Hello,

I'm currently thinking about transitioning a cgi script that uses
Bioperl's Bio::DB::GenBank code to a Java servlet to streamline a project
I'm working on.  My question is whether BioJava provides a class or
classes that can accomplish the same thing as Bio::DB::GenBank?
Specifically, I'm looking for the ability to fetch a GenBank file from
NCBI given either an id or accession number.   I've found the code to
parse these files, but not fetch them.


thanks,
Mike
