Hi, at IU we're looking at various workflow tools and I was wondering whether it is possible to use an external web service as box in a workflow? I recall that Pipeline Pilot can import a WSDL URL and allow one to use the web service as a box in the workflow - can something like this be done in Knime? If not, are there any plans to allow this type of functionality?

Hi Rajarshi, I take this chance and respond to all (as that seems to be of public interest ;-) ). We plan to have certain WebService nodes in KNIME. I doubt that this will be a "one node fits all" solution, to which the user can feed an arbitrary WSDL and that just "works". (How do you deal with webservices that accept arbitrary complex objects as input/output?). We do have some (experimental) nodes that call webservices, for instance from the World Wide Molecular Matrix, http://wwmm.ch.cam.ac.uk/wikis/wwmm/index.php/WWMM_Web_Services. However, these nodes are developed in-house and therefore not available in the public release. So the short answer to your question is: We likely won't have a node that calls a webservice based on a WSDL given at runtime but we shall have support to create customized nodes calling specific webservices. Hope this clarifies things a bit now.
