If it's any help, you can see what IDs the DAS source is providing by
doing this:
// construct your DASSequenceDB (dasDB) object as you did before
Set ids = dasDB.ids();
// Does the set contain Q12345?
if (ids.contains("Q12345")) {
System.out.println("Yes, it does!");
} else {
System.out.println("No, it doesn't!");
}
// Iterate through the set and print them all out
for (Iterator i = ids.iterator(); i.hasNext(); ) {
System.out.println((String)i.next());
}
Hopefully you will be able to find out whats going on by investigating
the contents of this set.

yields the result I am looking for.
I assume I am not using DASSequenceDB and DASSequence correctly. I have
not found any JUnit tests so I have no reference code. Could someone
please assist?
On a general basis: Is the DAS client in BioJava mature? Can it handle
all the major DAS-servers for proteins/genes?
Thanks,
