[handle-dev] New handle client - SDX

["Eamonn Neylon" <eneylon@manifestsolutions.com>]

I have developed some software that renders the content of handle resolution
in a web page. This Java servlet adds resolution capabilities to content
servers and packages the results in JavaScript. This provides a different
approach to deployment of handle resolution capabilities. By being based on
the server, the capabilities of multiple resolution can be delivered to
existing web browsers rather than requiring users to install software.

The Servlet Data eXtension (SDX) package provides a proxy service for
document servers to provide handle resolution and web browser display
capabilities. It intercepts user requests for content from servers and
inserts resolved data in place of embedded handles. A drawback of this
approach is that resolution occurs when the containing document is requested
and not when the user follows a link.

SDX is available for download at http://www.manifestsolutions.com/ At the
moment it is only configured to parse documents with an extension of .html
but this can easily be changed in the source code provided. This software is
made available through the generous support of Hewlett-Packard who funded
its development as part of a consultancy engagement.

To report any problems, suggest improvements or contribute enhancements to
SDX please email sdx@manifestsolutions.com
