org.vfny.geoserver

Contains all interface servlets, one for each WFS response.

This appears out of date. Appears to have tomcat and execption handling 12/17/03 dz.

GeoServer Exception revolves around the ability of ServiceException to turn itself into a propert XML response document.

We have chosen to embed a version of Tomcat to provide an easier setup process for new users.

The work flow for this kind of objects is divided in two parts: the first is executing a request and the second writing the result to an OuputStream.

1. Execute: execute(Request)
   • Executing the request means taking a Request object and, based on it's set of request parameters, do any heavy processing necessary to produce the response.
   • Once the execution has been made, the Response object should be ready to send the response content to an output stream with minimal risk of generating an exception.
   • Anyway, it is not required, even recomended, that the execution process generates the response content itself; just that it performs any query or processing that should generate a trapable error.
   • Execute may throw a ServiceException if they wish to supply a specific response in error.
