Apache Taverna Common Activities (incubating) provides the plugins for invoking common activity types from Taverna Engine, including support for REST and WSDL web services, Beanshell scripts, command line tools and user interaction.
Maven artifacts¶
Apache Taverna Common Activities are available from
Maven Central,
mirrored from
ASF's Maven repository.
For the convenience of IDE users, the Maven artifacts include -javadoc.jar
and
-sources.jar
; however, you might prefer the
online API javadoc
and the source code releases (see below).
To use Taverna Common Activities with Maven, add
one or more of these to your pom.xml
:
<dependencies> <dependency> <groupId>org.apache.taverna.commonactivities</groupId> <artifactId>taverna-beanshell-activity</artifactId> <version>2.1.0-incubating</version> </dependency> <dependency> <groupId>org.apache.taverna.commonactivities</groupId> <artifactId>taverna-external-tool-activity</artifactId> <version>2.1.0-incubating</version> </dependency> <dependency> <groupId>org.apache.taverna.commonactivities</groupId> <artifactId>taverna-interaction-activity</artifactId> <version>2.1.0-incubating</version> </dependency> <dependency> <groupId>org.apache.taverna.commonactivities</groupId> <artifactId>taverna-rest-activity</artifactId> <version>2.1.0-incubating</version> </dependency> <dependency> <groupId>org.apache.taverna.commonactivities</groupId> <artifactId>taverna-spreadsheet-import-activity</artifactId> <version>2.1.0-incubating</version> </dependency> <dependency> <groupId>org.apache.taverna.commonactivities</groupId> <artifactId>taverna-wsdl-activity</artifactId> <version>2.1.0-incubating</version> </dependency> <dependency> <groupId>org.apache.taverna.commonactivities</groupId> <artifactId>taverna-wsdl-generic</artifactId> <version>2.1.0-incubating</version> </dependency> <dependency> <groupId>org.apache.taverna.commonactivities</groupId> <artifactId>taverna-xpath-activity</artifactId> <version>2.1.0-incubating</version> </dependency> </dependencies>
The above <version>
might not be up-to-date.
See the source code releases below to find the latest version.
In addition, taverna-wsdl-generic
can be used as an independent library for
parsing WSDL definitions
and invoking WSDL-described SOAP services.
Spring services¶
The activities are all OSGi services, registering with
Taverna Engine's
ActivityService, which
should be discoverable as a Spring service,
e.g. by adding the following code to
your META-INF/spring/update-context-osgi.xml
:
<beans:beans xmlns="http://www.springframework.org/schema/osgi" xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xmlns:beans="http://www.springframework.org/schema/beans" xsi:schemaLocation="http://www.springframework.org/schema/beans http://www.springframework.org/schema/beans/spring-beans.xsd http://www.springframework.org/schema/osgi http://www.springframework.org/schema/osgi/spring-osgi.xsd"> <reference id="activityService" interface="org.apache.taverna.platform.capability.api.ActivityService" /> </beans:beans>
