Using the SOAP interface in Taverna

On the MOLGENIS user interface there is a link to the SOAP interface for web services. Here we will show how to use web services to access the data from Taverna. If you read this we is assume that you already installed Taverna from the  http://taverna.sourceforge.net .

  1. Start the MOLGENIS server for your Address Book application and browse to the user interface.
  2. Click the ‘Web Services API’ pagelink on the top menu of your Address Book and view and copy the hyperlink  http://..... api/soap?wsdl.
    Note: a WSDL file is a standard description format of web services in the SOAP protocol.
  3. Start Taverna and add the WSDL to Taverna using the WSDL scavenger as shown in the screenshot below:

  1. Assuming you experienced Taverna user explore the usage of the services added. Otherwise we recommend to follow a Taverna tutorial first. Hint: use ‘splitters’ to ease the adding of parameters. Note: update and remove services have been disabled in the standard MOLGENIS distro.
