CGS4854 Tutorial 1

Due Wednesday 1/26.

Create a web application named Tutorials in NetBeans. Make the first letter uppercase and all the remaining letters lower case for the name of the web application.

An index.jsp will be created for you automatically, when you create the project.

Implement FormInitialized.jsp example in the Tutorials web application. You may run the example from the website for the book: FormInitialized.jsp. There are step-by-step instructions on the book web site for all the examples. Find the steps for this example under the Initialized JSP heading. You will need to complete some of the previous examples in order to complete this one.

• The name of the file must be FormInitialized.jsp.
• It must work exactly like the example from the book. Run the example from the book site to be sure you know how it works. Pay attention to the URL when you run the example.
• Be sure that the file uses the strict DOCTYPE. Netbeans templates do not use the strict DOCTYPE: you will have to edit files created by Netbeans so that they use the strict DOCTYPE.
• Be sure that the file contains valid, strict HTML. You will not lose points if you receive an error about the form tag missing an action. This topic will be covered in Chapter 2. If you want to eliminate the error, then modify the form tag to
  <form action="">

Modify the index.jsp file that is in the project. This is the first page that will be seen when the web application is run.

• Add a relative hypertext link in index.jsp to FormInitialized.jsp.
• Be sure that the file uses the strict DOCTYPE.
• Be sure that the file contains valid, strict HTML.

Clean and Build your web application. This will create the WAR file that you will upload.

When you are done, the Project tab of your project should look like this:

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

Upload the WAR file to me as binary: Submitting homework on-line via the Web.
