Converted entry.getValue() to string before submitting it to sendAlignmentRequest because it won’t catch the DNASequence version.

Also, it keeps giving this error due to a bug in the biojava code: java.lang.Exception: The key named PROGRAM is not set in this RemoteQBlastOutputProperties object

Hi,

Thanks for the input. I’ll look into this ASAP.

HI,

Ok, here goes:

Your first bug might be related to the fact that in my example code, you read a file with ProteinSequences in an array and ProteinSequence objects are what is expected here:

`           for (Entry`<String, ProteinSequence>` entry : a.entrySet()) {`  
`               System.out.println( entry.getValue().getOriginalHeader() + "\n");`  
`               request = rbw.sendAlignmentRequest(entry.getValue(),rqb);`  
`               rid.add(request);           }`

If you are using DNASequences, you need to do this:

```java for (Entry<String, DNASequence> entry : a.entrySet()) {

               System.out.println( entry.getValue().getOriginalHeader() + "\n");
               request = rbw.sendAlignmentRequest(entry.getValue(),rqb);
               rid.add(request);           }

```

I can tell you this works a-ok :-)

The second thing is a bug in the code that I have now fixed in the biojava-live svn. Please give it a try and let me know if it works. It does for me…

Hi,

It works now with the fixed biojava-live svn. For some odd reason that also fixed the first bug. I only had to give rqb a blank setAdvancedOptions otherwise that would give a new error.

Sorry for ruining this wiki discussion page with these posts that are obviously not done the correct way, i am new to this ;)

Thanks for your quick response and fix.

The setAdvancedOptions workaround was actually showing a bug in the way I dealt with the field in the first place… I fixed it in the biojava-live svn tree. BTW, using the discussion section of the page is a perfect use of the wiki, but don’t forget to also use the mailing list for flagging problems to us, the developers.

Btw no 2: my pleasure. Only via your feedbacks can we improve on this code :-)

I am getting the very same problem (The key named PROGRAM is not set in this RemoteQBlastOutputProperties object) with the legacy (/wiki/BioJava 1.8) version of this example. I don’t know how to fix this.

Fixed by using

           RemotePairwiseAlignmentProperties rqb = new RemoteQBlastAlignmentProperties();
           rqb.setAlignementOption("PROGRAM", "blastn");
           rqb.setAlignementOption("DATABASE", "nr");
           rqb.setAlignementOption("OTHER_ADVANCED", "");

instead of

       RemoteQBlastAlignmentProperties rqb = new RemoteQBlastAlignmentProperties();
       rqb.setBlastProgram("blastn");
       rqb.setBlastDatabase("nr");
