-----------------------------------------

             Summary: Upgrade JGlobus version to 2.0.6-RC2
                 Key: AIRAVATA-883
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/AIRAVATA-883
             Project: Airavata
          Issue Type: Improvement
          Components: GFac
         Environment: Unix/Linux
            Reporter: Amila Jayasekara
             Fix For: 0.9


With the upgrade I am also planning to introduce following functionalities at GFac level.

1. Recovery mechanisms at GFac level 
          a. Two phase commit
          b. Resuming Job monitoring after Airavata restarts
2. Job cancellation at GFac API level

Some of the FAQs are answered below;

a. Why upgrade ?
We had been using cog-jglobus 1.8.0 for grid communication. This is a fairly old library and some of the functionalities are not supported. (E.g:- TLS communication, SHA2 support, Support to handle X509Certificates using Java objects)

b. Why "RC2" ?
We have tested 2.0.6-RC2 against functionalities we use within GFac. You may find these test cases in [2]. 

c. What are the areas tested ?
Tests cover, myproxy operations, file transfer operations and job submission. Further these tests were ran against trestles, lonestar and stampede providers.

d. From where we going to pick 2.0.6-RC2 jars ?
Since 2.0.6-RC2 is not yet released we will add these jars as file system repo to trunk. Plan is to get JGlobus 2.0.6 release out before 0.9 release.

Comments/objections/concerns welcome.
