64   * Config Servlet is the simplest way to use Melati.
65   *
66   * All a ConfigServlet does is to configure a melati and combine the
67   * doGet and doPost methods.  Importantly it does not establish a poem session
68   * leaving you to do this for yourself.
69   *
70   * If you want a poem session established, please extend PoemServlet.
71   *
72   * ConfigServlet does set up a basic PoemContext with the Method set,
73   * but not the POEM logicaldatabase, table or troid.
74   *
75   * The URL is expected to take one of the following form:
76   *
77   * <BLOCKQUOTE><TT>
78   * http://<I>h</I>/<I>s</I>/<I>meth</I>
79   * </TT></BLOCKQUOTE>
80   *
81   * the method is broken out of the path info and passed to
82   * your application code in the <TT>Melati</TT> and
83   * <TT>PoemContext</TT> parameter
84   *
85   * <TABLE>
86   *   <TR>
87   *     <TD><TT><I>h</I></TT></TD>

96   *   </TR>
97   *   <TR>
98   *     <TD><TT><I>meth</I></TT></TD>
99   *     <TD>
100  *       A freeform string telling your servlet what it is meant to do.  This
101  *       is automatically made available in templates as
102  *       <TT>$melati.Method</TT>.
103  *     </TD>

105  * </TABLE>
