Link Week of June 10th Week Day Today's work Blog URL Monday Connection Pool Architecture considerations were better understood in order to have an operating implementation regarding the database connectivity. Multiple connections issue was partially solved (some tests need to be taken). Currently, application handles more than one user always minimizing the number of open connections with the database. Link Tuesday Minor corrections (imports, unused variables, unused methods, comments). New method for generating salt was implemented. Methods description and expected comments were included in existing classes. MVC software architecture pattern implementation is in progress. Link Wednesday MVC is being implemented; now, project includes first classes and their respective Data Acess Objects (DAO). Some use case descriptions were written.

Link Friday “Manage Class Settings”, “Manage Meetings”, and “Manage Lectures” use cases specifications were written for “Employee”, “Professor”, Student, “Guest/Non LDAP User”, “Department Admin”, and “Super Admin” actors. Link Week of June 3rd Week Day Today's work Blog URL Monday Short meeting for recalling current activities and accomplished steps. New blog configured and updated with previous daily feed (ystallonne.wordpress.com). Started writing a “Configurations Guide” for setting up Tomcat and Eclipse in order to run JSP Web applications. Debugged SenecaBBB project to re-establish connection with the database located in a virtual machine. Link Tuesday Database connection using Eclipse and MySQL was established by modifying some of the prototype connection code. All steps for setting up software tools were successfully accomplished. Instructions on how to accordingly set up the whole development environment (including the ones for installing Java, Tomcat, and Eclipse, as well as for importing the prototype from the GitHub repository) were all compiled in a Configuration Guide, which was specially written to make the process easier for the entire team (It also includes how to set up the MySQL database on Ubuntu 12.04 based on the README.md file located in the SenecaBBB GitHub repository, and adds an explanation about how to establish a connection from Eclipse). Link Wednesday Database was replaced by the revised version. Implications from the new database version were implemented in the prototype’s index page. Security measures for protecting user information are in progress. New class called PasswordHash.java was included with methods for creating and validating hashes (necessary improvements to this class are likewise in progress). Link Thursday Improvements in the PasswordHash.java class and minor change in the JSP code and the CSS used in the login page. New class (DBConnection.java) created to handle connection with database and retrieve data from it with all queries being transferred to this file. The prototype version that is running on Eclipse was made available at GitHub for testing purposes (https://github.com/ystallonne/TestingJSP.git), and it is being mantained using GitHub features on Eclipse for keeping it regularly updated. Link Friday Updated version of the Database is now being used. Singleton design pattern implemented for the database connection class (DBConnection.java). It prevents any other class from instantiating this class. Attempts to minimize multiple connections are currently being taken. Link Week of May 27th Week Day Today's work Blog URL Monday - - Tuesday - - Wednesday Set up of workspace environment. Installation of OS and necessary software tools. Short meeting for reviewing prototype. Link Thursday Remaining software installations. Meeting for defining main goals. Detailed prototype review; first tasks assigned, and database changes discussed. First task started: software downloaded and successfully installed. Link Friday Work in progress on the first main task. Main software tools integration was tested (eclipse IDE and Tomcat server) with a small JSP project, which includes a connection with a MySQL database, running on Tomcat server. Link
