names* not the *definitions*. I noticed that the rnc files 
do indeed use the same namespaces. It is therefore, impossible to write 
a single WSDL file for the entire web service. In fact, it is necessary 
to provide a different WSDL file for each operation. I noticed that 
other tests on soapUI (clmp and rrdMA) use multiple WSDL files as a 
result of this issue.  I am not sure how Relax-NG works but it should be 
possible to generate a *single* and *complete* WSDL file.  As things 
stand, it is impossible to validate request and response messages: 
current WSDL files (of clmp and rrdma) import both request and response 
xsds but really only use the response definitions for soapUI validation. 
Additionally, if the LS (or some other)  service is contacted by an 
external (in respect to perfSONAR) service/client then it must use a 
single WSDL to contact it, right ?

LS installation:

I think that the LS installation assumes that eXist listens on port 
8086.  It also did not create a new account in eXist as a result of this 
problem. I imagine that the installation script does attempt to generate 
a new account.  There is a relatively easy workaround (modify the 
properties file in the deployment directory and create the eXist account 
manually) but I think the installation should be automated.


Please let me know what you think. We could discuss these issues in 
tomorrow's meeting.

Kind regards,
Prodromos.
