This directory contains Soaplab clients, ready to be used without
downloading anything else. A full distribution, both for clients and
Soaplab service providers, with sources, is available as a CVS module.

Documentation is available on-line at http://www.ebi.ac.uk/soaplab
(or http://industry.ebi.ac.uk/soaplab).


HOW TO USE IT

Invoke available clients (use the ones ending with '.bat' for Windows
OS). The EBI's services are accessible using the endpoint
http://www.ebi.ac.uk/soaplab/services. Some examples are hard-coded
and they serve to test availability of the services. For example:

   sh run/run-any-client SeqretClient -e http://www.ebi.ac.uk/soaplab/services
   sh run/run-any-client CpgplotClient -e http://www.ebi.ac.uk/soaplab/services
   sh run/run-tutorial

The other clients can accept many command-line data and options.  For
the AnalysisClient, you need to say what service name you wish to use.
For example:

   sh run/run-analysis -e http://www.ebi.ac.uk/soaplab/services -name edit::seqret -t -o -i
   sh run/run-analysis -help

   sh run/run-list -e http://www.ebi.ac.uk/soaplab/services -a
   sh run/run-list -gowlab -e http://www.ebi.ac.uk/soaplab/services -a
   sh run/run-list -help

The remaining client helps with registration of Soaplab-based
services with the third-party registries:

   sh run/run-registry -help
   sh run/run-registry -applab -e http://www.ebi.ac.uk/soaplab/services -format uddi4j -o ToPublish.java


Notes:
   1) Or, on Unix platforms, use chmod to make the script above
   executable and call it without 'sh' (note that this small
   inconvenience is due to a bug in the building 'ant' system).

   2) If you need to set the same CLASSPATH as the run- scripts do,
   type:
         . run/source.me.sh, or
         source run/source.me.csh

Enjoy.
