Here's another JSP from a while ago:

<% int count, right; String message = "Hello and welcome to the addition quiz!"; 
   if (session.getAttribute("count") == null || request.getParameter("reset") != null) { 
     session.setAttribute("count", new Integer(0)); count = 0; 
     session.setAttribute("right", new Integer(0)); right = 0; 
   } else { 
     count = ((Integer)(session.getAttribute("count"))).intValue(); 
     right = ((Integer)(session.getAttribute("right"))).intValue(); 
     try { 
        if (Integer.parseInt(request.getParameter("answer")) == ((Integer)(session.getAttribute("answerKey"))).intValue())
              right += 1;
        else 
              right += 0; 
     } catch (Exception e) { } 
     count += 1; 
     message = right + " out of " + count; 
     if (count == 10) { 
       message = "Final result: " + message + ". New game started "; count = 0; right = 0; 
     } else 
       message = "Your performance thus far: " + message;
     session.setAttribute("count", new Integer(count)); 
     session.setAttribute("right", new Integer(right)); 
   }
   int one = (int) (Math.random() * 100 - 50), 
       two = (int) (Math.random() * 100 - 50); 
   session.setAttribute("answerKey", new Integer(one + two)); 
 %>
<html>

<body>
<form action="<%=request.getContextPath() + request.getServletPath()%>">
  <%=message%> <p> 
  Question <%=count+1%>. <%=one%> + <%=two%> = <input type="text" name="answer"> <p> 
  <input type="submit" value="Proceed"> <input type="submit" name="reset" value="Reset"> <p> 

</form>

</body>
</html>

It is clean and compact, and a pleasure to study (I hope).

Sample final exam questions.

Final exam is on

7:15-9:15 p.m., Wed., December 15

Please refer to the Registrar's Final Exam Schedule for more details.

Starting today:

The very popular CATCH UP DAYS are finally here!

Tue Nov 30

Notes for an overview of the programming models covered in class.

Tonight: applet to servlet communication, and JDBC.

Mon Nov 29

More examples: a servlet and its JSP.

Try them here: servlet, JSP.

Please consider why the call looks like this:

http://burrowww.cs.indiana.edu:9810/hw67/servlet/Exam?guess=eve&bet=40

Note that a call to

http://burrowww.cs.indiana.edu:9810/hw67/servlet/Exam

after the program is started would break it:

either with a java.lang.NullPointerException, or
with a java.lang.NumberFormatException: null.

Do you know why?

You should.

(Just to make sure that a full blown example of translation is available to you.)

I didn't see too many updates on your web servers. I want to make sure I don't miss them.

So please use this picture

to clearly identify your What's New? portion of the website.

(Note that clicking on it takes it to the sample what's new I set up on the demo server).

Installing Tomcat_5.0.27 is easy:

define environment variables appropriately
get the archive, uncompress, unpack
set $CATALINA_HOME/conf/server.xml file correctly
start the server (with $CATALINA_HOME/bin/startup.sh)

I will create more links to more concrete examples here but this is all there is to it!

Grading the exams here some of the thoughts that came through my mind:

This for a fact: 43.3% of statistics are meaningless.
Everyone is entitled to my opinion.
Hard work has a future payoff, laziness pays off now.
Warning: dates in calendar are closer than they appear.
Consciousness: that annoying time between naps.
I took an IQ test and the results were negative.
Out of my mind. Back in five minutes.
Energizer bunny arrested. Charged with battery.
Support your local lawyer: send your kid to medical school.
My life has a superb cast, but I can't figure out the plot.
You're just jealous because the voices only talk to me.
Age is a very high price to pay for maturity.
I doubt, therefore I might be.
Procrastination is the art of keeping up with yesterday.
If you try to fail, and succeed, which have you done?
I am not a complete idiot, some parts are missing.
I used to have a handle on life, but it broke.
No sense being pessimistic. It wouldn't work anyway.
Ever stop to think, and forget to start again?

