doGet

public void doGet(HttpServletRequest request,

           throws ServletException,
                  IOException

The doGet method of the servlet.

1. Gets the WMS instance data from wms_instance.xml
2. Opens a database connection for this instance (using the DBconn class).
3. builds a Capabilities XML doc for this WMS instance (if needed).
   This uses a rather primitive way of finding if it's instantiated already. Eg. fails to detect changes in WMS config when "hotswapping" the DB.
4. calls WMSRequest to parse parameters
5. asks WMSGetMap or WMSGetCapabilities for further processing
6. forwards output to servlet reponse object.

request - the request send by the client to the server

response - the response send by the server to the client
