[MKSearch-dev] Week 16 round up

[Phil Shaw]

The basic alpha system is now working from end to end. I can query 
the triples gathered by the spider via the new HttpQuery servlet or 
command line Java application. I'll aim to get Tomcat running on my 
GUN/Linux system next week so you can replicate the build on the test 
machine.

I would appreciate it if you could update and take a look at the 
query parse rules I have drafted to see if they make sense to you.

va.lang.String)

Best regards,

Monday
~~~~~~
Completed first drafts of query servlet with supporting test classes 
and mock objects. Generated Java documentation for the project and 
committed. Updated the Ant coverage test target with new packages and 
added tests to complete. Created a first draft SeRQLQueryBuilder 
class. See the SeRQL guide below, it has a similar scheme to SQL.

Tuesday
~~~~~~~
Completed the first draft SeRQLQueryBuilder and initial test classes 
for it. Changed the default conditional combination to OR, rather 
than AND. Developed initial test suite for the renamed HttpQuery 
servlet and introduced a MockServletOutputStream to test output.

Wednesday
~~~~~~~~~
Added title and description parameter handling to HttpQuery and 
SeRQLQueryBuilder. Introduced a new ResultsRenderer interface and 
created a TextResultsRenderer for formatting and testing basic 
servlet output. Created a command line RepositoryQuery application to 
check free-form SeRQL queries against the repository, plus a Windows 
batch script to run the class. First query results from the MKSearch 
test site.

Thursday
~~~~~~~~
Changed the colon separator in Dublin Core query parameters to a dot 
separator, following Chris' notes below. Spent much of the rest of 
the day adapting and re-factoring HttpQuery to accept phrase search 
queries -- see JavaDoc reference above.
