For stable purposes, a mysql configuration is recommended. * Airavata Server Web Application This is similar package as the Airavata Server but is distributed as the server Web Application archive. This war is compatible with Apache Tomcat application server. The war bundles all airavata services enabled by defualt to startup a derby database as the backend registry. For stable purposes, a mysql configuration is recommended. Client Distributions -------------------- * Airavata XBaya The Airavata XBaya distribution is a client GUI application with features to register applications as web services, construct workflows, execute and monitor workflows and browse the generated results from the airavata registry. * Airavata Client The Airavata Client distribution is a set of libraries and configurations files that allow a 3rd party application to programatically access Airavata functionality through Airavata API. How to test and run samples =========================== * If you built Airavata from source, and if you see "BUILD SUCCESS", then the test cases should have passes. * The test cases are beyond unit level, they startup embedded services and run through basic workflow use cases. * To walk through Airavata features, follow "Airavata in Five Minutes" tutorial at http://airavata.apache.org/documentation/tutorials/airavata-in-5-minutes.html. * For intermediate level Airavata features, follow "Airavata in Ten Minutes" tutorial at http://airavata.apache.org/documentation/tutorials/airavata-in-5-minutes.html. * For advanced use cases, please contact mailing lists - http://airavata.apache.org/community/mailing-lists.html
