Hi Galaxy developers,<br><br>I&#39;d like to integrate a SOAP-based data resource in Galaxy and I&#39;m exploring ways to manage the SOAP session so that a user won&#39;t have to resubmit their credentials every time they want to pull data.  <br>
<br>Here are things I&#39;ve thought of:<br>1) Wrap an independent web page around the SOAP service and access it via HTTP using Galaxy&#39;s synchronous data depositing.  I could manage session cookies through my site rather than trying to do it with Galaxy.  I&#39;d like to avoid adding an extra layer, however, so then I thought of...<br>
2) Can I set and read cookie attributes from a Galaxy Tool?  If so, I think I could make this work but I don&#39;t see how I can access cookie attributes after reading the docs.  I might be able to do it with some javascript magic, but I also don&#39;t see a way to add arbitrary bits of javascript to a tool page.<br>
3)  I might be able to keep a local table of SOAP credentials tied to the Galaxy Session Id.  However, I&#39;m not sure how/if I can pass the Galaxy session id to my custom tool?<br><br>Any help or pointers would be greatly appreciated!<br>
<br>Thanks,<br> -James<br><br><br clear="all"><br>-- <br>J Ireland<br><a href="http://www.5amsolutions.com">www.5amsolutions.com</a> | Software for Life(TM)<br>m: 415 484-DATA (3282)<br>
