/**

 * 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=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>

 * action=getdocument -- display an XML document in XML or HTML<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>

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

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

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

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

 * action=getdatadoc -- retreive a stored datadocument<br>

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

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

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

 * <p>

 * The particular combination of parameters that are valid for each 

 * particular action value is quite specific.  This documentation

 * will be reorganized to reflect this information.
