perfSONAR User Q&A and Other Discussion

[kunal shroff <>]

hello again,

I tried installing perfsonar using the MDM-3.0 bundle. According to our 
needs i believe that the lookup and the RRD MA services should be 
sufficient.
I tried to install these services using the .war files.
I installed the lookup service first (geant2-java-xml-ls-1.2-1.war).
the URL is as follows:  
http://198.124.220.135:8080/xml-ls/services/LookupService and has been 
configured to use the eXist data at 
http://198.124.220.135:8080/exist/rest/db/ls

when i test the installation with a echo request i get the reply as follows.

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<nmwg:message id="message1219763072_resp"
 messageIdRef="message1219763072" type="EchoResponse" 
xmlns:nmwg="http://ggf.org/ns/nmwg/base/2.0/";>
 <nmwg:metadata id="resultCodeMetadata">
   <nmwg:eventType>error.ls.eventtype_not_supported</nmwg:eventType>
 </nmwg:metadata>
 <nmwg:data id="resultDescriptionData_for_resultCodeMetadata" 
metadataIdRef="resultCodeMetadata">
   <nmwgr:datum xmlns:nmwgr="http://ggf.org/ns/nmwg/result/2.0/";>LS 
EchoRequest error: Not supported event type [echo]. Must be: 
[http://schemas.perfsonar.net/tools/admin/echo/ls/2.0]</nmwgr:datum>
 </nmwg:data>
</nmwg:message>

the logs for the service read as follows

2008-08-27 10:34:27,883  INFO - RequestHandler: Service received a request
2008-08-27 10:34:27,903  INFO - RequestHandler: Service sent a 
successful response

I assumed that this is not fatal and moved on to install the RRD MA 
(geant2-java-rrd-ma-3.0-1.i386) at the URL
http://198.124.220.135:8080/gneant2-java-rrd-ma/services/MeasurementArchivesService
I have also attached the xml file containing information about the 
metadata which i use during configuration.

while testing the above service i get a similar EchoResponse message 
i.e. this type of event type is not supported.

Do i need to install the web services again because of the failed echo 
response?
Also while using this service address in the perfsonarUI interfaces tab 
i need to specify a schema should I just use 
http://schemas.perfsonar.net/2.0 ??

thanks in advance for your help
