CGS4854 Extra Credit 6

Due Tuesday, 4/4 (not late until 6am, 4/5)

There are more detailed instructions for the tutorial on the book's web site.

Implement the Post controller from Chapter 5, in the Tutorials web application. It must work exactly like the example from Chapter 5 of the book. You will have to complete the Required Validation controller in order to complete the Post controller.

Do the normal things for controllers:

• You do not have to modify my code at all, just get it running.
• Place the controllers in unique packages in Source Packages
• Place the JSPs in a hidden folder.
• Add the necessary JAR files to the Library.
• Add a hypertext link from the root of the web app to the controller.
• Be sure the ROOT index page has all the required links.

Deploy Assignment

Be sure that your NetBeans project is configured so that .java files are added to the WAR file: Adding .java files to a WAR file

Clean and Build your web application. After doing this, navigate to the WAR file in NetBeans and verify that the .java files are included: View WAR File

1. Since you are using a log file that is in the web application, you will need to shut down Tomcat before you can do a Clean and Build.
2. Open the Services folder and open the Servers folder.
3. Right-click the Tomcat server and select Stop.
4. Now you can do a Clean and Build.

In the operating system (not in NetBeans) navigate to the dist folder in the NetBeans project.

Deploy the WAR file on ocelot: Deploy a WAR File. Be sure to change the permission of the error log for this assignment on ocelot to 606.

In the index.jsp file in the ROOT web app on ocelot, add a hypertext link to the Tutorials web app. Use a relative reference.

Submit Assignment

To hand in the assignment, zip the cgs4854 directory on ocelot and upload it.

• Please use the following command to compress your cgs4854 folder.
  zip -r username ~/cgs4854 -x \*.jar \*.zip \*.war
  Replacing username with your user name. This will create a file named username.zip. It contains the ROOT, manager and Tutorials web applications.
• Check the size of the ZIP file, it should be less than 3 MB. If it is not, then you probably have another ZIP file stored in the ZIP archive. Delete it and re-zip.
• You then have a choice for submitting the file.
  • If you are logged onto ocelot, use my uploading program to upload the file. Enter this command at the command prompt:
    ~downeyt/public/webftp/webftp.pl
  • If you are using winscp, then download the zip file to your computer; then, upload the file to me: Submitting homework on-line via the Web.
• Upload the file as binary.

Be sure that all your files and subdirectories are included in the zip file.
After uploading, do not modify your files on ocelot until after your assignment has been graded.
