Good morning Lukas!
<p>Um... It doesn't appear that you added "another" service... Here's
a full run-down of the symptoms:
<p>1) You have a *single* service running at www.arabidopsis.org
<br>2) The service takes GO_Term objects as input and outputs Sequence
objects
<br>3) The service uses the GO/Acc namespace
<br>4) Using the MOBY-Client.cgi, your Sequence retrieval service is discovered
correctly
<br>5) BUT!!! when executed, it returns **VirtualSequence** objects,
not Sequence objects
<br>6) AND these VirtualSequence objects are malformed anyway in
that they don't have a length
<p>I'd guess it is the MOBYObjects.pm code that is causing the problems
(in answer to your question yesterday, no, I don't use that module in my
services yet).
<p>How did you register this new service? I hope you didn't edit
the database by hand ;-) ;-) ;-)
<p>I have a more fundamental objection to the way your service is registered.
I am guessing (but am not sure) that you don't actually use the payload
of the GO_Term object to perform your service... right? You just
take the GO/Acc namespace and ID and then do a lookup on the TAIR database
with that ID. If so, then you should not be registering your
service as being limited to GO_Term objects - better register it as taking
base Objects in the namespace GO/Acc. That will allow it to be discovered
(by the ontology) anytime someone has an object in that namespace, regardless
of what object type they have.
<p>Does that seem reasonable to you?
<p>Cheers!
<p>Mark

<br>I added another TAIR service that gives the Sequence object for an

now.
<br>I'll implement different services that return DNASequence and
<br>ProteinSequence objects later. The Sequence itself is not displayed
in
<br>the MOBY_client.cgi. Is this a bug or a feature?
