[Soaplab-users] Soaplab2 Outfile question

[John S R. <J.S...@so...>]

Hi,

I've been scratching my head over this for a couple of days, so I'm hoping 
someone can give a clue...

I have two python scripts that I'd like to wrap using soaplab2.  At the 
simplest level, they both produce text/csv output files in the working 
directory.  The parameter 'resfile' is used to determine the name of the 
output file.  Here's the relevant extract from the ACD file:

outfile: resfile [
comment: "mimetype text/csv"
template: "resfile=$$"
extension: "csv"
additional: "Y"
default: foo.csv"
]

Both ACD files are identical with the exception of the executable name, both 
are correctly converted to XML and are deployed and executed correctly, but 
while app1 returns foo.csv as expected, app2 does not.

For app1, I can see that the results in 
tomcat/temp/_R_/SANDBOX/[app1]/<UID>/o_resfilecsv

However, app2 produces tomcat/temp/_R_/SANDBOX/[app2]/<UID>/foo.csv
and the result is never returned, despite the content being as expected and 
the script returning 0;

I think I need to better understand how soaplab operates on output files.  Is 
this covered somewhere in the documentation in more detail than in the 
Metadata guide?

Thanks in advance,

JohnR.
