Provides interfaces to store and retrieve data about Alarm Handlers.

The {@link mice.cdb.service.alarmhandler.AlarmHandler AlarmHandler} interface provides methods to retrieve Alarm Handlers (ALH) and the {@link mice.cdb.service.alarmhandler.AlarmHandlerSuperMouse AlarmHandlerSuperMouse} interface extends the AlarmHandler interface providing additional methods to store ALH.

The data about Alarm Handlers are made persistent via a relational database. The address of the database is determined from the configuration file cdb.props. The configuration file can be found at MICE_HOME/etc/cdb-server/, where MICE_HOME is a property passed into the servlet container. By default if MICE_HOME is not set then the value /opt/mice is used. The configuration file should contain the following properties:

db.url
db.name
db.user
db.pwd
db.superUser
db.superPwd

Where db.url is the URL of the database to use, db.name is the name of the database, db.user and db.pwd should point a READ ONLY account for use by the AlarmHandler class and db.superUser and db.superPwd are used by the AlarmHandlerSuperMouse class for READ/WRITE access to the database.
