Package org.globus.replica.catalog Description
The Globus Replica Catalog JavaTM API provides Globus Data Grid Replica Management Service functionality to applications written in the Java programming language. It is designed to provide operations to manage replica catalog information.
The Replica Catalog Management Service is part of Globus Data Grid infrastructure. It is responsible for managing complete and partial copies of data sets. At a high level, a replica catalog maps filenames to locations. Within a replica catalog, a collection represents an abstract set of filenames. Within a collection, a location associates physical storage with a subset of collection filenames. Also within a collection, a file object associates information such as size with a collection filename.
The Globus Replica Catalog Java API is based on JNDI. JNDI is a Java Standard Extension.
