Internet Computing Workshop (2010-11)

Module Description page and Syllabus Page

Demonstrators and Lab sessions

Our four demonstrators are:Osama Taleb, Roly Perera, Errol Thompson and Miel Zozaya Garica. Rather than have office hours in their office, they hold them in the labs. If you have problems with the exercises, with your setups, with Java, or with the technologies taught in the module, please approach them in the labs during the lab sessions. Please do not email them or approach them outside their lab hours.

Lab sessions

You are strongly advised to attend as many lab hours as you can to take advantage of the demonstrator (and classmate) support available.

Day	Time	Room
Wednesdays	13:00-17:00	LG04, Computer Science
Fridays	14:00-16:00	LG04, Computer Science

Handouts, source code, links and Solutions

With special thanks to Alan Sexton for designing the course and his slides and handouts. In particular, we will make use of the running example that he designed in 2008-09. I would like to encourage you to make use of the sample codes and exercises from 2008-09.

There is a wide range of online material, books and tutorials available about Hibernate, WIcket and Spring. Among other books, I have found the following books particularly helpful:

• Christian Bauer and Gavin King, Java Persistence with Hibernate
• Craig Walls and Ryan Breidenbach, Spring in Action
• Samudra Gupta, Pro Apache Log4j
• Martijn Dashort and Eelco Hillenius, Wicket in Action

• Click here to download the Hibernate libraries which we have used in the exercises. Hibernate libraries are also available on the school's server:

  /bham/common/java/packages/hibernate-3.2
  /bham/common/java/packages/hibernate-3.2/lib
  /bham/common/java/lib/

• Exercises for part 2 (Hibernate): (You probably access the files earlier from Errol's page)
• The Hibernate example source code needs to be unzipped into your project. You will need to modify the hibernate.properties file with the location of your database and your database access user name. The code should then run.

• You should initially run the program with a parameter of "create" to create the database tables. Then experiment with running the other functions as documented in the documentation.
  Worksheets

  There are two worksheets for Hibernate. These are:

  1. Example Code Worksheet - This documents the functionality in the sample code and includes some additional functions that you need to implement. This additional functionality does not require changes to the database or Hibernate mapping. It does require you to write queries that you will need to get Hibernate to run.
  2. Exercise Worksheet - This documents some additional functionality that needs to be added to the code. This functionality requires additional model objects and database tables. You will need to create these and the appropriate Hibernate mappings.

• Assessment for part 2:
• The files which are used in this assessment are available in HERE.
• As usual Click here to download the Hibernate libraries which we have used in the Assessment. These are the libraries that you have been using.

Sample code

• Download and install the following program: SimpleWicket.jar. Explore the code, get it running and try it out. Note that there is a readme file in the top directory with a list of jar file- if the suggested list is not working try these jar files.
• Get these exercises working: wicketExercises
• SimplestWicket.zip , see the Handouts
• Download and install the following program: EquipBooking.zip and study it. The libraries required are listed in a text file in the source directory (From Dr Thompson)

Exercises for part 4 Wicket (and Spring Security):

The libraries used in this exercise are available HERE.

This is the base code being proposed for the Wicket/Acegi exercise. The worksheet describes the database and the initial functionality for you. None of the code for the AssetType or Assets are currently written. Create a page with a button called "Display Asset Types" to display a list of AssetTypes.

Note: the model should not need updating. Our intention is for you to use the DAO and the service code.

Assessment 4 (Wicket and Spring security):

• Worksheet
• Base code

Final assessment (Involving submitting code and viva):

• Worksheet
• Base code
• Submit your assessment to the BOSS system no later than 11:00 on Tuesday 3rd of May 2011. The system will be closed on 11:05, with penalties for late submission.

Extended Distributed Systems 06-18151

Extended Distributed Systems consists of two parts: 1.5hrs examination (80%), continuous assessment (20%). For the continuous assessment part, you are required to write an essay of approximately 2000 words and submitted to the school office by 4pm on Mon 30 April 2007 on one of the following subjects. As a starting point, I have included a suggested resource, which is available in the library or on the web. If you need further references, feel free to contact me.

Subject Suggested and some resources to start:

1. A survey of the UML Superstructure and Infrastructure --- www.omg.org, look for UML standards
2. A survey of a Web Service standard and its relationship with other standards ---www.w3.org, look for Web Service standards and choose one
3. A survey of Open Distributed Processing --- Janis R. Putman, Architecting with RM-ODP
4. A survey of Quality of Service (QoS) in 802.11 --- Jochen Schiller, Mobile Communications
5. A survey of QoS in Bluetooth --- Jennifer Bray,Charles Sturman, Bluetooth 1.1: Connect Without Cables, Second Edition
   

General guidelines for marking this project are as follows:

Class Mark Range Typical Characteristics:

80% or more: Exceptional standards of achievement, which includes all the points mentioned below, i.e. a research survey which identifies and explains at least one research issues
70-79%: Very High levels of understanding of the subject beyond the level of the suggested reference. Sound critical analysis of subject/technologies/methods.
60-69%: Demonstrates a High level of understanding of the basic issues involved based on sound background research and knowledge acquisition from the Suggested Reference.
50-59%: Demonstrates some knowledge of the subject, with at least basic levels of background research and knowledge acquisition.
