NAME

       Bio::Tools::Run::Analysis::soap - A SOAP-based access to the analysis tools

SYNOPSIS

       Do not use this object directly, it is recommended to access it and use it through the
       "Bio::Tools::Run::Analysis" module:

         use Bio::Tools::Run::Analysis;
         my $tool = Bio::Tools::Run::Analysis->new(-access => 'soap',
                                                   -name   => 'seqret');

DESCRIPTION

       This object allows to execute and to control a remote analysis tool (an application, a
       program) using the SOAP middleware,

       All its public methods are documented in the interface module "Bio::AnalysisI" and
       explained in tutorial available in the "analysis.pl" script.

FEEDBACK

   Mailing Lists
       User feedback is an integral part of the evolution of this and other Bioperl modules. Send
       your comments and suggestions preferably to the Bioperl mailing list.  Your participation
       is much appreciated.

   Support
       Please direct usage questions or support issues to the mailing list:

       bioperl-l@bioperl.org

       rather than to the module maintainer directly. Many experienced and reponsive experts will
       be able look at the problem and quickly address it. Please include a thorough description
       of the problem with code and data examples if at all possible.

   Reporting Bugs
       Report bugs to the Bioperl bug tracking system to help us keep track of the bugs and their
       resolution. Bug reports can be submitted via the web:

APPENDIX

       Here is the rest of the object methods.  Internal methods are preceded with an underscore
       _.

   _initialize
        Usage   : my $tool = Bio::Tools::Run::Analysis->new(-access => 'soap',
                                                            -name => 'seqret',
                                                            ...);
                  (_initialize is internally called from the 'new()' method)
        Returns : nothing interesting
        Args    : This module recognises and uses following arguments:
                    -location
                    -name
                    -httpproxy
                    -timeout
                  Additionally, the main module Bio::Tools::Run::Analysis
                  recognises also:
                    -access

       It populates calling object with the given arguments, and then - for some attributes and
       only if they are not yet populated - it assigns some default values.

       This is an actual new() method (except for the real object creation and its blessing which
       is done in the parent class Bio::Root::Root in method _create_object).

       Note that this method is called always as an object method (never as a class method) - and
       that the object who calls this method may already be partly initiated (from
       Bio::Tools::Run::Analysis::new method); so if you need to do some tricks with the 'class
       invocation' you need to change Bio::Analysis new method, not this one.

       -location
           A URL (also called an endpoint) defining where is located a Web Service representing
           this analysis tool.

           Default is "http://www.ebi.ac.uk/soaplab/services" (services running at European
           Bioinformatics Institute on top of most of EMBOSS analyses, and few others).

           For example, if you run your own Web Service using Java(TM) Apache Axis toolkit, the
           location might be something like "http://localhost:8080/axis/services".

       -name
           A name of a Web Service (also called a urn or a namespace).  There is no default value
           (which usually means that this parameter is mandatory unless your -location parameter
           includes also a Web Service name).

       -destroy_on_exit => '0'
           Default value is '1' which means that all Bio::Tools::Run::Analysis::Job objects -
           when being finalised - will send a request to the remote Web Service to forget the
           results of these jobs.

           If you change it to '0' make sure that you know the job identification - otherwise you
           will not be able to re-established connection with it (later, when you use your script
           again). This can be done by calling method "id" on the job object (such object is
           returned by any of these methods: "create_job", "run", "wait_for").

       -httpproxy
           In addition to the location parameter, you may need to specify also a location/URL of
           an HTTP proxy server (if your site requires one). The expected format is
           "http://server:port".  There is no default value.

       -timeout
           For long(er) running jobs the HTTP connection may be time-outed. In order to avoid it
           (or, vice-versa, to call timeout sooner) you may specify "timeout" with the number of
           seconds the connection will be kept alive. Zero means to keep it alive forever. The
           default value is two minutes.

   is_binary
         Usage   : if ($service->is_binary ('graph_result')) { ... }
         Returns : 1 or 0
         Args    : $name is a result name we are interested in

   VERSION and Revision
        Usage   : print $Bio::Tools::Run::Analysis::soap::VERSION;
                  print $Bio::Tools::Run::Analysis::soap::Revision;

   Defaults
        Usage   : print $Bio::Tools::Run::Analysis::soap::DEFAULT_LOCATION;
