Metacat

removed extraneous protected tags and replaced them with private tags

Modified behavior of handleSQuery() to now send the resultset document
back to the client application -- this was a bug introduced by recent
changes to the servlet. Also, generally cleaned up the servlet to
produce cleaner documentation and removed some extraneous code and remarks....

decrease the number of "initialConnections" to 5, "increaseConnections" stay 5, decrease the "maximumConnections" to 10

Changed release to version to alpha 8 (1.0a8) and tagged metacat in
CVS as METACAT_ALPHA_8

Updated default html forms for metacat queries to use the "anyfield"
keyword for constructing a default query. This should now work with
the new handleQuery method of MetaCatServlet.

changed to work with the new MetaCatServlet model. marineServlet now only overwrites one method in MetaCatServlet.

changed the prototype of overwritable functions to "protected" instead of "private".

change the resultset format for DataGuide

Changed the flow of query and SQuery. SQuery now only handles a preformatted pathquery document as input (in the "query" parameter).
HandleQuery now handles all structured queries derived by CGI parameters.

Made changes to createSQuery to allow for multiple parameters of the same name. Also changed the param list to include only "Hashtable params" without a "String doctype" since the doctype is already contained in the params.
