[MOBY-l] Taverna & MOBY services

Hi there,

Im trying to get a quick MOBY service up and running using Taverna and 
its not working quite as I would like.

I deregistered my old keywordToGene service, moved it to a new machine, 
updated the MOBY code to 0.8 and reregistered the service. Ive checked 
it out using the gbrowse client and it seems to behave appropriately. 
Querying with a global_keyword seed text of A2m brings back the correct 
information. However, if I set something up in Taverna to send the same 
text to the service it always fails, the stack trace in the terminal 
seems to indicate a perl problem with an error thrown by XML::Parser

I noticed from Mark's last presentation that the taverna workflow shown 
there seems to have two input objects (blue triangles) - presumably a 
namespace and an ID that are going into a create_moby_data 'box'. Im 
wondering if there is more to using MOBY via Taverna than a simple text 
input object and that is my problem, or if its a more fundamental 
service problem.

I would love to get things working with Taverna so any thoughts would 
be most appreciated!

Cheers,

	Simon.
