Aquamaps Service Installation

The Installation of the Aquamaps Service on top of a gCube container (gHN), cannot be performed by exploiting the dynamic deployment mechianism offered by the gCube framework.

Therefore a manual installation process need to be performed in order to install the service and its dependenceny and to correctly configure access to Aquamaps DB.


Aquamaps Service packages and dependencies installation

The current stable repository for gCube (v 2.2.1) can be found at :

https://grids16.eng.it/BuildReport/browse/Recent_Builds/org.gcube.2-2-1/BUILD_6

The following package has been released as part of gCube 2.2.1:

  • org.gcube.application.aquamaps.aquamapsservice-servicearchive-2.4.2-0 [1]


The tar archive contains the following packages to install:

  • Aquamaps Service gar

The Aquamaps Service package, to be installed inside a gHN container using the following command:

gcore-deploy-service org.gcube.application.aquamaps.gar
  • Aquamaps stubs

The Aquamaps Service stubs library ( org.gcube.application.aquamaps.stubs.jar ) to be copied inside the gHN library folder ( $GLOBUS_LOCATION/lib )

  • gCube GeoServer Interface library

The geoserverInt.jar automatically installed into the $GLOBUS_LOCATION/lib folder when installing Aquamaps Service gar

  • Third Party Libraries

The Following Third Party Libraries are automatically installed togheter with Aquamaps Service gar into the $GLOBUS_LOCATION/lib folder:

    • commons-codec-1.3.jar
    • commons-httpclient.jar
    • csv4j_gcube.jar ( gCube specific extension to csv4j library)

In addition the following libraries need to be manually installed under $GLOBUS_LOCATION/lib

    • Jetty v. 7.0.0 [2]
    • MySQL JDBC v 5.1.5 [3]


CMAR C-Square Mapper Software and dependencies Installation

The CMAR C-Square Mapper software ( http://www.marine.csiro.au/csquares/about-mapper.htm) is a perl utility which plots dataset exents on a range of base maps, according to a string of c-squares.

The original version running as web application has been modified in order to run on a gCube Hosting Node as well as on a gLite Working node. This way the software can be exploited by the gCube Aquamaps Service Suite to plot Aquamaps Species Distribution and Biodiversity Maps.

The customized version of the software can be download from :

-- Link to add --

The installation of the customized version of the C-Square Mapper on the gHN hosting the Aquamaps Service should be carried as follows:

  • Untar the tar archive c-squaresOnGrid.tar.gz
  • Move the c-squaresOnGrid folder under the $GLOBUS_LOCATION folder

Dependencies Installation

The C-Square Mapper software depends on third party libraries to be installed on the gHN host:

The Xplanet tar archive should be installed under the /usr/local/share folder of the gHN host
