-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 We're not suggesting adding a "polling tool"; instead the suggestion was that your "WSDL tool generator" generate the XML tool definition and a wrapper script. That wrapper script would handle whatever WSDL operation it was created for, polling, and collection of results (ALL IN ONE). Since polling is a WSDL specific operation as you say, this would solve that, as every generated tool would have code to submit+poll+collect. Conditionals and loops would generate /many/ "empty" jobs saying "your results are not done yet", which would not lend themselves to inclusion in workflows. galaxy workflow loops are probably not the best way to solve this particular problem. Additionally, If you write your WSDL tool generator in such a way that the generated tools handles the entire process: from submission to retrieval of results, then they could be used in workflows and used with the existing infrastructure, and jobs down the line could depend on the output of your generated tools.

The tool is generic. This means that it is supposed to work (and does work) with any WSDL. In the described use case, one of the operations/“generated tools" already serves as a polling tool: it takes a unique id and requests a result from the web service, then the web service either returns the results or returns a message indicating that the results are not ready. Conditionals/Loops would be a perfect way to solve this.
If we added a polling tool like you described, then that tool would need to Web service specific since not all web service adhere to the same naming conventions and level of asynchrony.

While I agree that would work, the tool I'm working with generates tools for web operations in a generic fashion. That is, you provide it a WDSL and a list of operations you want from that WSDL, and then tool XML files are generated for each of those operations.
So could your "WDSL Galaxy Tool Factory" also produce a wrapper script to go with the Galaxy Tool XML, where the wrapper script handles polling the service with the unique identifier assigned by the service?
