Critical instructions that you MUST follow for DBIS Lab projects: 1) Each demo will be for 20 minutes. Come in 10 minutes early to Infolab to login and set up your servers etc. 2) Your demo should run off netscape remotely -- I will not permit you to run netscape on the same machine as your servlets. If you use javascript make sure it works on netscape not just IE. 3) You should follow the directory structure outlined in the course web page project information link. Check out its current version since I've simplified it a bit. Note: [MODULE NAME] indicates a name for your application. Pick any name that reflects your application and doesn't conflict with other groups. 4) All schema and data should be loaded by scripts, so you can start from an empty database, run the scripts and be ready for your demo. See directory structure for where to place data and scripts 5) You should avoid repetitive code especially repetitive HTML -- make sure your program is in normal form by creating functions to output HTML. See the sample HTML generation class code for instance. 6) All installation specific information used in your java code should be in a single class/file called Config.java. This includes machine name, port number, etc. If you move your code you should be able to change only this (and perhaps one or two scripts) and have your code ready to work. Create a README file describing how to install your system. 7) You should create a tar file (using tar -cvfz filename.tgz directory) containing the entire contents of the above mentioned directory. This has to be submitted as part of your demo. I may ask you to untar this and set up your program on a new machine, and demo from the new set up, so pay attention to the previous point!
