Implementation of MobilityFirst component in Java

The goal of this project is to re-implement a components of a MobilityFirst setup using Java (previously in C, C++). This improves the previous implementations by allowing the portability of Java applications, not requiring a re-compilation every time the project is moved. Also being written in Java, it will be easier to compile as there will be greater amounts of abstraction.

Implementation

The project is being implemented in the Netbeans IDE (v 8.02) with the tomcat server (8.0.27 that comes from the Netbeans installation. The particular application, the MobilityFirst proxy, has the purpose of translating a http request into a GET call in the JMF API to get content from the server. The GET call needs specific information that the routers pass to the server, which recognizes the GUID, (Globally Unique Identifiers) and send back the content to the proxy to relay to the client. The application needs to:

1. Parse the HTTP Request
2. Send a GET request using JMF API (Java MobilityFirst) and receive the content
3. Send content back with the HTTP Response

This application is mainly being implemented using a Filter in a tomcat server. The filter processes all requests before it is sent to a Servlet which can also process requests. This is to provide a higher-level filtering for requests that are specifically understood and have specific functions that are unrelated to other functions of the servlets that can be implemented in the server.
