public class SampleLabelService
extends java.lang.Object
implements LabelServiceInterface

The internal representation of a LabelService. A LabelService is an object which should be able to deliver labels for any URL. This implementation doesn't use any fancy database (it should), it uses the file system as a Database, in fact.

Each service is assigned a directory, and for each requested labels, this directory is looked up for the appropriate URL. So if you want to label http://www.w3.org/pub/WWW you have to create, under this service directory a file named http/www.w3.org/pub/WWW/label. To label its Overview.html document define the http/www.w3.org/pub/WWW/Overview.html-label file. The label itself is the content of the file.
