Class DTSServlet

java.lang.Object

javax.servlet.GenericServlet

javax.servlet.http.HttpServlet

opendap.servlet.AbstractServlet

opendap.dts.DTSServlet

All Implemented Interfaces:

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

public class DTSServlet
extends opendap.servlet.AbstractServlet

Purpose:
This is the OPeNDAP Test servlet (dts). It allows the owner of the server to deliver data in ANY valid DDS to a client. This DDS will be filled with invented data if the client requests a DataDDS. This kind of test fixture is useful for evaluating a clients ability to handle the various complexities of the OPeNDAP data types.

Configuration:
The AbstractServlet relies on the javax.servlet.ServletConfig interface (in particular the getInitParameter() method) to retrieve configuration information used by the servlet. InitParameters:

• DebugOn - This controls ouput to the terminal from which the servlet engine was launched. The value is a list of flags that turn on debugging instrumentation in different parts of the code. Values are:
  • showRequest - Show information about the clients request.
  • showResponse - Show information about the servlets response.
  • probeRequest - Show an exhaustive amount of information about the clients request object.


• INFOcache - This is should be set to the directory containing the files used by the ".info" service for the servlet. This directory should contain any dataset specific "over-ride" files (see below), any dataset specific additional information files (see below), and any servlet specific information files(see below).


• DDScache - This is should be set to the directory containing the DDS files for the datasets used by the servlet. Some servlets have been developed that do not use DDS's that are cached on the disk, however the default behaviour is for the servlet to load DDS images from disk.


• DAScache - This is should be set to the directory containing the DAS files for the datasets used by the servlet. Some servlets have been developed that do not use DAS's that are cached on the disk, however the default behaviour is for the servlet to load DAS images from disk.

Here is an example entry from the web.xml file (for tomcat3.3a) for the OPeNDAP Test Server (DTS):

DTSServlet

public DTSServlet()

************************************************************************ Intitializes the servlet. Init (at this time) basically sets up the object opendap.util.util.Debug from the debuggery flags in the servlet InitParameters. The Debug object can be referenced (with impunity) from anywhere in the VM.

Method Detail

getRootPath

public java.lang.String getRootPath()

Getter function for rootpath

Overrides:

getRootPath in class opendap.servlet.AbstractServlet

Returns:

rootpath

getServerVersion

public java.lang.String getServerVersion()

This method returns a String containing the OPeNDAP Server Version...

Specified by:

getServerVersion in class opendap.servlet.AbstractServlet

getDataset

protected opendap.servlet.GuardedDataset getDataset(opendap.servlet.ReqState rs)
                                             throws opendap.dap.DAP2Exception,

                                                    opendap.dap.parsers.ParseException

************************************************************************ This method must be implemented locally for each OPeNDAP server. The local implementation of this method is the key piece for connecting any localized data types that are derived from the opendap.Server types back into the running servlet.

This method should do the following:

• Make a new ServerFactory (aka BaseTypeFactory) for the dataset requested.
• Instantiate a ServerDDS using the ServerFactory and populate it (this could be accomplished by just opening a (cached?) DDS in a file and parsing it)
• Return this freshly minted ServerDDS object (to the servlet code where it is used.)

Specified by:

getDataset in class opendap.servlet.AbstractServlet

Parameters:

rs - The ReqState object for this particular client request.

Returns:

The ServerDDS object all parsed and ready to roll.

probeRequest

public void probeRequest(java.io.PrintStream ps,
                         opendap.servlet.ReqState rs)

This is a bit of instrumentation that I kept around to let me look at the state of the incoming HttpServletRequest from the client. This method calls the get* methods of the request and prints the results to standard out.

Parameters:

ps - The PrintStream to send output.

rs - The ReqState object to probe.

getServerName

public java.lang.String getServerName()

In this (default) implementation of the getServerName() method we just get the name of the servlet and pass it back. If something different is required, override this method when implementing the getDDS() and getServerVersion() methods.

This is typically used by the getINFO() method to figure out if there is information specific to this server residing in the info directory that needs to be returned to the client as part of the .info rs.getResponse().

Overrides:

getServerName in class opendap.servlet.AbstractServlet

Returns:

A string containing the name of the servlet class that is running.

doGet

public void doGet(javax.servlet.http.HttpServletRequest request,
                  javax.servlet.http.HttpServletResponse response)

Handles incoming requests from clients. Parses the request and determines what kind of OPeNDAP response the client is requesting. If the request is understood, then the appropriate handler method is called, otherwise an error is returned to the client.

This method is the entry point for DTSServlet.

Overrides:

doGet in class opendap.servlet.AbstractServlet

Parameters:

request - The client's HttpServletRequest request object.

response - The server's HttpServletResponse response object.

ReqState

getRequestState

protected opendap.servlet.ReqState getRequestState(javax.servlet.http.HttpServletRequest request,
