Class FileSystemItem

  javax.servlet.GenericServlet
      javax.servlet.http.HttpServlet
          it.unimi.di.mg4j.query.FileSystemItem

All Implemented Interfaces:

Serializable, Servlet, ServletConfig

public class FileSystemItem
extends HttpServlet

An item serving a file from the file system.

This kind of QueryServlet item will load into the browser the file specified by the parameter uri. Its only purpose is to work around security problems that forbid in some browsers (e.g., Firefox) to link a file in the file system from a page retrieved from an HTTP server.

When this class is loaded, it creates the singleton HttpFileServer and caches it to avoid class garbage collection.