Here's the message sent to the distribution list today:

Date: Wed, 20 Oct 2004 15:47:07 -0500 (EST)
From: Adrian German <dgerman@cs.indiana.edu>
To: A348/A548 Fall 2004 Distr. List <dgerman@indiana.edu>
Subject: Labs today and tomorrow and the Midterm Exam 

Dear A348/A548 friends,

Thu and Fri I am in Savannah, GA, for a presentation to a conference (FIE
2004). http://fie.engrng.pitt.edu/fie2004/index.htm (under Authors) would
give you my paper (German, Dan-Adrian). We'll cover the paper in class at
some point in November.

The exam is proctored by Pavel Anaschenko. It's on Thu 5:30pm in class.

The exam is open-book. Labs today and tomorrow should be used to eliminate
all questions about Homework 2 and 4, Lab 7 and the Sample Midterm posted.

Please review the template posted under What's New? Wed-Thu Sep 15-16. It
should help you approach the problems uniformly. For the exam tomorrow the
technology of your choice is required: PHP or CGI with or without sessions.

For Tue please post all four implementations. CGI/DBI implementation of the
problem you will receive for the exam tomorrow will be discussed in class on
Tue so, as far as that implementation goes, significant help will be offered
then. All four implementations are due on your web sites by Tue end of day,
source code included.

If you have questions or concerns please let me know.

Good luck with your exam tomorrow.

... Adrian

Fri-Sun Oct 15-17

Here's how I would get started on the Paper-Rock-Scissors game in CGI/MySQL.

Here's the message of yesterday:

Date: Thu, 7 Oct 2004 16:39:40 -0500 (EST)
From: Adrian German <dgerman@cs.indiana.edu>
To: A348/A548 Fall 2004 Distr. List <dgerman@indiana.edu>
Subject: A348/A548 update

Dear A348/A548 friends,

The priority this week would be to install PHP properly. That means you
should do it on /nobackup have your own ~/apache/apache_1.3.26/phpsessions
at the end and making sure register_globals is On.

With this behind us we need to finish Homework Four right away.

For next week please make individual appointments through the script that
has been posted on What's New? under Thu Oct 7 or directly at:

    http://burrowww.cs.indiana.edu:9760/cgi-bin/fall2004/schedule

Just choose a time and type your username then click Proceed.

Please let me know if you have any questions and/or if you need any help.

... Adrian

Reminder that PHP to be installed is located (and can be found in):

frilled.cs.indiana.edu%pwd
/nfs/grouchy/home/user2/www/classes/a348-dger/software/php
frilled.cs.indiana.edu%ls -ld *
-rw-r--r--  1 dgerman faculty 4832738 Jun 14 00:19 php-4.3.7.tar.gz
frilled.cs.indiana.edu%

One extra change needs to be made to php.ini:

register_globals = On

But we also need to be aware of potential security problems as well.

Thu Oct 7

Script for individual appointments next week.

Thanks to	Mike Sassman and	Adrian Padilla	for suggesting the example below:

#!/usr/bin/perl

use CGI; 

$pda = new CGI; 

print "Content-type: text/html\n\n"; 

if ( $pda->param('message') ) {

  $userSelection = $pda->param('helicopter'); 
  
  if ($userSelection == 0 && $pda->param('compChoice') == 0) { 
    print "Both have chosen paper: tie."; 
  } elsif ($userSelection == 0 && $pda->param('compChoice') == 1) { 
    print "User's paper beats computer's rock."; 
  } elsif ($userSelection == 0 && $pda->param('compChoice') == 2) { 
    print "User's paper loses to computer's scissors."; 
  } elsif ($userSelection == 1 && $pda->param('compChoice') == 0) { 
    print "User's rock second to computer's paper."; 
  } elsif ($userSelection == 1 && $pda->param('compChoice') == 1) { 
    print "Rock user rock computer tie."; 
  } elsif ($userSelection == 1 && $pda->param('compChoice') == 2) { 
    print "Computer scissors user rock user wins.";

Notes updated, including Lab Seven (which is Midterm Preparation).

You should start working on Homework Four now (same program from Homework Two).

For the following assignments you need to work the same program as for Homework Four only using:

Javascript (for Homework Five),
Java servlets (for Homework Six) and
Java Server Pages (for Homework Seven).

Sun-Fri Sep 26-Oct 1

Here's where you can get PHP from:
