I could add a new file to

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

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

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!

Hi Greg,

I would like to deploy my custom controller together with my tool via toolshed. Is there already a way to do this? What should I add to my tool_dependencies.xml?

I tried something like :

<action type="shell_command"> cd $GALAXY_HOME; wget http://toolshed.g2.bx.psu.edu/repos/pieterlukasse/nist_wrapper/raw-file/tip/...; </action>

But I'm glad this apparently didn't work ;)

Thanks,

Pieter

Meanwhile I added a new file indeed to <galaxy-dist>/lib/galaxy/webapps/galaxy/controllers/ and this works for me. If there is a better/easier/standard way of doing this, please let me know!

Attached my file as example.

Best regards,

Pieter,

As Martin said, a data source tool would be your best approach. This is fairly simple to implement, all you need is a standard tool with no input datasets and one parameter for the CAS registry number. That number gets plugged into a script called in the command tag, e.g.

<command interpreter="python">get_nist.py --cas_id "$input_id" --output "$output_dataset"</command>

Inside get_nist.py, you'll want code that takes the CAS number and builds the URL to get mass spectrometry or other data, then parses the returned information, writing the data to the filename passed in the command line.

One thing to consider is that if you have a free-form text entry field for the CAS number, you may want to add a filter to only allow printable characters, or numbers, or whichever bytes are allowed for those identifiers.

If you'd like specific advice on any of those items, feel free to contact me.

Hello Pieter,

adding a controller to Galaxy's codebase is not possible through the Tool Shed. It would be very unsecure to allow such.

However, reading your code (https://gist.github.com/martenson/7ce1ddb19c199b2df61c) you should be able to convert this controller into an actual tool (data source tool kind) pretty easily and publishing the tool through the Tool Shed should be straight forward afterwards.

Dave Bouvier will get back to you with some tips in the next message.

Thank you for using Galaxy.
