- A JABAWS client is a program that lets you run the bioinformatics methods for which a JABAWS server provides web
- services. The most basic JABAWS client is a command line Java application which can call any of the JABAWS web
- services methods on any instance of JABAWS Server that it can reach over the web. It is useful if you want to
- test, or execute the programs provided by a JABAWS server in your own scripts, and do not want to handle any web
- service specific details. The client is open source, so you can also use its source code to find out how to work
- with JABA Web Services if you would like to write your own client software.
- Jalview, which is a multiple sequence alignment and analysis application,
- provides a graphical JABAWS client. This client has the same functionality as the command line client, but
- instead allows JABAWS services to be accessed in a more user-friendly manner, through a graphical user interface.

- JABAWS version 2.1 is fully backward compatible with JABAWS v1.0 and v2.0. That means that all JABAWS v1.0 and
- v2.0 clients should also be able to use JABAWS 2.1 services. To access the analysis web services introduced in
- JABAWS 2.0, however, clients that were designed for JABAWS v1.0 must be updated.

This package is based on the autogenerated source code produced by wsimport, which
is the Java tool for creating web service bindings; but in addition, offers some additional methods which simplify
working with JABAWS. For more information please refer to the data model javadoc.
