Implementation

Currently, this is Java properties file (i.e., read in using PropertyFile) with the following format:

     <xbook path prefix>: <engine type> <engine args>

The $<$xbook path prefix$>$ is a relative path to the location of the directory containing the xbook. It is relative to the root of the xbook repository which is read in from a configuration file upon xbook server startup. The $<$engine type$>$ is the name of the engine class which will be instantiated to handle the request (see Section 2.2.4.3. The $<$engine args$>$ is engine-specific. For example, the JythonEngine has 2 arguments: the python handler script name and the python class name (see Section 2.2.6.6).
