Hi...

I've been working on a Servlet implementation of the DAS
protocol based on the BioJava Sequence framework.  I've
now got a version running which implements the full protocol
(except for the stylesheet command).  You can experiment
with it at:

  http://das.ensembl.org/test/das/

Currently there's only a very small amount of data being
served -- I'll add some more interesting data sources in
the next week or so.

I'm also hoping to get a source release out some time next
week (right now the server code is pretty solid, but it needs
a bit more work on the configuration mechanism).

For those who were at BOSC, Matthew Pocock's DAS demonstration
used an early version of this code base as the server.  I hope
that this code will become a good testbed for the protocol.

Happy hacking,

   Thomas.
