Dear Friends, We would like to develop a web service in java platform and would like to use Bioconductor R packages through java. Among Rwebservices and RServe, which is better to use? Can any body give more explanation on this? Regards, Prashantha [[alternative HTML version deleted]]

It requires an infrastructure involving the web server communicating with activeMQ and then 'workers' doing the calculations; it provides the R components required to do this, but you'd likely end up having to do some development work to make the messaging queue and workers robust to hardware and other errors. The design allows big computational jobs typical of high throughput data analysis to be allocated to the 'back-end' workers. I'm not completely familiar with recent RServe; my general impression is that one would write a web app to sit in front of it, dispatching tasks to Rserve; you'd be responsible for integration of this front end as a web app, and you'd still want to manage the machines providing Rserve functionality. There is also Rapache rapache.net which might be particularly useful for tasks that will be run strictly on the server (or using apache configuration and other tools to distribute tasks). Rapache and Rserve are maintained more actively than RWebServices; the latter is only well-tested in Linux server environments. Have you looked at the vignettes in RWebServices and other packages? http://bioconductor.org/help/bioc- views/release/bioc/html/RWebServices.html Martin > > Regards, > > Prashantha > > [[alternative HTML version deleted]] > > _______________________________________________ > Bioconductor mailing list > Bioconductor at r-project.org > https://stat.ethz.ch/mailman/listinfo/bioconductor > Search the archives: http://news.gmane.org/gmane.science.biology.informatics.conductor -- Computational Biology Fred Hutchinson Cancer Research Center 1100 Fairview Ave. N.

Hi Prashantha, I suppose it really depends on what you are trying to do. There was also Rweb which I don't know if you had happened across. And if you are not bound to java then maybe look at Rapache. ---------- Forwarded message ---------- > From: MLSC MANIPAL <mlscmahe@gmail.com> > To: Bioconductor@r-project.org > Date: Fri, 25 Mar 2011 06:20:42 -0300 > Subject: [BioC] Which is best among RWebServices and Rserve? > Dear Friends, > > We would like to develop a web service in java platform and would like to > use Bioconductor R packages through java.
