Hi,
When I needed a minimal set of libs for a GT4 client, I actually started
with no libs, ran the client, looked at the exception, and added the
relevant lib. A few hours later, I had my minimal set of libs, some 30
or so jars. The next time I upgraded GT4 on the client, I didn't have
the patience, and simply added all jars from the Java WS-core. All the
libs are not that large (IMO), maybe 30MB and 74 jars, in my case
running GT4.0.4. I am not saying it wouldn't be nice to have a tool that
inspects the client code, and produces a jar that includes all the
necessary libs (maybe there is one but I am just not aware of it), but I
have been able to live without such a tool ever since GT3.9.5 came out
(since 2005).
Cheers,
Ioan

Hi,
I also endorsed Pan's concern. We are using GT4.X since some years now
and it is always frustrating to request the deployment of a whole GT
at our client sides, just because of it is almost impossible to
isolate the needed libraries.
I never asked about this to the list, but I'm now a bit surprised to
learn that also Globus people does not exactly know which ones are
needed. I thing this is a very common problem. May be it is time to
have a minimal distribution of GT libs just to allow GT-based services
to be contacted from any non-GT client, isn't it?
best,

It is a common usage that GT4 services are defined and deployed at
the server side while clients on other machines invoke the
services without installation of GT4 or the java WS core. Why the
client-side library is not abstracted out from the collection of
Java WS core libraries? The whole collection of the Java WS core
libraries is not small-sized, this may prevent GT4 clients from
running on resource-limited platforms. Thanks for your attention.

I don't have a list of dependencies that are needed just for the
client side. But you will need at least all of the security
libraries, the client-config.wsdd file and the jars for classes in
that file (which would be wsrf core, common and so on). For most
part, the Java WS core libraries and the stubs for your library
should definitely work.

*Subject:* [gt-user] about Java WS core client-side library
Dear folks,
Suppose I have written a GT4 web service and deployed in a GT4
Java WS core container. I want to invoke this service from a
machine which does not have GT4 installation. What client-side
library does the machine need except the stubs for the invoked
web service? i.e. what globus-specific client-side library
does the machine need?
Thanks.
Regards,
Pan Ke
