Asynchronity - Exercise 1
You know clustalw from a former Exercise.
We will now use this tool as asynchronous WebService by using a JAVA client.
  1. Download a sample JAVA client here.
  2. If you are working within the GZI, you have to point your CLASSPATH environment variable also to all jar libraries in /vol/biotools/lib/.
    Use export CLASSPATH=".:/vol/biotools/lib/*" either for each Xterm or once for your .bashrc file.
    The required libraries are: axis.jar, jaxrpc.jar, commons-logging.jar, commons-discovery.jar, saaj.jar, mail.jar, wsdl4j.jar
  3. Compile the client
  4. Submit your job as described in the previous exercise and wait for the result!
  5. Use this sequenceML File for your computation
  6. How long does it take? What's the meaning of the output printed in the meanwhile?
  7. What are the advantages of using webservices instead of the HTML based interfaces ?
