protected static String retrieveSequence(String lsidString)
                                  throws BaseException

This method will retrieve the data from a given LSID. It will resolve the domain of the LSID, check if there is an LSID authority service listed at that domain, check if the authority has a data service, and finally, retrieve the data from that data service. NOTE: It is presumed that the LSID given as a parameter does reference a protein sequence. This method has no way of telling if the data referenced by an LSID is a sequence or not, it will just return whatever data is served by the authority service.

Parameters:

lsidString - the LSID to be resolved

Returns:

the data referenced by the LSID

Throws:

CoreException - if for some reason the no data was obtained

BaseException
