[TAP] Add support for user identification in the configuration file. Besides, each time a property expected as an integer is not an integer, an exception is thrown.

[TAP] Add a parameter to limit the number of running asynchronous jobs in the configuration file: max_async_jobs.

[TAP] Add metadata support in the configuration file. Two methods to get metadata: 1/ Parse an XML file implementing the schema TableSet, and then re-build TAP_SCHEMA in the database, 2/ Get metadata from the database schema TAP_SCHEMA.

[TAP] Add an XML TableSet parser. The main modification done in JDBCConnection is about the schema prefix of table when the DBMS does not support schemas: now, only standard tables are expected with the prefix 'TAP_SCHEMA_' and the upload tables also with 'TAP_UPLOAD_'.

[TAP] Add an XML TableSet parser. The main modification done in JDBCConnection is about the schema prefix of table when the DBMS does not support schemas: now, only standard tables are expected with the prefix 'TAP_SCHEMA_' and the upload tables also with 'TAP_UPLOAD_'.

[TAP] Remove the availability fields from the configuration file. The Service will always start as available ; there is indeed no reason to start and leave it as unavailable.

[UWS,TAP] Fix UPLOAD bug (the last line of the table to upload was ignored). Fix an improbable NullPointerException in the MultipartParser.

[UWS,TAP] Add clean release of all resources (e.g. Threads, Timers, DB connections) allocated in a UWS and a TAP service. Small changes of the UWS API...but only if ExecutionManager, DestructionManager and UWS have been implemented by library users rather than using the default implementation.

[UWS,TAP] Review some log messages (in the log file but also in the error summary of a job) ; particularly stack traces are added into the error summary, but are displayed just once in the logs.

[TAP] Fix bug with the UPLOAD parameter: on any job parameter modification (with a 2nd http request), the UPLOAD parameter was deleted

[TAP] Fix bug in VOTable reading. The STIL consumer must be in a different thread. OnceRowPipe has been then replaced by a new internal static class re-doing the same work plus some adaptations, particularly to stop properly the stream reading before reaching the end of the VOTable.

[TAP,UWS] Addition to the last commit: the TAP resource /sync did not yet use the RequestParser to get its parameters, and so it did not worked as before the last commit.

[UWS,TAP] 3 MAJOR DEPENDENT FIX: improve significantly the parameters extraction from HTTP request in UWS (1) AND move the file-upload ability into the UWS library (2) AND the modification of parameters in UWS is now conform with the standard (3). (1) Only application/x-form-urlencoded content-type was supported. However a UWS must accept a request body containing only an XML document as a single byReference parameter. It is now done when the content-type is not known. (2) Besides multipart/form-data is now fully supported in UWS and so is still possible in TAP. (3) In the UWS standard, parameters can not be added after creation: they can just be modified. This rule is now respected in the UWS library.

[TAP] Deal with the DB type 'BOOLEAN' while uploading boolean values in the database => convert the boolean in a short value (1 or 0).

[TAP] Make TAP and UWSService use the same ServiceErrorWriter AND make DefaultTAPErrorWriter use the same VOTableFormat as the one declared as OutputFormat in the ServiceConnection.

[TAP] Fix a grave error: synchronous jobs were stopped much before the specified execution duration ; the library was waiting N milliseconds, where N is the TAP execution duration always expressed in seconds.

[UWS,TAP] Review the standard parameters checking. Particularly, because before, the default value was never used while no value was specified by the user.

[ADQL,TAP] Add geometry format in output and correct upload of STC-S regions. Geometrical type conversion from and into a DB type is now required in all JDBCTranslator. This allows formatting of geometrical column value coming from the database, but also the translation of STC-S expressions provided in uploaded table into geometrical column values.

[TAP] Do not write optional XML attributes in the /tables when their value is NULL or an empty string.

[ADQL,TAP] Add STC-S and UDFs support in the ADQL parser. Now, it is possible to provide a list of allowed UDFs, regions and coordinate systems. The ServiceConnection of TAP is now able to provide these lists and to propagate them to the ADQLExecutor. UDFs and allowed regions are now listed automatically in the /capabilities resource of TAP. The type 'geometry' is now fully supported in ADQL. That's why the new function 'isGeometry()' has been added to all ADQLOperand extensions. Now the DBChecker is also able to check roughly types of columns and UDFs (unknown when parsing syntactically a query). The syntax of STC-S regions (expressed in the REGION function) are now checked by DBChecker. However, for the moment, geometries are not serialized in STC-S in the output....but it should be possible in some way in the next commit(s).

[TAP] Log format reports and end of ADQLExecutor execution, add an OVERFLOW notification for the text/plain output and check by default that the given service connection is not null in constructor.

[TAP] Adapt the MIME type of VOTable output in function of the chosen data part serialization AND let setting the VOTable MIME type after creation (useful only when no known serialization is chosen).

[TAP] Adapt the MIME type of VOTable output in function of the chosen data part serialization AND let setting the VOTable MIME type after creation (useful only when no known serialization is chosen).

[UWS,TAP] Fix timestamp format. Now, each returned date will expressed in UTC and using the ISO8601 format. Any given date is also expected in UTC (or with a time zone offset) and in ISO8601Format. These rules apply also for uploaded tables and for timestamp columns in a query result.

[TAP,UWS] Make valid VOTable results and errors. Some error messages about expected TAP request parameters have been changed.

[TAP] Make valid the /tables document (using a XSD schema correct copy of GAVO for VOSITables ; the IVOA one is incorrect: the attribute targetNamespace is not ...VOSITables...)

[TAP] Fix bug in upload (uploaded tables were given twice to the db checker) & Allow customization of the DB upload schema in the tap factory
