Setting Up the Web Service

We'll create a web application project in Netbeans.

Configure the web.xml to run pipelines for .pd files:

    <servlet>
    <servlet-name>PipelineEngine</servlet-name>
    <servlet-class>com.smallx.servlet.PipelineServlet</servlet-class>
       <init-param>
            <param-name>check-for-changes</param-name>
            <param-value>true</param-value>
       </init-param>
       <init-param>
            <param-name>default-pipeline</param-name>
            <param-value>tideinfo.pd</param-value>
       </init-param>
    </servlet>
    
    <servlet-mapping>
    <servlet-name>PipelineEngine</servlet-name>
    <url-pattern>*.pd</url-pattern>
    </servlet-mapping>

We can create an index.xml file that is the default input for GET:

<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml">
<head><title>Service Error</title></head>
<body>
<p>This service does not respond to GET requests.</p>
</body>
</html>

The application is now ready to be used! Try it out.
