CGS4854 Extra Credit 3

Due Monday, 9/29 (not late until 6am, 9/30)

If you did Extra Credit 1 or Extra Credit 2, then add this tutorial to the same Tutorials project. Previous extra credit assignments should remain intact in the web application. There will be several links in the index page, one to each extra credit you have done.

If you had errors in any of the previous tutorials, fix them, so that you do not lose points again for old mistakes.

There are more detailed instructions for the tutorial on the book's web site, and a video on my class page.

Implement the Default Validate Controller in the Tutorials web application. It must work exactly like the example from Chapter 3 of the book.

• Place the RequestDataDefault.java and Controller.java in the ch3.defaultValidate package in the Source Packages folder in NetBeans.
• Place the .jsp files in the ch3/dataBean folder in the Web Pages folder in NetBeans. These pages are being reused from an earlier example.
  • name them so that the names match the names in the Controller class. Names are case-sensitive.
  • be sure that the data is accessed through the bean that is stored in the controller.
  • Add an H1 tag to each JSP.
• Add a folder named styles in the root folder (Web Pages folder in NetBeans).
  • Add a stylesheet to the folder. Be sure it has the .css extension.
  • In the stylesheet, set the default background color and text color for the entire page.
  • Use contrasting colors so the text can be read easily.
  • Add a style for H1 tags. Change the background color and text color to something different than the default colors. Use contrasting colors.
• Add a hypertext link in index.jsp to the controller.
  • Be sure that the index.jsp uses the strict DOCTYPE.
  • 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.

When you are done with everything, your directory and file structure should look like this.

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

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.

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.
