[Exist-development] Standalone server

[Wolfgang M. <wol...@ex...>]

Hi,

as promised, I changed the way in which the minimal, "standalone"
server is configured. Instead of hardcoding the configuration in Java,
we now use a special Jetty configuration file in
tools/jetty/etc/standalone.xml, which creates a plain, minimal web app
with just REST, XMLRPC, WebDAV and Atom, as well as support for
XQueryURLRewrite (see config in
tools/jetty/etc/standalone/WEB-INF/controller-config.xml).

This setup is easier to customize. The new configuration works as
before: all URLs starting with /db will be passed to the REST servlet,
while /xmlrpc, /webdav and /atom are handled by the corresponding
servlets. Nothing has changed in this respect. However, all other URLs
will be served from the db collection /db/www by default (see
controller-config.xml).

Calling bin/server.sh will now launch this new configuration instead
of the old Java class StandaloneServer. The same applies to all unit
tests which rely on a running server. I hope this will fix some of the
issues we had with the test suite recently. I'm currently checking the
test suite on various machines. Please report if it doesn't work for
you.

TODO: update the documentation.
