[ome-users] Java interface to XML-RPC

[Harry Hochheiser]

Thomas;

For semantic types that come included in the main OME distribution,  
you're on the right track. In general, i'd suggest the following steps:

1) follow the directions on the OME CVS page (http:// 
cvs.openmicroscopy.org.uk/) and checkout the OME-JAVA package.

2) build the package using ant . Create javadoc documentation with  
"ant apidocs".

3) the ome-java.jar file will contain, under  
org.openmicroscopy.ds.st, classes for the core semantic types.  
Example code illustrating the use of these types is in  
org.openmicroscopy.ds.tests.

If you want to access semantic types that you have defined and added  
to your OME installation, it's a bit more complicated. Since those  
classes aren't known to OME-JAVA, you would have to either (a) use  
the generic facilities available in OME-JAVA or (b) generate your own  
customized version of OME-JAVA, including java code for your new  
semantic types.

If this is what you need to accomplish,  both steps are reasonably  
straightforward. I'm happy to provide further guidance: please let me  
know.
