Thanks for helping me thus far. I have been doing and will continue to do more background work on the topic to getter a clearer picture. I was just trying to cut down the time which I would otherwise be spending on unnecessary stuff. But, I've got no other way out. I'll come back if I have any problems during the implementation.

So, I guess one of my prerequisites now is Java. Also, I'm looking for some alternate approaches or some concrete examples which would help me demonstrate fault tolerance in a grid computing environment.

"Moreover, why am I going to post my question in a forum if I possess all knowledge about the subject in which I'm about to work on?"

This means "If I knew all the stuff, why would I ask you" which in turn means that I don't know stuff.

"Am I proceeding in the right direction?"

This means "Am I doing things which will ultimately help me develop some sort of a mechanism with which I can exhibit FAULT TOLERANCE IN GRIDS by implementing CHECKPOINTING/LOGGING AND JOB REPLICATION? ". These were the exact terms which I had used in my query. I have clearly gone beyond "Grids in Java" in my first post.

"Is my project guide right in advising me to 'create a grid using Java programs'?"

I agree that this is an incorrectly phrased question. However, what I'm looking for here is whether someone can come up with any other alternative for creating a grid environment without using Java.

Also, I have looked at the links that you have given but I didn't get any results pertaining to the 'implementation of grids using Java'. I agree that my query is vague but I'll be able to make myself more specific only if I get suggestions on how to proceed.

After my study on grids, I could find that fault tolerance was one of the many challenges associated with grid computing and hence, I wanted to do this project. Moreover, why am I going to post my question in a forum if I possess all knowledge about the subject in which I'm about to work on? I think you have misunderstood my query.

The gist of my query is as follows. "Am I proceeding in the right direction? Is my project guide right in advising me to 'create a grid using Java programs' ? If my guide is correct, then why am I not getting any pertinent results on 'grids in Java'? What are the prerequisites for creating a grid? "
