NAME
Webservice::InterMine::Service - an object representation of an Webservice::InterMine Web-Service
SYNOPSIS
use Webservice::InterMine;
my $service = Webservice::InterMine->get_service('www.flymine.org/query/service');
my $query = $service->new_query;
my $template = $service->template('Probe_Genes')
or die "Cannot find template"
# ... do stuff with your query/templateDESCRIPTION
The service object is the portal to the webservice: it provides the model and templates for the objects you want to construct, and is used by the queries to return results. Generally you won't need to interact with it directly, or if you do, the methods you will be most interested in are those that return objects you can use for running queries.
METHODS
new( $url, [$user, $pass] )
A service can be constructed directly by passing a webservice url to the new method. To have access to private data (personal templates, saved queries and lists) you also need to provide login information in the form of a username and password.
root | user | pass
The values passed into the constructor can be accessed via these methods. Note that the url passed in will have a scheme added if none was provided.
new_query
This returns a new query object for you to define by adding constraints and a view to.
template( $name [$roles] )
This checks to see if there is a template of this name in the webservice, and returns it to you if it exists.
model
returns the model for the webservice. This model is required by many modules for checking validity with the webservice database schema. See InterMine::Model
version
Returns the version of the webservice - used for determining compatibility with different query formats. The version is always an integer. An attempt to get the version is made on instantiation, which serves to validate the webservice.
release
Returns the release string of the webservice
