GSOC 2009: Hackystat and the Hello World Server Ping, and other adventures in Servers

Today I made the Sensorbase server code respond to a ping with "Hello, World!"

Basically, this just required adding another resource, in this case, HelloPingResource. I modeled it fairly closely after the PingResource, but I didn't use the client to check to make sure that it had worked. I swiped code from the SensorBaseClient isHost() method to both perform the ping and receive the response, but put it in a separate test class for the HelloPing. I also wrote a JUnit test (my first!), which ran (I think) when I ran ant -f junit.build.xml, but there was so much junk in that output that I couldn't find my little message in all of it.

I've also got the beginnings of an API framework for this server critter that I am building.
