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

[Mark Schreiber]

Hi -

You could try and use something like CORBA but that would be quite ugly.

A nicer alternative would be to put the BioJava functionality in a web
service and send sequences as FASTA or some custom format??

I think WS is considered the best way for Java and .NET to talk so probably
it is for Perl too.

Hi Andy

Thanks for a quick reply.  I think SHELLING out will be too process
intensive as we expect thousands of call to same Java method. I also
read about the Perl modules Java::Inline. Is that any good ?

And to answer your second question I am basically using a inhouse
method which in turns used a lot of BioJava classes for DNA
manipulation.

Thanks,
