Sir, as far as I have understood from my local installation- say if a php-
or cpp-client wants to run on a server, it needs to have both Airavata and
Thrift installation. However, a complete installation is not required-
"stand alone + Thrift" client sdks should work.
A related documentation is given in
https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/AIRAVATA/PHP+Command+Line+Scripts+Tutorial
which I'm trying to run but have been unable to do so since it's for an
older version.

Regards,
Priyanshu

Suresh,

If someone wants to run a client calling an Airavata server, what are 
the dependencies?
Do they need a complete Airavata and Thrift installation or are the 
client sdks "stand alone" or "stand alone + Thrift" ?

It is likely one could figure out minimum requirements by doing a local 
install of the
php reference gateway and/or client sdks and tracing out the 
dependencies...
but I haven't done that.

Thanks,
Emre

​Okay, I wiil check for that first I need to get the standalone API so
that, I could start

Right, but people will also run genapp.pl many times during development, 
so the code should really check
to see if it was registered and only register if not previously 
registered.  This is why I was asking how Airavata
handles duplicate registry during Fridays hangout.

Sir,
We should not register the executables again and again. what we can do is
we can register it via geenapp.pl
that should be the best way

Any language api can be used, but one of them *needs* to be used.
It would be nice to use the php api for html5/php generated code,
java api for java
c++ for qt versions.
You can study what Nadeem did here 
https://github.com/NadeemAnjum/GenAppAiravata
But his registry program isn't included since he wrote some of it in 
java because the nice thrift bindings weren't available then.

To do this correctly in the genapp way, you would create something in 
genapp/languages/{html5,qt3,...}/util/register_airavata.{php,cpp,java}
then add this program to each language assembly json code so it is 
produced "once"
and this would be produced when genapp.pl is run for an application.
If you can get it to work as a simple command line program for now, I 
can help provide your further instructions
to get it properly integrated into genapp.

Define variables in the code for host and port and we can later map them 
to directives.json or appconfig.json values.

Sir,
As far as I understood, we have to first register all our executable
modules(present in genapptest/bin) in Airavata like the one registered in
samples of Airavata and this has no relation with language apis present.
So there must be some library or online api present so that I could use
regter functions.

Do you mean Airavata "experiments" which is the equivalent to GenApp 
"modules" or
do you mean Airavata "modules" which I believe is something else ...

I would assume the Registry API is "running" on the Airavata server 
instance you are using.
To communicate with the server, you will have to know and define in the 
client some server information (hostip and port#).
Client examples should be in the 
airavata/airavata-api/airavata-client-sdks/...
and also in the airavata-php-gateway code (particularly in 
app/libraries/Utilities.php)
