AutoContainer tfreeman@mcs.anl.gov
Currently Nimbus is deployed into a Globus 4.0.x Java container which is a system built around the Apache Axis engine. To get you started with this system very quickly, we provide something called the AutoContainer which is a complete Globus Java web services core environment. It comes with a setup program that configures everything you need to get a secure web services container running from scratch in about a minute.
