Can be enabled just by providing a file URI in the TAP configuration file using
the property "examples". It is also possible to add manually a TAP resource
whose the returned name must be "examples" like the new TAP resource is doing:
tap.resource.Examples. This latter take a file URI as the TAP configuration
file does. The referenced file must respect the DALI 1.0 or TAP Notes 1.0
syntax. No check of the file is performed by the library ; it is up to the
author of the referenced file (a XHTML/RDFa file) to write a correct "examples"
endpoint content. Check out the examples provided on the GitHub repository in
the directory examples/tap/examples_endpoint.

1) [TAP & UWS] ]MAJOR BUG FIX: The abortion of an SQL query is now correctly
implemented. Before this fix, 2 mistakes prevented this clean abortion:
  a/ The thread was not cancelled because the SQL query execution was
blocking the thread. Then the thread could not treat the interruption though
it was flagged as interrupted.
  b/ The function UWSJob.isStopped() considered the job as stopped because
the interrupted flag was set, even though the thread was still processing
(and the database too). Because of that it returned true and the job phase
was ABORTED though the thread was still running.
  NOW:
  a/ TAPJob calls the function Statement.cancel() (if supported) in order
to cancel the SQL query execution properly inside the database.
  b/ The function UWSJob.isStopped() does not test any more the interrupted flag
and returns true only if the thread is really stopped.
  IN BRIEF: It is now sure that a job in the phase ABORTED is really stopped
(that's to say: thread stopped AND DB query execution stopped).

2) [TAP] BUG FIX: When the writing of a result is abnormaly interrupted for any
reason, the file which was being written is deleted.

by the TAP configuration file in order to add/remove/change some metadata or
to change the output of the TAP resource '/tables'.

[TAP] Fix NullPointerException in TAPConfiguration (this error happens only when a NoSuchMethodException occurs.

[TAP] Add Javadoc for all TAP configuration file related classes + Improve the function ConfigurableServiceConnection.getFile(...) + Set the default value of limits/durations/periods to the maximum value if the new maximum value is less than the current default value.

[TAP] Incorrect setting of the backup frequency. The documentation was also incomplete about this property, but also wrong concerning the property backup_mode which is actually backup_by_user.

[TAP] Correction of the default value for the upload_enabled property. By default, the UPLOAD feature is disabled.

[TAP] Add the possibility to set the FetchSize on a DB Statement for the execution of ADQL queries. It is also possible to set a fetchSize different for synchronous and asynchronous queries.

[TAP] Add a configuration file property: 'coordinate_systems'. It lets list all allowed coordinate systems. By default, the list is empty, meaning that any is allowed.

[TAP] Automatic research of the TAP configuration file is done only in the classpath, in WEB-INF and in META-INF. The rest is the Web Application directory is ignored, for security considerations (i.e. otherwise, the library would allow TAP administrators to make the configuration file public....only WEB-INF and META-INF are not public).

[TAP] Rename the property 'output_add_formats' into 'output_formats' & Correct the name of the service description in tap_full.properties.

[TAP] Change the default value for output and upload limits ; only negative value must mean 'no restriction' ; 0 must be a normal allowed value.

[TAP] Allow the TAP configuration file properties 'file_root_path' and 'metadata_file' be file pathes relative to WebContent.

[TAP] Add a property in the configuration file to set a custom TAPFactory (in replacement of ConfigurableTAPFactory.

[TAP] Add a 3rd possibility to set metadata in the TAP configuration file: give an extension of TAPMetadata having either an empty constructor or a constructor with a UWSFileManager, a TAPFactory and a TAPLog. & Rename function TAPConfiguration.isClassPath(String) into TAPConfiguration.isClassName(String).

[TAP] Add property to add/replace TAP resources & Add the tool function TAPConfiguration.newInstance(...).

[TAP] Add log management in the TAP configuration file. 2 additional properties have been added: min_log_level and log_rotation.

[TAP] Add missing formats (particularly all the different VOTable serializations) in the TAP configuration file

[TAP] Fix Class loading MAJOR BUG: do not use a specific ClassLoader, but Class.forName(String). The ClassLoader is different in a WebApplication than in a standalone ; TAP.fetchClass(...) worked before in a standalone but not in a WebApplication.

[TAP] Auto deregister at servlet destruction the JDBC driver loaded by the library (only in the case database_access=jdbc).

[TAP] Add a new database access method in the configuration file: get a Datasource from JNDI. & Better support of connection pooling (TAPFactory.countFreeConnections() has been removed ; when the creation of a database connection fails with an SQLException, it is considered that no connection are momentarily available...async jobs will be queued and all sync requests will be rejected).

[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] 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.

+ Add the management of the Output Limit in TAPConfiguration
+ All the corresponding JUnit Tests
+ Replacing .properties test files for JUnit by a construction of Properties object
+ Update of the HTML documentation page and of the Full example file
