This module aims to offer simple methods for dealing with requests for information, and the related tasks of interacting with backend storage.

    use perfSONAR_PS::Services::Base;

    my %conf = ();
    $conf{"METADATA_DB_TYPE"} = "xmldb";
    $conf{"METADATA_DB_NAME"} = "/home/jason/perfSONAR-PS/MP/SNMP/xmldb";
    $conf{"METADATA_DB_FILE"} = "snmpstore.dbxml";

    my %ns = (
      nmwg => "http://ggf.org/ns/nmwg/base/2.0/",
      netutil => "http://ggf.org/ns/nmwg/characteristic/utilization/2.0/",
      nmwgt => "http://ggf.org/ns/nmwg/topology/2.0/",
      snmp => "http://ggf.org/ns/nmwg/tools/snmp/2.0/"    
    );

    my $self = perfSONAR_PS::Services::Base->new(\%conf, \%ns);

    # or
    # $self = perfSONAR_PS::Services::Base->new;
    # $self->setConf(\%conf);
    # $self->setNamespaces(\%ns);              

    $self->init;

    my $response = $self->respond;
    if(!$response) {
      $self->error($self, "Whoops...", __LINE__)
    }

This API is a work in progress, and still does not reflect the general access needed in an Services. Additional logic is needed to address issues such as different backend storage facilities.

The offered API is simple, but offers the key functions we need in a measurement archive.

The accepted arguments may also be ommited in favor of the 'set' functions.

(Re-)Sets the value for the 'conf' hash.

Initialize the underlying transportation medium. This function depends on certain conf file values.

Send message stored in $self->{RESPONSE}.
