README for WebMan: A Basic RefEntry Servlet
Mark Craig
------------------------------------------

ACCIS (http://www.accis.edu) offers CS445, Independent Programming Project, a
four-hour elective course for students completing the undergraduate Computer
Science program. The project documented here involves designing, building, and
testing an application using the Java[tm] programming language to handle,
format, and deliver reference manual entries marked up in in DocBook-descendant
XML.

For further information: http://mcraig.org/RefEntry/

The application, a basic RefEntry servlet, performs a function similar to the
man command on UNIX[R] systems. Instead of handling roff format files and
posting formatted results to a terminal, however, the RefEntry servlet handles
XML files and posts results in XHTML that can be viewed in most web browsers.
