[MOBY-l] MobyDataSetInstance vs MobyDataSimpleinstance

[Benjamin Good]

There is no .setXmlMode in MobyDataSetInstance .  I think this will 
cause problems requesting services from Central ..??

Has anyone built a collection in a java and used it to query for 
services successfully?

I built a collection of Objects as below and didn't find any matching 
services?  This should match anything that accepts a collection as 
input because of the inheritance from object right??

            //specify a dataype for use in the input to the template 
service
            MobyDataType type = new MobyDataType("Object");
//make a jMoby object to act as the input to the template (and later 
the actual call)
            MobyDataSimpleInstance input1 = new MobyDataSimpleInstance 
("");
            input1.setDataType (type);
            input1.addNamespace (new MobyNamespace ("NCBI_gi"));
            input1.setId("111076");

            MobyDataSimpleInstance input2 = new MobyDataSimpleInstance 
("");
            input2.setDataType (type);
            input2.addNamespace (new MobyNamespace ("NCBI_gi"));
            input2.setId("111077");

            MobyDataSimpleInstance[] inputset = new 
MobyDataSimpleInstance[2];
            inputset[0] = input1;
            inputset[1] = input2;
            MobyDataSetInstance input = new 
MobyDataSetInstance("",inputset);

//specify that the xml generated for this object by the getXML method
//is suitable for communicating with moby central --- doesn't exist!
         //   input.setXmlMode(MobyDataSimpleInstance.CENTRAL_XML_MODE);
//add the moby object as input to the template service
            templateService.addInput(input);

//Find services that match this template service
            MobyService[] validServices = 
worker.findService(templateService);

-> finds none
-> why?

thanks!
