Download Taverna Common Activities

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>

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>
