Yep.  GLUE is pretty nice, so long as what you're doing fits
into the RPC-over-SOAP framework, and your messages don'tt
get too big.

There's some stuff up at:

  http://www.biojava.org/thomasd/DAS/spec-new.html

It's been delayed for a couple of weeks while I finished a paper
and re-wrote my DAS1 server (it needed it...), but I'm back working
on it now.


Incidentally, I noticed this morning that SOAP/1.2 has been
released as a working draft by the W3C.  Need to dig a bit
deeper to see what the consequences of this will be.


   Thomas.
