- <strong>The Web Services Preferences Dialog Box</strong>
- </p>
-
- <p>
- Jalview includes a range of web services clients for data retrieval
- and analysis. The <em>Web Services</em> menu found in each alignment
- window provides access to some of these services, and is configured
- <em>via</em> the web services preference dialog box, available from
- the <em>Preferences</em> panel from the <strong>Tools→Preferences...</strong>
- menu from the Jalview Desktop window's menu bar.

- </p>
- <p>
- <strong>Configuring the list of JABAWS servers</strong><br> The
- main area of the panel shows the list of <a href="JABAWS.html">JABAWS</a>
- servers that Jalview is currently aware of. The list includes a
- colour coded status: green indicates that all services are available
- for a given server, amber signifies that one or more services on the
- server are not fully functional, and red highlights servers that
- could not be contacted or are not functional for some other reason.
- </p>
- <p>
- A server's URL may be added, edited by double clicking on it, or
- deleted by selecting it and using the buttons below. After adding or
- editing a server's URL, you will be asked if you wish to test the
- server. If you wish to do so, then first ensure you can view the new
- server's test report, which will be output on Jalview's standard
- console output (you can open Jalview's built in console viewer via
- the <strong>Tools→Java Console</strong> menu option).
- </p>
- <p>
- <strong>Controlling the layout of the Web Services Menu</strong><br>
- The range of services that Jalview is able to access depends upon
- your requirements, and local computational resources. However, when
- a large number of resources are available, then the entries and sub
- menus in the <strong>web services</strong> menu can quickly become
- unwieldly. The options in the lower part of the dialog box enable
- you to control the display of each type of analysis service client
- in the web services menu. In addition, indexing options are provided
- that enable you to define the layout of the menus provided for
- JABAWS services by sorting them into submenus according to analysis
- type and/or host server.
- </p>
- <p>
- <em>The web services preferences panel was added in Jalview
- 2.6, and server status indications added in Jalview 2.8.</em>
- </p>
- <p>
- <strong><a name="wswarnings">Web Services Invalid URL
- warnings</a></strong><br> Jalview may inform you of any problems
- contacting the web services by showing a dialog box like the one
- below:<br>
- <center>
- <img src="invalidurldialog.gif" align="center"
- alt="Web Services Invalid URL Warning dialog box" width="389"
- height="258"><br> Web Services Invalid URL Warning
- dialog box
- </center>
- <br>
- <strong><em>Note:</em></strong> this warning will be shown if you are
- running the Jalview desktop without any network connection, or if you
- have configured
- <a href="JABAWS.html">JABA services</a> which cannot be accessed from
- your location. Should you wish to disable these warnings, then uncheck
- the
- <em>Display warnings</em> check box in the web services preferences.
- </p>
- <p>
- <em>The web services warnings dialog box was added in Jalview
- 2.6.1</em>
