    }

DESCRIPTION

This plugin allows your controller class to dispatch SRU actions (explain, scan, and searchRetrieve) from its own class.

METHODS

parse_sru( )

This method will create sru_response, sru_request (and possibly cql) methods based on the type of SRU request it finds. It will then pass the request over to your customized method.
