Catch a lot of old URL's and update them. Also remove a couple of old files that aren't used.
Tidy up of the client interface code - more commonly known as the "right hand side of the server". Right since the start the filter side of the server has been nice and tree like - every Filter sent data to another Filter. At the top of the tree there was a "special" Filter known as the RootFilter, which to the other Filters just looked like a normal Filter. This was nice, and simple, and expandable. The Client Interface on the other hand was messy. The root filter had some hacky wrapper threads which pulled from a queue and pushed to the relevant client interfaces (one for real time stuff, and the other for databases). There was no simple room for expandability - it was all hardwired to do just what was needed at the time. This commit changes that. A Client Interface now connects to another Client Interface, with a special one being found in the RootFilter (yes, maybe that needs a name change now :-). So we can chain client interfaces, and move other bits and bobs around in the server - for example, alerting no longer needs to be connected to the Client Interface, it can connect straight to the RootFilter (or, wherever the config tells it ;). Hopefully this sanitizes the underlying layout of the server a bit. As a final note, I dropped the DBInterface. This used to insert data in to a MySQL database. We've long since stopped using that, and it's fallen behind and is way out of date. For now, it's gone in to the attic.
Changed the server to use the external util package. Quite a minor change, but does affect a lot of files.
Added URL to GPL headers.
i-scream is now licensed under the GPL. I've added the GPL headers to every source file, and put a full copy of the license in the appropriate places. I think I've covered everything. This is going to be a mad commit ;)
Split the CORBA side of the filter in two. The Filter interface still does the receiving of data, just like it used to. This can optionally be turned off in the configuration if required. The new interface, FilterInfo, is used to provide information (host and ports) to other parts of the server about the Filter - namely the FilterManager. This split has been done so that the data receiving part of the Filter can be turned off, without breaking the FilterManager.
Major change in the java package naming. This has been held off for some time now, but it really needed doing. The future packaging of all i-scream products will be; uk.org.iscream.<product>.<subpart>.* In the case of the central monitoring system server this will be; uk.org.iscream.cms.server.* The whole server has been changed to follow this structure, and tested to a smallish extent. Further changes in other parts of the CMS will follow.
The whole server package structure has been changed. Old Package: uk.ac.ukc.iscream.* New Package: uk.org.iscream.*
Some tidying up.
Changes to reflect move of Component, ComponentStartException, and the ReferenceManager from util to componentmanager.
Added the Queue features, and removed references to a RootFilterThread.
updated code componeterized the system
modified to use the ClientInterface system
Where did that line sneak back from !?
Package updates.
Made changes to fit in with the new package structure. Also made sure all files conform to the template class.
Removed a test line.
Made a seperate Thread. Does the same as FilterThread, but will ultimately be much different.
Changes to reflect Paul's alteration in the FilterThread.
Had to add these if this servant is going to appear to be a Filter. Doesn't seem ideal, but in reality they should never be called, and even if they are they only return null.
This uses the the FilterThread, but I suppose ultimately it should have it's own thread. It serves the correct purpose for now, although it's passed a null pointer as it's parent... which throws an exception... but it gets caught.
Servant for the Root Filter. Currently just prints out the data it receives :)
