[Registry-dev] Major UI code refactoring and clean up

[Chathura C. Ekanayake]

Hi Glen,

This is my plan,

1) Divide each page into multiple JSPs (separate JSP for each section 
like comments, tags, etc)

2) Write beans for each JSP

3) Write bean populator classes for each bean

4) Write separate servlets to handle all top level URLs (/web, 
/resource, /versions, /app, /system)

5) Divide the logic in ControllerServlet among multiple components 
(separate component for each command)

6) Improve the uniformity of UI level error handling

7) There are some places where some Java code is written in JSPs. I am 
planning move as much as those Java code in to Java classes.

Steps 1, 2 and 3 will also make it easier to improve the AJAX based 
sections.

Thanks,
Chathura
