Client Development

To get started as a client within the network:

• Download the CDK, our Client Development Kit.
• Print the Client Install Instructions and follow the step-wise instructions.
• Try out a running instance of this simple client here. Paste this url in the text box: http://vpin.tigr.org/servlet/rice/cds After pressing the "Get Graph" button, provide this value "11971.e377720" for the tigr_gene:exonName element of the moby:Subject node, then press the "Post Graph" button. The values for the tigr rice cds can be found in the last text box with the moby:Object node.
• View the Java API, a set of java classes that assist with programmatic access to the protocol, here.
• Find additional developer tools here.

We use Tomcat as the java-enabled webserver for the CDK. For your convenience we've provided the version of tomcat we use.

We use Ant to build and deploy client applications developed using this kit. For your convenience we've provided the version of ant we use.

We use Java, version 1.5, for the CDK. Go to Sun Developer Network if Java 1.5 is not available on your system.
