== Requirements ==

 1. Access to a BASE server with web services
 2. Java 1.6 or later.
 3. Ant 1.6 or later.

== Introduction ==

This package contains some simple web services examples. 

== Installation and use ==

 1. Unpack the tar.gz file to a directory of your choice. 
 2. Modify 'build.xml' and enter connection options:
    * services.url 
      The URL to the BASE web server. It should be the same URL as you use to login
      with the web interface with '/services' appended to it. For example:
      http://localhost:8080/base2/services
    * services.login
      The username for your account on the BASE web server.
    * services.password
      Your password for the BASE web server.
    * download.dir
      Set this option to a valid directory path to enable download of raw data from 
      all raw bioassays. NOTE! Be careful with this option if you have a lot of data.
      All files from all raw bioassay will be downloaded!
  3. Run `ant test` to run the example code
    
You may also override the connection options on the command line. Use one or
several `-D` options when starting Ant (on one line): 

`ant -Dservices.url=http://localhost/base/services 
 -Dservices.login=mylogin -Dservices.password=mypassword
 -Ddownload.dir=.`

== Compiling ==

Type `ant` to compile the code.

Type `ant package` to create a download downloadable tar.gz package in the project
    directory.
