Soaplab is a generator of web services for accessing command-line programs and other tools. It wraps hundreds of EMBOSS programs and other plugins as SOAP web services. A new release, Soaplab 2.2.0, adds support for "typed services" which define inputs and outputs using WSDL and XSD for better integration with third party tools. Developers can add new command line tools or plugins and Soaplab will generate the corresponding web services.
