This machine has been setup to support Website Development (CS3520) as well as other courses. Its webserver (Apache) has been configured to support Server Side Includes (SSI), and CGI programming in C/C++/Perl.

Ebox supports the current versions of the Java Servlet 2.3/JSP 1.2 API's using Tomcat 4.0. The guidelines that must be followed to do Servlet and JSP development are somewhat involved, but well documented in all modern Java Servlet and JSP texts. This of course is required by Sun's changes to the Servlet/JSP spec between the 2.0 and 2.3 versions. Please read carefully the documentation posted here as well as Sun's posted material on the servlet development as well as web application deployment.

If you require other/newer tools, libraries, classes, etc. added to the environment, let me know (dallen@mcs.csueastbay.edu).

Howto's

Examples of a variety of common tasks (posting a homepage, a cgi script, java servlet, etc.) have been prepared to show how those tasks are accomplished on ebox.

Available Tools

The machine has been set up with the usual collection of open source development tools, particularly those that support web development. If there are other tools required to support the development you would like to do, let me know (dallen@mcs.csueastbay.edu).
