/*
 Class documentation:
 this class provides a file servlet and CGI interface
 for the httpd server.
 Whenever this server is addressed to load a local file,
 this class searches for the file in the local path as
 configured in the setting property 'rootPath'
 The servlet loads the file and returns it to the client.
 Every file can also act as an template for the built-in
 CGI interface. There is no specific path for CGI functions.
 CGI functionality is triggered, if for the file to-be-served
 'template.html' also a file 'template.class' exists. Then,
 the class file is called with the GET/POST properties that
 are attached to the http call.
 Possible variable hand-over are:
 - form method GET
 - form method POST, enctype text/plain
 - form method POST, enctype multipart/form-data
 The class that creates the CGI respond must have at least one
 static method of the form
 public static java.util.Hashtable respond(java.util.HashMap, serverSwitch)
 In the HashMap, the GET/POST variables are handed over.
 The return value is a Property object that contains replacement
 key/value pairs for the patterns in the template file.
 The templates must have the form
 either '#['<name>']#' for single attributes, or
 '#{'<enumname>'}#' and '#{/'<enumname>'}#' for enumerations of
 values '#['<value>']#'.
 A single value in repetitions/enumerations in the template has
 the property key '_'<enumname><count>'_'<value>
 Please see also the example files 'test.html' and 'test.java'
