EQUIP2 Tutorial WebApp index

Chris Greenhalgh, 2007-01-29

Introduction

This is a tutorial EQUIP2-based web application, incorporating Hibernate and Spring Framework, and running in a J2EE Servlet container such as Apache Tomcat.

It is meant to embody reasonable practice in a range of EQUIP2 and Spring things typically in web applications. It also supports some tutorial documentation.

For general configuration, build and deploy information see the documentation from the minimal web application:

• EQUIP2_Starting_a_new_WebApp.html
• EQUIP2_WebApp_Configuring_and_Building.html
• EQUIP2_WebApp_Deploying.html

The configuration files for this web application by default use the web application name 'equip2tutorial' and a mySQL database 'equip2tutorial', user name 'equip2tutorial', password 'equip2tutorialpw' (see EQUIP2_WebApp_Configuring_and_Building.html for how to change these).

Build the web application as described in EQUIP2_WebApp_Configuring_and_Building.html.

Deploy it as described in EQUIP2_WebApp_Deploying.html.

Application Overview

• player registration,
• authoring of questions or topics,
• submission of answers or comments to these.

Tutorial documents

• EQUIP2_WebApp_Structure_Overview.html - what are the main parts of an EQUIP2 web application, and how (in outline) is a HTTP request handled?
• EQUIP2_WebApp_Dynamic_Reloadiing.html - speeding up the redeploy cycle for web application development (also working notes)
  

• EQUIP2_WebApp_Simple_Request_Handing.html - simple HTTP request handling with J2EE/Spring (no EQUIP2), e.g. serving simple pages.
• EQUIP2_WebApp_Form_Handling.html - handling forms and the like in J2EE/Spring (no EQUIP2)
• EQUIP2_WebApp_Dynamic_Pages_with_JSP.html - non-EQUIP2 JSP and JSTL
• EQUIP2_WebApp_Login_and_Interceptors.html - creating secure areas; also a note on the EQUIP2 session closing interceptor.
  
• EQUIP2_WebApp_Scheduled_Tasks.html - doing tasks at timed intervals (or set times) in the web application
  

• EQUIP2_WebApp_Defining_the_Dataspace.html - specifying Data classes and initial configuration
  
• EQUIP2_WebApp_Standard_Dataspace_Web_Interface.html
• EQUIP2_WebApp_Dynamic_Pages_using_EQUIP2_Taglib.html
• EQUIP2_WebApp_Scripting_Support.html - most of the example is relevant whether or not you are using EQUIP2, but some use is also made of EQUIP2 dataspace for illustration purposes.
• EQUIP2_WebApp_Unit_Testing.html - much of this is relevant with or without EQUIP2, but does include specific examples for Unit testing with EQUIP2.
  

• EQUIP2_WebApp_Tutorial_Application_Specification.html - what the application is/does
• EQUIP2_WebApp_Tutorial_Application_Website_Structure.html - Note that this tutorial (and the application itself) is incomplete, but it already has quite a lot of useful examples. E.g. player registration, login, and custom form-based adding and editing of dataspace objects.
