Java Servlet

A Servlet is a Java class in Java EE that conforms to the Java Servlet API, a protocol by which a Java class may respond to HTTP requests. They are not tied to a specific client-server protocol, but are most often used with this protocol. The word "Servlet" is often used in the meaning of "HTTP Servlet".^[1] Thus, a software developer may use a servlet to adddynamic content to a Web server using the Java platform. The generated content is commonly HTML, but may be other data such as XML. Servlets are the Java counterpart to non-Java dynamic Web content technologies such as CGI and ASP.NET. Servlets can maintain state in session variables across many server transactions by using HTTP cookies, or URL rewriting.

The servlet API, contained in the Java package hierarchy javax.servlet, defines the expected interactions of a Web container and a servlet.^[1] A Web container is essentially the component of a Web server that interacts with the servlets. The Web container is responsible for managing the lifecycle of servlets, mapping a URL to a particular servlet and ensuring that the URL requester has the correct access rights.

Step 6

As testing and validation phase is almost ready, we are moving on Step 6 (docs and presentation).

Now that everything is almost done I was thinking to tell you something

about the reputation system.

A reputation-based system is characterized by two facets:

• each user collects a personal reputation reflecting his perceived

utility to the community,

• the effect/weight of his actions in the community depends on his reputation.

We have created our reputation system to evaluate and encourage

several facets of the student participation:

• Involvement

• Usefulness to others

• Competency on the topic

• Ability to judge other's solutions

• Critical thinking (while correcting other's work)

The total reputation is obtained by weighting the 5 facets as follows:

reputation = [

2 * involvement

+ 3 * usefulness

+ 5 * competency

+ 1 * judgement

+ 4 * critical_thinking] / 5

Further on another day :P

Step 5 - further

Step 5 - further

We are still in testing phase. We still find bugs and fix them over time.

There are a few more steps and everything will be ready.
