| <<< Previous | RefEntry Servlet Design | Next >>> |
The servlet is built using Ant. Source files are formatted during the build using the stylesheets provided. The build process serializes the RefEntryBackEnd for the servlet so the servlet is completely self contained for initialization. Everything is in the servlet WAR file. Because it is self-contained, the servlet can be rebuilt from its own contents. Because it loads everything into memory at initialization time, the servlet is also less susceptible to file system corruption while it runs, though memory corruption could conceivably ruin it easily, and servlets containing many, many documents could use significant amounts of memory.
The servlet WAR file includes the following content.
