The retrieve Service Method

The retrieve method is used to get information the instance solution. This method has a single string argument which is an OSoL instance. Here is an example of using the retrieve method with OSSolverService.

./OSSolverService -config ../data/configFiles/testremoteRetrieve.config

The testremoteRetrieve.config file is

-serviceLocation http://gsbkip.chicagogsb.edu/os/OSSolverService.jws
-osol ../data/osolFiles/retrieve.osol
-serviceMethod retrieve
-osrl /home/kmartin/temp/test.osrl

and the retrieve.osol file is

The OSoL file retrieve.osol contains a tag <jobID> that is communicated to the remote service. The remove service locates the result and returns it as a string. The string that is returned is an OSrL instance. The user must modify the line

-osrl /home/kmartin/temp/test.osrl

to reflect a valid path for their own machine. Also, the <jobID> should reflect a <jobID> that was previously submitted. The send() and retrieve() <jobID> must match up.
