The Java WS Core container is the web services hosting environment based on Java on which the GT higher-level Java web services (such as RFT and CAS) are based.

To start the Java WS Core container in any default installation of GT, run globus-start-container:

$GLOBUS_LOCATION bin/globus-start-container

If you want to run without transport-level security, use the -nosec option:

$GLOBUS_LOCATION bin/globus-start-container -nosec

To stop the container, run:

$GLOBUS_LOCATION bin/globus-stop-container

The following GT components are higher-level web services based on Java WS Core

You can use the wsrf-query command to query any WSRF resource property document. For example, you can use the following command to query the WS MDS Index Service for all the resource properties collected by the default Index Service on your local host:

$GLOBUS_LOCATION/bin/wsrf-query -s http://localhost:8443/wsrf/services/DefaultIndexService '/*'
