list:

http://hostname:8080/age/list - displays a list of computation types
http://hostname:8080/age/list/computationtype - displays a list of computation instances of given computationtype; example: http://localhost:8080/age/list/myemas ; Function available also after choosing the link with computationtype name.
http://hostname:8080/age/list/computationtype/computationinstance - displays a list of gatherer of the given computation instance; example: http://localhost:8080/age/list/myemas/1377243932882 ; Function available also after choosing the link with computationinstance name.
http://hostname:8080/age/list/computationtype/computationinstance/gatherername - displays a data saved by pointed gatherer. example: http://localhost:8080/age/list/myemas/1377243932882/fitness ; Function available also after choosing the link "display data" nearby gatherer name.
http://hostname:8080/age/list/computationtype/*/gatherername - displays all gatherer with a given name in every computation run. example: http://localhost:8080/age/list/myemas/*/fitness

http://hostname:8080/age/list/computationtype/last - displays a list of gatherer of the last computation ; example: http://localhost:8080/age/list/myemas/last ; Function available also after choosing the link "last" in proper computation type.

show:

http://hostname:8080/age/show/computationtype/computationinstance/gatherername ; example: http://hostname:8080/age/show/myemas/1377243932882/fitness ; Function available also after choosing the link show single nearby gatherer name.
http://hostname:8080/age/show/computationtype/computationinstance ; example: http://hostname:8080/age/show/myemas/1377243932882 ; Function available also after choosing the link show all placed above gatherer names.
http://hostname:8080/age/show/computationtype/computationinstance/?stats=n1,n2 ; example: http://hostname:8080/age/show/myemas/1377243932882/?stats=1,2 ; Function available also after checking proper checkboxes and choosing button Show checked.

It is recommended to use command show via web application interface.
