[EMBOSS] Handling of local file input in Jemboss

[Rozenbaum, Daniel (Biocceleration Inc)]

Hi Mahmut,

No apologies necessary, and your prompt response is sincerely appreciated!

I have rebuilt Jemboss.jar with these two new versions and everything seems to be working as expected.

Many thanks,
Daniel

It was my mistake, apologies. When I initially looked to the problem I
noticed possible changes may include/interfere-with handling of
list-files and remote-files but in my last look I just forgot this point.

I now have tried fixing it but this has required some changes on the
server side as well. Can you download latest versions of the following
two files and test again.

http://code.open-bio.org/emboss/emboss/jemboss/org/emboss/jemboss/server/JembossServer.java?view=log

(These 2 files has not changed much recently, as far as i can see they
are happy to work as part of 6.4.0)
