JABAWS Server Virtual Machine
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 VM.

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.

Please bear in mind that if you deploy JABAWS WAR on Windows, not all web services will be functional. Use the JABAWS Server VM 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.
Version
Current JABAWS version is 1.1 release date 7 April 2011. Please consult the change log file for the breakdown of the changes.
The Complete Source Code
If you want to add another web service or modify JABAWS in any way just download a complete JABAWS source code. We offer the code under Apache licence. The code archive contains the complete Eclipse JABAWS project, but Eclipse is not necessary to build it. Please examine the Ant build file (build.xml) to build and test JABAWS from sources.
