Chronobot Web Application Example

1. At the testbed, a dummy database is created with some dummy data. A user with userid "admin1234" and password "pitt1234" has full permission for executing the tasks on the testbed.
2. A sample webpage "test.htm" is created. It calls "ShowBidRoomStatus.jsp" to show the current bid room status.
3. ShowBidRoomStatus.jsp includes a taglib called "ChronobotTaglib" in the header, which is located at "WEB-INF\tlds\ChronobotTaglib.tld". This taglib contains all the classes defined and used by chronobot web service.
4. In this example, "ShowBidRoomStatus.jsp" calls the service "chronobot:ListBidRoom" to list the bidroom status. By reference to "ChronobotTaglib.tld", we know the class is "WEB-INF/classes/tw/org/itri/icl/chronobot/tag/bid/ListBidRoomTag.class". In the future, if a new class is created, a new definition should be added to "ChronobotTaglib.tld" as well.
5. The example URL is : http://chronobot.ksi.edu:8080/pittChronobot/test.htm. (chronobot.ksi.edu = 64.107.76.51)
6. The testbed's ftp service has also been turned on for students to access "pittChronobot" dicrectory. The default user id is "pittchronobot" and the password is "pitt1234". (URL is 64.107.76.77)
7. The file web.xml contains the attributes definition for the database. If the attributes are changed, the changes need to be added to web.xml as well. (For experimental application development, database definition file should not be changed!)
