It is currently not possible in Taverna. It could be done by adding transfer handling for dropping of the appropriate DataFlavor - I think it is stringFlavor. > A second related question to the developers: > Is it possible to have minor improvements be made available in > intermediate updates of Taverna 1 and 2? > You did so for Taverna1, which was very nice. We are currently changing our build mechanism so that we can do snapshots for Taverna that will be downloadable. We also have the updating mechanism via the plugin manager. > * also nice if Web Services could be imported by drag and drop of wsdl > reference strings. But you would need to know that it was the URL to a WSDL rather than a string to be used as a string constant :-) I could be feeding the string constant into a "read file" service and then manipulating the content with an xslt service. It is certainly worth doing - I've created a Jira issue for it. http://www.mygrid.org.uk/dev/issues/browse/T2-464 > Many thanks! > Marco.
