Starting a Standalone Service Using Gfac

1. You need to have ServiceMap, Application Desciption and Host description created. Please refer to Gopi's Tutorials, Service Map
Host Description, Appication Description
2. Create a property file for your service. For an example following is a simple property file, wrf.properties
   

   serviceMapFile = samples/wrf/wrf.xml
   appDescFile = samples/wrf/appDescDocs/wrf-mercury.xml
   hostDescFile = samples/hosts/mercury.xml
   port = 12344
   

   More Options can be found from the reference documents.
3. Start the service

   	$export GFAC_HOME=path to gfac
   	$cd $GFAC_HOME
   	$./run.sh path_to_property-file
   	......
   

   if service is succesfully started it it prints

   	....
   	Service WSDL is avalible from http://host:port/?wsdl
   	

4. Shell will hangs while service is running. You can stop the service by pressing Ctrl+C. To Find out how to invoke the service go here
