CGS4854 Extra Credit 2

Due Friday 2/22 (late after 2/23 at 6 am)

Use the same web application that you used for the previous extra credit. If you did not do the previous extra credit, then create a web application named Tutorials in NetBeans. Review the web page that contains instructions on creating a servlet in a NetBeans project: Creating a Project in NetBeans

All previous tutorials should still be able to be accessed and run from the index page of the web application.

Implement the Reorganised Controller in the Tutorials web application. It must work exactly like the example from the book. More detailed instuctions can be found on the book's web site.

• Place the Controller.java, ControllerHelper.java and HelperBase.java files in the ch3.reorganised package in the Source Packages folder in NetBeans.
• Place the RequestDataDefault.java file in the ch3.defaultValidate package in the Source Packages folder in NetBeans.
• Place the .jsp files in the ch3/reorganised subfolder in the Web Pages folder in NetBeans.
  • Copy the JSPs from the StartExample controller; but, be sure that each one references the data from the bean in the helper. Replace all param.xxx with helper.data.xxx.
  • Place all three JSPs in this directory.
  • When you create the JSPs, name them so that the names match the names in the ControllerHelper class. Names are case-sensitive.
• Modify the web.xml file so that it has a servlet definition and a servlet mapping for the servlet controller.
  • Map the controller to the URL /ch3/reorganised/Controller.
• Add a hypertext link in index.jsp to the controller.
  • Be sure that the index.jsp uses the HTML 5 Doctype and Meta tag.
  • Use a relative link from the current location to the controller. Use the url-pattern from the web.xml, but omit the leading /.
  • All the previous tutorials should also have links from this page. All of them should still work.

Java Files

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

Deploy to ocelot

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

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

ROOT Web Application on ocelot

Be sure you have the following links in the ROOT/index.jsp file on ocelot.

• Relative link to manager/html.
• Relative link to the root of your web application for homework.
• Relative link to the root of your web application for tutorials.

Hand In 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.
