-== QQQ Middleware:  Javalin web server
-include::../variables.adoc[]
-
-QQQ provides a standard implementation of a middleware layer - that is - code that exists between the
-QQQ backend and user interface.  This implementation is a web server built using the https://javalin.io/[Javalin framework],
-packaged and deployed in the `qqq-middleware-javalin` maven module
-
-The de facto way to create a QQQ application server is to write a class which uses an instance of one of the
-subclasses of `QApplicationJavalinServer`.
-
-For example, if your application metadata is defined in a directory of yaml files, your server class could be implemented as:
-
-[source,java]
-.ConfigFileBasedQQQApplication usage example
-----
-public static void main(String[] args)
-{
-   try
-   {
-      String path = "src/main/resources/metadata";
-      ConfigFilesBasedQQQApplication application = new ConfigFilesBasedQQQApplication(path);
-      QApplicationJavalinServer javalinServer = new QApplicationJavalinServer(application);
-      javalinServer.start();
-   }
-   catch(Exception e)
-   {
-      LOG.error("Failed to start javalin server.  See stack trace for details.", e);
-   }
-}
-----
-
-A similar class exists if your metadata is produced by a package of Java MetaDataProducer objects:  `MetaDataProducerBasedQQQApplication`.
-
-=== QApplicationJavalinServer
-This class provides the bridge between your QQQ Application (e.g., your metadata) and the QQQ Middleware layer
-served by a Javalin web server.  It has several properties to control behaviors:
-
-* `Integer port` - (default `8000`) - port to use for serving HTTP.
-* `boolean serveFrontendMaterialDashboard` - (default `true`) whether to serve the javascript frontend provided
-in the maven artifact `qqq-frontend-material-dashboard`.
-* `boolean serveLegacyUnversionedMiddlewareAPI` - (default `true`) whether to serve a version the original implementation
-of the QQQ middleware, which current version of `qqq-frontend-material-dashboard` are compatible with.
-* `List<AbstractMiddlewareVersion> middlewareVersionList` - (default contains `MiddlewareVersionV1`) - list of
-newer, formally versioned implementations of the QQQ middleware interface to be served.
-* `Consumer<Javalin> javalinConfigurationCustomizer` - (default `null`) - optional hook to customize the
-javalin service object before it is started.
-* `List<QJavalinRouteProviderInterface> additionalRouteProviders` - (default `null`) - list of fully custom
-implementations of `QJavalinRouteProviderInterface`, to add additional endpoints to the javalin server.
-** _Note, you may first want to consider using JavalinRouteProviderMetaData instead - see below._
-* `QJavalinMetaData javalinMetaData` - (default `null`) - optional alternative place to define `JavalinMetaData` (vs.
-defining it in the `QInstance`). _Note that if it is set in both places, the one in the QApplicationJavalinServer
-is used._
-
-=== JavalinMetaData
-Certain behaviors of a QQQ Javalin server are configured in a declarative manner by adding a `QJavalinMetaData`
-object to the `supplementalMetaData` in your `QInstance` (or, as mentioned above, by setting it directly on the
-`QApplicationJavalinServer`):
-
-* `List<JavalinRouteProviderMetaData> routeProviders` - (default `null`) optional list of custom route providers to
-add to the Javalin server.  See below for details.
-* `String uploadedFileArchiveTableName` - (default `null`) - reference to a QQQ Table in your application instance,
-needed to support the Bulk Load process, as well as any other processes which need to accept an uploaded file
-as input.
-* `boolean loggerDisabled` - (default `false`)
-* `Function<QJavalinAccessLogger.LogEntry, Boolean> logFilter` - (default `null`)
-* `boolean queryWithoutLimitAllowed` - (default `false`)
-* `Integer queryWithoutLimitDefault` - (default `1000`)
-* `Level queryWithoutLimitLogLevel` - (default `INFO`)
-
-==== JavalinRouteProviderMetaData
-This type of metadata allows you to add additional http route providers to your Javalin instance, e.g., for
-serving static files or for running custom code from your application (in the form of QQQ Processes) to respond
-to HTTP requests.
-
-* `String hostedPath` - (required)
-* `String fileSystemPath` - (required for a static router)
-* `String processName` - required for a dynamic, process-based router.  Must be a process name within the QQQ Instance.
-See below for additional details
-* `List<String> methods` - required list of HTTP methods (verbs) that are served by the route provider
-* `QCodeReference routeAuthenticator - Optional reference to a class that implements `RouteAuthenticatorInterface`,
-to provide security authentication to all requests handled by the route provider.
-** A default implementation is provided as `SimpleRouteAuthenticator`, which requires that a user session be present
-to access paths served by the route provider.
-
-===== Process-based route provider processes
-If you define a `JavalinRouteProviderMetaData` with a `processName` (e.g., to serve dynamic HTTP responses from your javalin
-server), the process that you implement will be called to respond to any HTTP requests received by the javalin
-server which match the `hostedPath` and `methods` that are specified in the metadata.
-
-The QQQ javalin server will marshal request data from the javalin context into the process's payload, conforming to
-the shape of the `ProcessBasedRouterPayload` class.  Similarly, the http response will be built by taking values from
-the process's output/state conforming to the fields in that class.  As such, it is recommended to use a
-`ProcessBasedRouterPayload`  instance, as show in this example:
-
-[source,java]
-.Process-based router usage example (including ProcessBasedRouterPayload)
-----
-public class MyDynamicSiteProcessStep implements BackendStep
-{
-   @Override
-   public void run(RunBackendStepInput input, RunBackendStepOutput output) throws QException
-   {
-      ProcessBasedRouterPayload payload = input.getProcessPayload(ProcessBasedRouterPayload.class);
-      String path = payload.getPath();
-      payload.setResponseString("You requested: " + path);
-      output.setProcessPayload(payload);
-   }
