P07 CISC474 07S-Model,View,Controller

Finish the webapp

In P06, you created a model, and you created a view. Now create a controller to bring them together.

Minimum Requirements

• The view and model you submitted for P06 (assuming it was reasonable) can communicate, and the result is working useful application

OR

• The user should be able to enter the free/busy time for any number of folks between 2 and 4 and get back a list of the common free times. If your web app can do this, you'll earn full credit for P07.

Optional extra features (these may earn choice points for the group)

• Users with a login/password should be able to enter free/busy times for themselves only, and then find a list of common free times for any subset of users in the database.
• Features like the ability to retreive lost passwords, create new userids, etc. are also "nice to have" but not essential.
• The number of extra choice points available will vary based on how ambitious your group's capabilties were—but don't, at this point, try to go for more features than you already had in mind.
  • These choice points are to "recognize work already done" and reward folks who "already went the extra mile", not to provide additional incentive to go wild at the last minute (and possibly break your application!)
  • As a general guideline, stick closely to the features you proposed in your view for P06.

Comments on technology required:

• If your user-interface requires sessions, then implement sessions and a connection to a database.
  • If you do use a database, you MUST include a .sql file in your submission to create the database and populate it with any initial data required (if any), following the pattern we used in H08, H09.
• If your user-interface does not require sessions and a database, then you do not have to implement those.

Required documentation:

Document your team members' contributions to the project, and your basic approach on your Team's wiki page, and have a link there to your Team's javadoc and downloads for P07. Also, be sure that your team's code is checked into the same SVN repository you used for P06.

Your deliverables for P07 (due May 15, by 11:55pm)

NO LATE SUBMISSION ACCEPTED—GET THIS IN TUESDAY TO AVOID DISAPPOINTMENT!

The team leader of your group should submit, on WebCT, a gzipped tar file or a zip file containing a directory called P07 that contains your deployment environment.

The team leader and primary wiki editor should verify that the wiki page has:

• the list of roles
• links to the Javadoc page and download page
• links to the Tomcat instance where the view is deployed

The team leader should also double check that

• The source distribution available on the download page matches the tarball or zip file that you submitted.

The team leader (along with the entire team) should also verify that if/when you download the tarball and adjust any global.properties values as appropriate, that there are tasks in the Ant file that successfully

• compile the code
• running JUnit tests (that pass)
• create the Javadoc
• deploy the Javadoc
• create a tarball or zip file (source distribution)
• deploy the source distribution to the download page
• deploy the "view" to the running tomcat

Finally, the team leader, User Interface Team and Tomcat Administrator should verify that when you go to that Tomcat instance and use the the application, that the application actually works as it should.

Grading: 200 pts
