\r
Cluster stats: \r
 +cancelled should not be reported as incomplete!\r
 -Remove hyperlinks from tasks which workdirs were removed \r
 -graph generation \r
 -user documentation (do not forget how to enable follow symlinks!)\r
 -use the same name for output for different executables\r
 +ant task to clean up clean stat db task before packing web app\r
 +pack web apps with stat db (NOT TESTED!)\r
 +change input size bites\r
 +add help info for each column in the detailed job list table\r
 +replace default -1 with ? \r
 +delete and re-import the database to fix clustal input staff    \r
\r
add to help text: To disable a web service remove it from WEB-INF/sun-jaxws.xml descriptor\r
\r
add to help: VirtualBox 4.0.4 works fine with JABAWS update links \r
\r
rename jaba.war to jabaws.war and make sure jabaws context path is used throughout. \r
\r
Current stat collector has to rely on file dates! \r
\r
Test all WS as names from Executables were removed\r
\r
Add default names for input and output in every executable and use them consistently\r
throughts (e.g. in all WS). Best of all use the same name from SceletalExectuable \r
For statistics. \r

FIXME: \r
Conecting to JABAWS version 2 service\r

INFO: Connected successfully!\r
Exception in thread "main" java.lang.NullPointerException\r

ScoreManager should output scores properly \r
\r
Allow empty Parameters and Preset files! \r
\r
Check the WS input and reject it on submission rather then of access with error message\r
\r
Globprot need a proper reference to bio python and sav_gol binaries -> they should be \r
somehow taken from disembl. \r
\r
+Add registry service to query services status\r
\r
+Refactor web services checker to enable a programmatic access to its methods.\r
+Finish the client\r
\r
Add interface for Jalview annotation \r
Add the method to return Jalview Annotation to SequenceAnnotation IF  \r
\r
Develop generic Interface to return Jalview annotation for easy to add new \r
services (?) \r
\r
Replace conservation.Method with server.ws.Method \r
and try building WS. If this does not work - get rid of Method\r
\r
Output file parsing for stat reporting\r
cluster engine stat of www-jws2 user\r
\r
integrate the above to tweak the size of the local job\r
\r
Add AACon ws\r
Add iupred ws http://iupred.enzim.hu/\r
Add globprot ws - does not report raw scores, just regions\r
Add ronn ws\r

USE CASE - TURN ALIGNMENT INTO PROFILE AND SEARCH SEQUENCE DATABASE USECASE\r
- Receive user alignment \r
- use hmmerbuild to turn it to profile\r
- use hmmersearch to search the database \r
\r
#END OF - TURN ALIGNMENT INTO PROFILE AND SEARCH SEQUENCE DATABASE USECASE \r
\r
New data model for representing psiblast,blast,phmmer,jackhmmer results\r
\r
new parsers for the above programmes output (Stockholm MSA format?)\r
\r
Think hard on what to do with large output files? \r
e.g. serve the hits table in full, but retrieve alignments on demand.\r
What actually needs to be sent?   \r
\r
Add facility to distribute other results of the calculations like the trees and \r
annotation file for probcons. \r
\r
# END OF SEARCHING SEQUENCE DATABASE USECASE\r
\r
Good toString method for Limits (test with command line client -limits)\r
\r
JABA DOCS\r
(later) Define limits for presets - if required\r
(later) Add documentation on Presets, Parameters and Limits\r
(later) Explain how to define a limit\r
\r
Add test for repeated result collection from cluster engine\r
\r
(low) Pack the test cases and build file to run them in one of the distributives \r
\r
(low) Add logging facility to WSTester so more details of the problem can be reported\r
\r
(low) Statistics collector for engines (number of operations/timing)\r
\r
(later) WRAP Amps\r
\r
(later) Implement utility to rerun died tasks\r
\r
(later) Add recognition for executables for the different architectures\r
\r
(later) use Latch to manage engine reservations. Reservations for parallel jobs? \r
\r
DONE\r
WILL NOT DO: Progress bars - needs assessing how long does it take to run a task\r
DONE: LocalExecutor service must be shutdown on web application undeploy event not on JVM shutdown. \r
      This is because JVM is still running even after web application is shut down!\r
DONE: Use absolute path for web site download links as archives are not included into distro!\r
DONE: Rearrange web site docs - add links to the top of the page to the topics discussed below\r
DONE: Put the documentation for various executables online\r
DONE: Make left gradient image one-two characters larger + change "For developer ->For Developers"\r
DONE: test local/cluster execution - test Load balancer\r
DONE: Improve SimpleWS client so it can be scripted against: give user alignment and accept parameters\r
DONE: Make a configuration tester class (check that configuration files point to the executables, and they can be executed)\r
DONE: PUT CLIENT JAR INTO WEB-INF/LIB - most likely need to get rid of dist prefix in the build file\r
DONE: Different packages for download and dundee. generic vs specific settings. \r

DONE: jobsout must be created within war\r
DONE: enable relative paths for local engine conf temp dir\r

DONE: throw JobSubmission exception with appropriate method instead - (low) code discoverer/tester for ws - e.g. after war deployment to find out what actually works\r
DONE: fix build scripts after reorganising project\r
DONE: package as war file for deployment\r
DONE: package for jalview distro for local execution\r

DONE: Write tomcat conf to expose WS\r
DONE: access control to web.xml\r
DONE: Statistics collector for WS\r
DONE: implements limits for web services\r
DONE: WS clients must be able to connect to a web service given the service url. \r

the configuration file.  \r
\r
DONE: Could not find configuration files if run from within servlet container\r
DONE: Add ways to get engine based on the key for everything but submission of the new tasks \r
DONE: Add cache to Cluster JOBID - so that at least jobs for which results have not been collected is cached.\r

DONE: Provide way around of generated directory setup for test cases(?)\r
DONE: Fix the test cases for local engine (need to set directory on executable explicitly)\r
