Tutorial Feature List - Sample code needed

[John Menke <jo...@eagleinfosystems.com>]

This is an updated version of the Feature List for the proposed Tutorial.
We have a suggested  base use case (it's very simple and will need to be
changed to accommodate features).

ANY SUGGESTIONS OR ADDITIONS ARE WELCOME!

ANY SAMPLE CODE DONATIONS ARE WELCOME ALSO!

SUGGESTED USE CASE SCENARIO (very simple)

Simple Database Access Application

1.	User logs into system
2.	User is presented with data
3.	User edits data
4.	System updates data
5.	User views new data

Alternative (Authorization Failure) -   system gives user chance to log in
again


I will integrate the features below into the use case as our course of
action becomes clearer.


FEATURE LIST
------------

User Management Capabilities:

- We should integrate this capability within the system.  User should be
able to change site configuration.  (Maybe we could tie this in with the
templating system?)


Integration with template systems: Velocity, WebMacro, Cocoon, FreeMarker,
JSP, ECS

-  we could show how to design a system using Model 2 methodology having
Turbine servlets as the Controller and the templating systems as the views.
It would be great if we could demonstrate how to make the controller generic
enough to be able to support more than one view.  We should implement at
least one view - I suggest JSP - but show how it's possible to switch view
implementation to any of the other template systems




Utility code for working with Velocity and WebMacro, such as a SelectorBox
class for building <select> boxes

- This could be demonstrated within the View implementation


Single Entry Point Servlet model for optimal security and control

- This could be demonstrated in the login step of the use case


Singleton based Database Connection Pool (JDBC) with built in support for
all of the major databases

- The tutorial could show how to implement connection pooling to update the
data.


ParameterParsing for GET/POST/PATH_INFO

-  UI would have forms where we could demonstrate this

Event based Action handling!

- Not sure how to implement this (any suggestions)?


Strict MVC guidelines implemented through many interfaces and abstract
classes as well as through the template systems.

- This goes along with the templating idea above


Integration with 5 Object-Relational tools: DatabaseMap/Peers, Village,
Town, OPaL, Castor

- Not sure how to implement this (any suggestions)?

IDBroker that abstracts the autoinsert/sequence usage from the database

- Not sure how to implement this (any suggestions)?

DatabaseMap generation tool that will read a schema and generate the Java
classes for you

- Not sure how to implement this (any suggestions)?

Failsafe Job based scheduler system (ie: a Java based cron)

- Not sure how to implement this (any suggestions)?

GlobalCache (Singleton based system for caching data across servlets and
requests)

- Not sure how to implement this (any suggestions)?

DateSelector (utility for building the HTML for popup date menus)

- This could possibly be used within the context of the GUI

File Upload API

- This could possibly be used - maybe the database contains pictures?

Generic Services API for creating Singletons

- Not sure how to implement this (any suggestions)?


Castor Service Integration

- Not sure how to implement this (any suggestions)?


XML-RPC Service Integration

 - Not sure how to implement this (any suggestions)?

Localization Services API

 - possibly integrate with UI presentation?


JNDI Services API

 - if we expand use case so that back end is EJB's this could be
demonstrated


Visitor/Member API for managing users

- Not sure how to implement this (any suggestions)?

Temporary and Permanent storage/management for users session data

- Not sure how to implement this (any suggestions)?


ACL (Access Control List) based security system that uses Roles and
Permissions (and the database schemas)

- Not sure how to implement this (any suggestions)?


BrowserDetector class for determining which browser someone is using

- Not sure how to implement this (any suggestions)?

GenerateUniqueId class for getting a unique number (ie: for sessions)

- Not sure how to implement this (any suggestions)?

Logging to a file facility.

- We could implement logging in the application


Property file reader tools and a TurbineResources service to make it easy to
retrieve properties

- Not sure how to implement this (any suggestions)?

Integration with JavaMail to make sending email painless

- Not sure how to implement this (any suggestions)?

Integration with JavaMail and Velocity/WebMacro to allow you to send
processed Velocity templates as email!

- Not sure how to implement this (any suggestions)?


Built using Ant

 - Not sure how to implement this (any suggestions)?

Initial application development WAR archive creation tool using Ant

 - Not sure how to implement this (any suggestions)?
