Description

As reported by Daniele Tartarini to dev@taverna, the Taverna Command Line does not pass on "-inputfile" parameters as File (or URL) instances, but rather they are read into memory and then registered fresh.

In conjuction with the Tool activity using Files this mean the file is copied twice.

setValue() in InputsHandler supports File and URL forwarded on to
DataBundles.setReference() - so this should be used instead.
