[Biojava-dev] Hi.. Calling Java from Perl

[Abhishek Pratap]

Thanks all. I think Java WS is a way out for me then. As you said it
would be code agnostic and will help me in updating the core code
later.

Just a quick question . Do you happen to know of any good tutorial to
implement a WS for a java process.

Thanks,
-Abhi
