Taverna tutorial 2014: Advanced Taverna features includes a tutorial on Looping.

Looping in Taverna

Taverna workflows are inherently data-driven workflows, where data returned from one service is pushed directly to downstream services.

This philosophy lets the user focus on how services are connected together, and the Taverna execution takes care of invoking services as soon as the required inputs are ready.

In this dialogue you will see the code generated from the selections in the loop configuration window:

loop = "" + (! (Double.parseDouble(divided) < Double.parseDouble("2")));
if ("true".matches(loop)) {
   Thread.sleep(500);
}

...

This example workflow shows how a nested workflow can be looped using this customized loop script:

count = Integer.parseInt(count) + 1;
loop = ( list.size() < 5 );
