Customizing and Deploying Web and Grid Services

To customize an enabled package or to deploy newly enabled packages as web services, perform the following:

1. Create a deployment project directory with the command
   R -e "library(RWebServices); unpackAntScript('/path/to')"
   Visit the RWebServicesEnv.properties and RWebServicesTuning.properties files in this directory to ensure suitable configuration.
2. In the directory created above, execute the following commands to unpack and compile the package
   ant map-package –Dpkg=<package> -DcaGridProj=/path/to
ant unpack-package –Dpkg=<package>
ant precompile
   Combine several packages into a single service with a comma-separated list of packages in place of a single <package> name.
3. To use data types or methods of the package, build the jar for the package and copy it into the lib directory of a cagrid web service module with an ant command combined with: –Dpkg=xxx –DcaGridProj=xxx:
ant cagrid-build –Dpkg=<package> -DcaGridProj=/path/to/cagrid_webservice
4. Go to the cagrid web service module directory
   ant deployTomcat
   to deploy cagrid web service to Tomcat server.
5. Go to Tomcat server and restart Tomcat.
