Method Detail

init

public void init()
          throws javax.servlet.ServletException

Description copied from class: MMBaseServlet

The init of an MMBaseServlet checks if MMBase is running. It not then it is started.

Overrides:

init in class MMBaseServlet

doGet

public void doGet(javax.servlet.http.HttpServletRequest req,
                  javax.servlet.http.HttpServletResponse res)
           throws javax.servlet.ServletException,
                  java.io.IOException

Handles a request using the GET method. No communication is handled through GET - this method is for testing whether the servlet is online.

Overrides:

doGet in class MMBaseServlet

Parameters:

req - the HTTP Request object

res - the HTTP Response object

doPost

public void doPost(javax.servlet.http.HttpServletRequest req,
                   javax.servlet.http.HttpServletResponse res)
            throws javax.servlet.ServletException,
                   java.io.IOException

Handles a request using the POST method. Retrieves the value of the 'xml' parameter, and parses the bodfu of that parameter as an xml text. The resulting DOM tree is then passed to the Dove class, which runs the RPCs described in that tree. The result of Dove (also a DOM tree) is returned as xml to the client. The mime type of the result is 'text/xml', unless the 'plain' parameter is set to 'yes', in which case the mime type is 'text/plain'. Specifying a 'pretty' parameter with value 'yes' results in pretty printed xml. Both these parameters are ment for debugging.
XXX: Possibly we want to use xml directly in the body, instead of parameters.
XXX: Daniel suggested using CRC to validate calls. This is not implemented yet.
XXX: We have not yet established how we will use session-info and usercontext.

Overrides:

doPost in class javax.servlet.http.HttpServlet

Parameters:

req - the HTTP Request object

res - the HTTP Response object
