/**

 * A metadata catalog server implemented as a Java Servlet

 *

 * <p>

 * Valid parameters are: <br>

 * action=query -- query the values of all elements and attributes and return a

 * result set of nodes <br>

 * action=squery -- structured query (see pathquery.dtd) <br>

 * action= -- export a zip format for data packadge <br>

 * action=read -- read any metadata/data file from Metacat and from Internet

 * <br>

 * action=insert -- insert an XML document into the database store <br>

 * action=update -- update an XML document that is in the database store <br>

 * action=delete -- delete an XML document from the database store <br>

 * action=validate -- vallidate the xml contained in valtext <br>

 * doctype -- document type list returned by the query (publicID) <br>

 * qformat=xml -- display resultset from query in XML <br>

 * qformat=html -- display resultset from query in HTML <br>

 * qformat=zip -- zip resultset from query <br>

 * docid=34 -- display the document with the document ID number 34 <br>

 * doctext -- XML text of the document to load into the database <br>

 * acltext -- XML access text for a document to load into the database <br>

 * dtdtext -- XML DTD text for a new DTD to load into Metacat XML Catalog <br>

 * query -- actual query text (to go with 'action=query' or 'action=squery')

 * <br>

 * valtext -- XML text to be validated <br>

 * action=getaccesscontrol -- retrieve acl info for Metacat document <br>

 * action=getdoctypes -- retrieve all doctypes (publicID) <br>

 * action=getdtdschema -- retrieve a DTD or Schema file <br>

 * action=getdataguide -- retrieve a Data Guide <br>

 * action=getprincipals -- retrieve a list of principals in XML <br>

 * datadoc -- data document name (id) <br>

 * action=getlog -- get a report of events that have occurred in the system<br>

 * ipAddress --  filter on one or more IP addresses<br>

 * principal -- filter on one or more principals (LDAP DN syntax)<br>

 * docid -- filter on one or more document identifiers (with revision)<br>

 * event -- filter on event type (e.g., read, insert, update, delete)<br>

 * start -- filter out events before the start date-time<br>

 * end -- filter out events before the end date-time<br>

 * The particular combination of parameters that are valid for each particular
