ProActive Catalog

The goal of the catalog is to store ProActive objects. It is the catalog for general purpose.

The stored objects in the catalog could be:

• rule for PCW service
• workflows
• selection script
• Proactive pre/post task
• objects for authentication service
• any kind of other objects

Catalog contains a set of objects organized into buckets with versioning capabilities.

A single Bucket can store multiple kinds of objects

Building and deploying

You can build a WAR file as follows:

$ gradle clean build war

Then, you can directly deploy the service with embedded Tomcat:

$ java -jar build/libs/catalog-X.Y.Z-SNAPSHOT.war

The WAR file produced by Gradle can also be deployed in the embedded Jetty container started by an instance of ProActive Server.
