JABAWS Client

The command line client is an executable Java program which can use JABAWS. It is good for scripting against JABA web services. If you prefer point-and-click interface - download the Graphical User Interface (GUI) client, the Jalview. If you intend to write you own client and need a template - download a command line client source package. For a help on generating GUI's for JABA web services you can consult Jalview source code.

Please refer to Jalview help pages for a help on connecting to JABAWS instance. Help with a command line client is available from How To pages.

JABAWS Server

The server is provided as a self-contained Web Application Archive (WAR) containing all necessary binaries. WAR file can be deployed on any web application server supporting Servlet 2.4 specification i.e. Tomcat 6.0. Download this if you intend to run JABAWS services locally.

  • A Complete Server for Windows: download (16M)

Please bear in mind that server for Windows supports only Muscle and Clustal web services! Please refer to the how to pages to find out why. If you want to run other web services on Windows choose Virtual Appliance package below.

A JABAWS Server Virtual Appliance

The JABAWS virtual appliance is a way to run JABAWS server locally without the need to connect to the internet. It is a complete installation of the JABAWS software on TurnKey Linux. To run the appliance you must first install one of the freely available VMWare Player or Oracle VirtualBox virtualisation systems. By using virtual appliance you can completely avoid the JABAWS installation as the appliance comes fully configured to run the JABAWS. All JABAWS clients, such as Jalview can be easily configured to use the appliance. You can run the appliance with freely available VMWare Player or Oracle VirtualBox. We have tested JABAWS appliance with VMWare Player on Windows and Linux, and VirtualBox on Windows, Linux and Mac. However, you are not limited to these virtualization systems and can use JABAWS appliance with any commercial alternative.
