IO Web Services

    {info} Input/Output (IO) Web Services provide methods for

    • converting molecules to different chemical file formats,
    • analyzing molecule string and defining its file format,
    • preparing molecule file for download,
    • collecting properties from molecule.

    This documentation describes installation, administration and usage of IO Web Services.

    IO Web Services make possible to reach the functionality provided by ChemAxon's toolkit Input and Output System.

    IO Web Services application is available in two modes:

    1. As part of a microservices system

    2. As a standalone web application

    Microservices system mode

    In microservices system mode the IO Web Service runs together with Config service, Discovery service and Gateway service. These three services are mandatory and optionally other services can also be part of the system. All configuration must be done in the Config module.

    The default configuration applies to the microservices system mode.

    The web application runs on host <server-host> and listens on port <gateway-server-port>.

    Standalone web application mode

    In standalone web application mode the IO Web Service runs alone, without the Config service, Discovery service and Gateway service (however the installer installs them, as well).

    The default configuration must be changed according to the standalone web application mode; set

    eureka.client.enabled=false in application.properties file, and

    spring.cloud.config.failFast=false and spring.cloud.config.enabled=false in bootstrap.properties file.

    All configuration must be done in the IO module.

    The web application runs on host <server-host> and listens on port <server-port>.

    Configuration

    Default configuration:

    application.properties
    server.port=8061
    logging.file.name=../logs/jws-io.log
    eureka.client.enabled=true set eureka.client.enabled=false to switch to standalone IO Web Services application mode
    bootstrap.properties
    spring.cloud.config.failFast=true
    spring.cloud.config.uri=${CONFIG_SERVER_URI:http\://localhost\:8888/}
    spring.cloud.config.retry.initialInterval=3000
    spring.cloud.config.retry.multiplier=1.2
    spring.cloud.config.retry.maxInterval=60000
    spring.cloud.config.retry.maxAttempts=100

    For more settings possibilities see spring documentation page.

    Running the server

    Prerequisites in case of microservices system mode:

    1. Config service is running

    2. Discovery service is running

    3. Gateway service is running

    Run the service in command line in folder jws/jws-io:

    jws-io-service start (on Windows)

    jws- io -service start (on Linux)

    or

    run-jws- io .exe (on Windows)

    run-jws- io (on Linux)
