NAME

Bio::BioVeL::AsynchronousService::TNRS - wrapper for the SUPERSMART TNRS service

DESCRIPTION

NOTE: this service is untested, it is a work in progress. It is meant to show how the scripts of the http://www.supersmart-project.org could be executed as asynchronous web services.

METHODS

new

The constructor specifies one object property: the location of the input names list.

launch

Launches the TNRS script. This will require the SUPERSMART_HOME environment variable to be defined, which when running under mod_perl needs to be done by adding something like the following to httpd.conf:

PerlSetEnv SUPERSMART_HOME /Library/WebServer/Perl/supersmart

response_location

NOTE: this is an untested feature. The idea is that child classes can re-direct the client to an alternate location with, e.g. the most important output file or a directory listing of files.

response_body

Returns the analysis result as a string. In this service, this is the tab-separated file of names-to-taxon-ID mappings.
