I could add a new file to

 

<galaxy-dist>/lib/galaxy/webapps/galaxy/controllers/

 

...is that a good way to do it?

Subject: [galaxy-dev] Adding a new web-service or perhaps a "webapp" to Galaxy

 

Hi,

 

In one of my tools I generate a HTML report which I would like to enhance with some ajax functionality. I would like the possibility to do some backend computations based on the ajax requests.

 

My question is: is there an easy way to add a new web-service to my Galaxy server? The web-service implementation would be in python. Ideally I would like to be able to ship this python file together with my tool via tool shed (and when installing from toolshed, the necessary configurations are applied to the server to enable this python code as a local web-service on the respective Galaxy server).

 

Thanks!
