All Implemented Interfaces:

java.io.Serializable, javax.servlet.Servlet, javax.servlet.ServletConfig

public final class StatusServlet

extends javax.servlet.http.HttpServlet

HTTP interface to the ADL status service. The status service can be accessed by a simple HTTP GET request.

Service exceptions are caught and returned as HTTP errors. In particular, BadRequestException is mapped to 400 (bad request), NoAuthorizationException is mapped to 403 (forbidden), and InternalErrorException is mapped to 500 (internal server error).

$Log: StatusServlet.java,v $ Revision 1.5 2004/03/02 22:01:48 gjanee
If the middleware_configuration_file servlet initialization parameter is not available, we now look for it as a context-wide initialization parameter.

Revision 1.4 2001/11/16 17:41:33 gjanee
Internationalization support. All returned data now uses UTF-8 encoding.

Revision 1.3 2001/10/04 18:31:26 gjanee
To support the middleware being a web application, we now allow the location of the middleware configuration file to be specified relative to the web application directory.

Revision 1.2 2001/02/15 18:36:46 gjanee
Minor upgrade to servlet API 2.2.
