The DRS is a WS-RF compliant service implemented using the Globus Java WS Core. It exposes a set of Resource Properties and operations to allow users to create replication resources, control replication resources' lifecycle, and inspect the state of replication resources' activities along with the success or failure of individual replicated data sets. In this release, the WSDL and the command-line clients are the primary public interfaces for developers. Two java interfaces exist on the service-side to allow developers and users to modify the source selection behavior of the DRS. These interfaces allow users to chose alternate schemes to select sources beyond the random selection provided by default.

Interfaces to influence source selection include:

Please see service-side interfaces for documentation on these interfaces.
