  • 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.

  • 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.

Monday
  • Short meeting for recalling current activities and accomplished steps.
  • New blog configured and updated with previous daily feed (ystallonne.wordpress.com).

  • 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.
