Re: [Soaplab-users] How to add limits in ACD ?

[Martin S. <mar...@gm...>]

Hi,

I would like to add some limits to user inputs.


A lot depends of what is the meant by the user inputs. For the examples you
mentioned:


> Max number of sequences

Max sequence length
>

If these maximums are values of the command-line options, Soaplab should be
able to define it in the ACD files. But I am not sure now if this kind of
validation was already implemented.

But it is likely that you think rather about limits of the contents of an
input file. One can limit it by writing her/his own data input adapter. But
even with an adapter, the original input is transmitted anyway to the
Soaplab service - whcih may be what you want to avoid. In such case, Soaplab
cannot help - it must be validated on the client size.


> Max upload size


The only file uploading in Soaplab2 is in the Spinet web interface. At the
moment, it does not provide a property that can limit the size of the
uploaded size, but it would be very easy to add it there. It is a good idea,
and I will do it (but not in the next two weeks - I will be on a conference
and on a vacation in the remote parts of Asia).

Cheers,
Martin
