public class DescribeRepositoryServlet
extends SpringAccessServlet
implements Constants

Implements the "describeRepository" functionality of the Fedora Access LITE (API-A-LITE) interface using a java servlet front end. The syntax defined by API-A-LITE has for getting a description of the repository has the following binding:

1. describeRepository URL syntax: protocol://hostname:port/fedora/describe[?xml=BOOLEAN] This syntax requests information about the repository. 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.
• 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.
