[MOBY-l] Services accepting multiple inputs

[Ola Spjuth]

Hi,

If a service accepts a single object as input, and delivers a single  
object as output (like MOBYSHoundGetGenBankff) it would be convenient  
if you were able to send a list of simple objects and get a list back  
with result objects. I understand if this is not possible (by  
design), and yes this was my question.

I suppose it would be possible to set up another version of the  
service that accepted a MobyDataComposite containing an arbitrary  
number of wrapped MobyDataObject, and delivers a MobyDataComposite as  
output, containing an arbitrary number of objects? This means you  
need 2 different services to accommodate for the case of one input  
object and another for many inputs, and the situation is left to  
service providers and not handled by Moby. Is this a correct  
observation?

Yes, I am also curious to hear about that!
