Apache Taverna Server (incubating) is a REST/WSDL web service for executing Apache Taverna (incubating) workflows.

Taverna workflows are defined using Apache Taverna Language.

Source code¶

Below you can find the latest Taverna Server source release.

After downloading the files, verify the PGP signatures using the Apache Taverna KEYS file.

After unpacking, follow the build instructions. See the Taverna Server documentation for details of installation, configuration and usage.

taverna-server-3.1.0-incubating¶

Apache Taverna Server 3.1.0-incubating was published on 2018-01-17, and is available for download from official mirrors of the ASF Distribution Directory incubator/taverna/:

taverna-server-3.1.0-incubating-source-release.zip (asc, md5, sha1, sha256, sha512)

The Taverna Server changelog is available from the Apache Taverna Jira.

Note that when building Taverna Server, it will require other Taverna modules:

Source code repositories¶

For the latest developments you may also be interested in the corresponding source code repositories:

incubator-taverna-server

Each release has a corresponding tag, e.g. 3.1.0-incubating.

Maven artifacts¶

Apache Taverna Server's Maven artifacts 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 any Taverna Server modules with Maven, add one or more of these to your pom.xml:

Client-side¶

To complement the Taverna Server, we have developed several client side libraries and applications.

They access the Server's functionality and can help you build your client applications around the Server and provide exemplars of how such applications can be implemented.

taverna-server-client - a Java client library for Taverna Server's REST API, included in the taverna-server release.
Taverna Language - Java API for building and inspecting Taverna 3 workflows.
Taverna Mobile - an Android app for executing Taverna workflows

Third-party applications¶

These third-party applications use or interact with Taverna Server, but are not published or endorsed by Apache Taverna:

Taverna Player - a generic Rails engine for Taverna workflows
Taverna Player portal - a web portal for running Taverna workflows
t2-server-gem a Ruby gem for interacting with Taverna Server
t2-server-jar an older Java library to interact with Taverna Server
workflow-runner a Clojure library for Taverna Server that can also re-expose runs as a Research Object ROSRS API
BioVeL-seek a customized portal for running biodiversity workflows in Taverna Server

Archived releases¶

For all archived Apache Taverna releases, see archive.apache.org.

The source code for Taverna Server before migrating to Apache Software Foundation (Taverna 2.5 and earlier) is available as a series of old/ tags in the git repository, e.g. old/2.5.4.

Note that Taverna 2.5 and older is licensed under LGPL 2.1.

Binary downloads for older releases are available from LaunchPad's archive, for instance Taverna Server 2.5.4 which you may need for executing some Taverna 2 .t2flow workflows.
