public class GetNextPIDServlet
extends SpringManagementServlet
implements Constants

Implements the "getNextPID" functionality of the Fedora Management LITE (API-M-LITE) interface using a java servlet front end. The syntax defined by API-M-LITE for getting a list of the next available PIDs has the following binding:

1. getNextPID URL syntax: protocol://hostname:port/fedora/management/getNextPID[?numPIDs=NUMPIDS&namespace=NAMESPACE&xml=BOOLEAN] This syntax requests a list of next available PIDS. The parameter numPIDs determines the number of requested PIDS to generate. If omitted, numPIDs defaults to 1. The namespace parameter determines the namespace to be used in generating the PIDs. If omitted, namespace defaults to the namespace defined in the fedora.fcfg configuration file for the parameter pidNamespace. The xml parameter determines the type of output returned. If the parameter is omitted or has a value of "false", a MIME-typed stream consisting of an html table is returned providing a browser-savvy means of viewing the object profile. If the value specified is "true", then a MIME-typed stream consisting of XML is returned.
• protocol - either http or https.
• hostname - required hostname of the Fedora server.
• port - required port number on which the Fedora server is running.
• fedora - required name of the Fedora access service.
• describe - required verb of the Fedora service.
• numPIDs - an optional parameter indicating the number of PIDs to be generated. If omitted, it defaults to 1.
• namespace - an optional parameter indicating the namesapce to be used in generating the PIDs. If omitted, it defaults to the namespace defined in the fedora.fcfg configuration file for the parameter pidNamespace.
• xml - an optional parameter indicating the requested output format. A value of "true" indicates a return type of text/xml; the absence of the xml parameter or a value of "false" indicates format is to be text/html.

           throws javax.servlet.ServletException,
                  IOException

Process the Fedora API-M-LITE request to generate a list of next available PIDs. Parse and validate the servlet input parameters and then execute the specified request.

Overrides:

doGet in class javax.servlet.http.HttpServlet

Parameters:

request - The servlet request.

response - servlet The servlet response.

Throws:

javax.servlet.ServletException - If an error occurs that effects the servlet's basic operation.

IOException - If an error occurrs with an input or output operation.

getNextPID

public void getNextPID(Context context,
                       int numPIDs,
                       String namespace,
                       boolean xml,
                       javax.servlet.http.HttpServletResponse response)
