You're right. Our Java client is just used for pre-processing the raw NGS data, extracting read start information from mapped NGS data (since we do not want users to upload gigabyte-sized BAM/SAM files). We are using Dancer as lightweight interface between the client and the effective (Perl and R-based) statistics tools, ie. our Dancer application controls calculation statistics and post-processing jobs submitted to the grid engine cluster and does the session handling and backend stuff. It the tool gets adopted by the scientific community, we will publish a RESTful API for our transcription start site annotation web service.
