ABSTRACT

In this chapter, we present how to develop and deploy our DEVS/SOA M&S framework. As described in the previous chapter, we are going to develop two DEVS/SOA platforms. The first one, the DEVS/SOA JAVA platform, is developed using NetBeans 7 and GlassFish as the main server (Oracle). NetBeans has been already introduced in Chapter 4. GlassFish is an open-source enterprise application server project started by Sun Microsystems for the Java EE platform and now sponsored by Oracle Corporation. Inside NetBeans, we are using the Java API for XML Web Services (JAX-WS), which is a Java programming language API for creating web services. It is part of the Java EE platform. Thus, the corresponding NetBeans plugin must be installed. The second one, DEVS/SOA.NET, is developed using Microsoft Visual Studio 2010. Microsoft Visual Studio is an Integrated Development Environment (IDE) from Microsoft. We can use it to develop console and graphical user interface applications, websites, web applications, and web services (MSDN).
