Hi BW:

In the current model, it's not done at all. The QueryServlet doesn't really 
exist
since the advent of Web-Grid for the information integration components:

http://oodt.apache.org/components/maven/grid/

Check out the slides from Sean Kelly on that site, that describes web grid.
Basically instead of the query server/servlet, we opted for a more REST
service oriented style where users consume profile and product server
end points via the Web Grid substrate.

Does that help?

Cheers,
Chris
