JABAWS Server Virtual Appliance

JABAWS virtual machine is a way of running fully functional JABA Web Services on your own computer. To use virtual machine (VM) you have to install a software for running it. We would recommend VMWare Player for Windows and Linux users or VMware Fusion for Mac users. Jalview can use your local JABAWS VA.

Please check out our manual for the detailed instructions.

JABAWS Server Web Application

The JABAWS Server Web Application aRchive (WAR) version is for you if you want to deploy JABAWS for many users e.g. your laboratory or if you are an expert user and want to have more control on JABAWS. You can also use this version for Mac and Linux computers if you do not want to use virtualization. Finally, you can use this version with a cluster.
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 at the Java servlet specification v. 2.4 or above, i.e. Tomcat 7.0.

  • A JABAWS WAR for all platforms (comes with precompiled Linux x86 and Windows binaries): download (55M)
  • A JABAWS WAR for Mac (comes with precompiled Mac binaries): download (51M)

Please bear in mind that if you deploy JABAWS WAR on Windows, not all web services will be functional. Use the JABAWS Server VA package instead.

JABAWS Command Line Client

The command line client is an executable Java program for scripting against JABA web services. Its also useful as an example of how to access JABAWS services if you intend to use JABAWS in your own program, with functions demonstrating how to discover command line parameters and presets supported by a service, and how to run, monitor and retrieve the results of a job. Note: The client is used in the Jalview 2.6.1 source code to autogenerate a graphical user interface for JABA services.

The command line client will display help documentation if it is run with no arguments, the same information is also given in the command line client's manual page.
