If you have a closer look at the
WSDL file describing the ChromA
webservice, you can see two methods belonging together.
request_orig and
response_orig
Bioinformatic programs often
perform computation on large data sets and therefore require
much CPU time. This can cause problems like http connection
timeouts (usually after 5 minutes) during online usage. To
avoid such problems when using ChromA WebService we use a
technique called
Request and Reply with polling based on
BiBiWS. First the client side (e.g. your program) requests a
ChromA job submitting the necessary data (parameter and data)
and gets an
id after the job is started. Afterwards the
client can request the result by calling the corresponding
response method with the
id returned earlier. If the
ChromA job is not finished, the user gets a status code with an
enhanced description of current status back (see
HOBIT status
codes for more information).
request_orig
The request_orig method ... (see table below for
an example param array - default values in bold) and returns
either a unique id or in case of an error a fault message.

| file1 |
soapenc:base64Binary |
First file compressed with GZip and Base64 encoded |
| filename1 |
soapenc:string |
Filename of file1 without path prefix, but with endings
.gz.b64 |
| file2 |
soapenc:base64Binary |

response_orig
The response_orig method gets the id returned by
the request method as input parameter and returns the
calculated result as a base64 encoded zip-Archive.
