    The main problem is that you are using a command-line client that
talks to Moby Central registry, not to a service you want to call. You
can, however, use this command-line client to call a service, but you need
to add two more parameters:

   1) -e <URL-of-a-service-you-are-calling>

The URL of a service you either know, or you can get it by a separate call
from Moby registry:

   run-cmdline-client -fn MOBYSHoundGetGenBankff

(This will give you this URL:
   http://mobycentral.cbr.nrc.ca/cgi-bin/Services/Services.cgi)

   2) -uri http://biomoby.org/

This is a mandatory namespace for moby services (I hope I have it right).

Additionally to that, it's recommended that you put your XML input in a
file (let's say bankff.xml). The whole command then look like this:

run-cmdline-client \
  -e http://mobycentral.cbr.nrc.ca/cgi-bin/Services/Services.cgi \
  -uri http://biomoby.org/ \
  -call MOBYSHoundGetGenBankff bankff.xml


Which still does not do what you want because your input needs a moby
envelope (the line above gets back an empty result).

The correct full input is this:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<moby:MOBY xmlns:moby="http://www.biomoby.org/moby">
  <moby:mobyContent>
    <moby:mobyData moby:queryID="a1">
      <moby:Simple moby:articleName="">
        <Object namespace="NCBI_gi" id="431260" />
      </moby:Simple>
    </moby:mobyData>
  </moby:mobyContent>
</moby:MOBY>

Put it in bankff.xml and run the line above again and you get a response
from this service (I have just tried).

(I assume that by "try to compile" you mean "try to run", right?)
Let's wait for Paul Gordon to answer this part - he is the author of this
class. Paul, arer you around?


   With regard,
