Bio::Phylo::PhyloWS::Service::Tolweb - PhyloWS service wrapper for Tree of Life

NAME

Bio::Phylo::PhyloWS::Service::Tolweb - PhyloWS service wrapper for Tree of Life

SYNOPSIS

 # inside a CGI script:
 use CGI;
 use Bio::Phylo::PhyloWS::Service::Tolweb;

 my $cgi = CGI->new;
 my $service = Bio::Phylo::PhyloWS::Service::Tolweb->new( '-url' => $url );
 $service->handle_request($cgi);

DESCRIPTION

This is an example implementation of a PhyloWS service. The service wraps around the tree of life XML service and returns project objects that include the focal node (identified by its PhyloWS ID) and the nearest child and parent nodes that have web pages.

METHODS

ACCESSORS

get_record()

Gets a tolweb record by its id

 Type    : Accessor
 Title   : get_record
 Usage   : my $record = $obj->get_record( -guid => $guid );
 Function: Gets a tolweb record by its id
 Returns : Bio::Phylo::Project
 Args    : Required: -guid => $guid
 Comments: The guid is of the form 'tree/Tolweb:\d+'
get_redirect()

Gets a redirect URL if relevant

 Type    : Accessor
 Title   : get_redirect
 Usage   : my $url = $obj->get_redirect;
 Function: Gets a redirect URL if relevant
 Returns : String
 Args    : $cgi
 Comments: This method is called by handle_request so that
           services can 303 redirect a record lookup to 
           another URL. By default, this method returns 
           undef (i.e. no redirect), but if this implementation
           is called to handle a request that specifies 
           'format=html' the request is forwarded to the
           appropriate page on the http://tolweb.org website
