CGS4825 Assignment 5

Due Wednesday, 11/22 at 11:59 pm.

To hand in the assignment, zip your webapps directory and upload it from ocelot.

• Please use the following command to compress your webapps folder. Change to your cgs4825 directory on ocelot and issue the command
  zip -r username webapps -x \*.jar \*.zip \*.war \*.log
  Replacing username with your user name.
• Check the size of the ZIP file, it should be less than 1 MB. If it is not, then you probably have another ZIP file stored in the ZIP archive. Delete it and re-zip.
• Use my uploading program from ocelot to upload the file.
  ~downeyt/cs/public/webftp/webftp.pl
• 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.

If you attempted HW4, but were unable to complete it, see me for help.

Adding JAR Files

For this assignment, you must add JAR files to your web application. You may develop your assignment on ocelot or you may use NetBeans.

If you are developing on ocelot, then you need to copy the JAR files from my directory to your lib directory.

1. Change to the lib directory of your web application.
2. Issue the command
   unzip ~downeyt/cs/public_html/cgs4825/smaller.jar.zip
3. Modify the .cshrc file and include a CLASSPATH statement for each JAR that is in the lib directory of your web application. You may add them by hand as you did in the last assignment or run the following command.
   ~downeyt/public/bin/addJars.pl  book
4. If you do the above commands, then you will have all the jar files that are needed for all the applications though Chapter 5. The zip file includes the jars that you added from Chapter 4. In addition, the CLASSPATH variable in .cshrc has been updated so that you can compile on ocelot.

If you are developing on NetBeans,

1. Download the zip file, from the book site, to your computer.
2. Unzip it.
3. Open NetBeans and right-click on the project name in the Projects tab.
4. Select Properties.
5. Select Libraries.
6. Click the Add Jar/Folder button.
7. Navigate to the directory where the unzipped JAR files are.
8. Select all the JAR files you want to include in the web application.

After you have deployed the WAR file to ocelot, you will need to edit the .cshrc file and include a CLASSPATH statement for each JAR that is in the lib directory of your web application. You may add them by hand as you did in the last assignment or run the following command.
~downeyt/public/bin/addJars.pl  book

Post Servlet Controller

Implement the Post Servlet application, from Chapter 5, on ocelot. Place it in the book web application. Do not change the application in any way. You are to get it working exactly as I have it working.

• If you are developing locally in NetBeans, after deploying the WAR file to oceleot, it will be necessary to change the permissions of the error.log file on ocelot.
  • On ocelot, change to the WEB-INF/logs folder.
  • Change the permission on error.log to 606
    chmod 606 error.log
  • If this is not done, then Tomcat will not be able to write messages to the log file when the app is run on ocelot.

Persistent Data Controller

Implement the Persistent Data application, from Chapter 5, on ocelot. Place it in the book web application. Do not change the application in any way. You are to get it working exactly as I have it working.

• When implementing the controller, be sure to modify the initialization parameters for your mySql account.
  • The mySql server and port are http://ocelot.aul.fiu.edu:3306
  • Your username for mySql is fall06_username
  • Your password is your panther ID. Before working on your homework, please log onto mySql and change the password. There are instructions on the class web page: Change password for mySql.

Web Application

In the welcome page for the book web application, add links to each controller.
