-sqlstr template: ster?clnt=<name|pass>&com=sqlstr&whr=<where_pattern> Order of query params is not important. pattern : * | <SQL part following WHERE>. The '*' means all. A special syntax must be used: ':' for = and '|' for <space>. This is because spaces and '=' are replaced in WWW requests. Note that string values must be enclosed in single quotes. Note that there exist two choices for comparisons on values: string comparisons for field 'sp_value', and numeric (double) comparisons for field 'sp_numvalue'. String values that cannot be converted to doubles are represented as NULLs in 'sp_numvalue'. descript: returns part of the table 'stereotype_profiles' as specified by the condition in the 'whr' query parameter. If no row in DB satisfies the conditions, the result will not have any 'row' elements (200 OK will still be returned). example : ster?clnt=name|pass&com=sqlstr&whr=sp_stereotype:'visitor'|and|sp_numvalue<:2|order|by|sp_feature ster?clnt=name|pass&com=sqlstr&whr=* ster?clnt=name|pass&com=sqlstr&whr=isnull(sp_numvalue) returns : 200 OK, 401 (fail, request error), 501 (fail, server error) 200 OK : in this case the response body is as follows <?xml version="1.0"?> <?xml-stylesheet type="text/xsl" href="/resp_xsl/stereot_profiles.xsl"?> <result> <row><str>stereotype</str><ftr>feature</ftr><val>value</val></row> ... </result> comments: the reference to the xsl file allows to view results in a web browser. In case the response body is handled directly by an application and not by a browser, this reference to xsl can be ignored.
