Export REST API Enhancement

Prior to release 0.10, a client could join all the columns from a table into the export result by specifying the table's path within the columns parameter like so:

&columns=/some/table/path

In release 0.10, the client may optionally suffix the columns parameter table path(s) with the @ sign followed by one to many column ids. Instead of all columns within the table, Pull Reports^™ will only export the given columns in the given order.

&columns=/some/table/path@columnId1,columnId2

Dynamic generation of XML catalog files

In addition to loading XML catalog files from the Java classpath and Java URIs, 0.10 allows dynamic generation of XML from a Java factory class. Create XML catalogs from any remote source such as relational databases and content management systems.
