Services Available to test

The three text web services and the testing webpage are now available at

http://130.88.90.134:8080/TextServices/

This page has a link to the extraordinarily simple userguide, links to the 3 wsdl documents for the web services and links to 3 taverna workflows that you can use to invoke the services.

If you want to submit a pdf to the SOAP interface of the text extraction service it must be submitted as a String of binary encoded as Base64.
I use the commons-codec Java class Base64 for this. It is very simple to use.
Or you can use the Taverna base64 encoder and decoders, these work fine as well and don't require any programming.
