Hi:
I would like to apologize if this Topic(or something similar)
has already been discussed in this forum.
One of the major software programs that we run is something called "Blast".
This is a program that is run through a Unix command line interface and takes two
parameters, an input string sequence(a text
file) and a search Database. The Database in this case is a flat-file
or just comma-delimited text. The Database(s) contain gene sequences
identified by Scientists at various locations including NIH.
The program then compares the sequence that is fed in with the target
Database (which can be several at one time). If there is a perfect
match, the program returns a text file with the Database name and the
record against which there was a perfect match. If not, the program
returns another text file that identifies the Mismatches and Missing
Values in Strings that were compared.
The problem Users face at this time is having to go back to generate the
sequence if they need to look at the result of a match(saving an output
file separately does not give a clear perspective to the user and
because of the volume of such runs would generate an unholy number of
files).
Can an EJB model address this problem?
Can the Containers of Vendors such as Weblogic deal with a Flat-file database in any
form?
Are there any other suggestions to address this problem?
Any insight would help tremendously.
Many thanks.
