Project1 Involves Building A Web Application That Is Designed Using J


Develop a web application using the Java Server Pages (JSP) Model-View-Controller (MVC) design pattern and Model 1 architecture to create a subtraction quiz game. The application should generate random subtraction questions where the first number is always greater than or equal to the second number. After the user completes all questions, the application must display the results, including the user's answers and the correct answers.


The project requires designing the application architecture, implementing the JSP pages, JavaBeans, and servlets as necessary, and providing comprehensive documentation and testing artifacts. You must submit all source code, architecture diagrams, test plans, screenshots, setup instructions, and SQL scripts in a zipped folder named accordingly (e.g., StudentFirstInitialStudentLastNameProject1.zip).


Paper For Above instruction


The task of developing a subtraction quiz web application using JSP with Model 1 architecture and MVC design pattern presents an excellent opportunity to understand the integration of front-end and back-end components in Java-based web development. In this project, the primary goal is to create an interactive, user-friendly quiz platform that dynamically generates subtraction questions and evaluates user inputs with corresponding feedback.


At the core, the architecture comprises several key components: JSP pages for the view layer, JavaBeans for the model, and servlets or controllers to manage the flow of data and user interactions. The submission requirements emphasize thorough planning, implementation, and documentation, aligning with best practices in software engineering.


Design Architecture and Components


The architecture follows the Model-1 pattern, where the JSP page itself may act as both the front-end interface and a controller, but for better separation of concerns, it is advisable to incorporate servlets as controllers. The JavaBean models the quiz data, including questions, user responses, and correct answers.


The workflow begins with the JSP page displaying the initial question generated randomly within the servlet or controller. When the user submits an answer, the servlet processes the input, updates the model, and either presents the next question or the final results page. The final page summarizes user responses, displays the correct answers, and provides feedback.


Implementation Details


The application initiates with an index.jsp page containing a link to start the quiz, invoking a servlet such as QuizControllerServlet. This servlet initializes quiz parameters, generates questions, and forwards the data to quiz.jsp to display questions. JavaBeans store question data and user responses, enabling data persistence throughout the quiz session.


The questions are generated randomly, with the logic ensuring the first number is greater than or equal to the second number. User answers are captured through HTML forms, transmitted to the servlet for processing, and stored in the JavaBean. Upon completion, the results are displayed on a summary JSP page, including each question, user answer, and correct answer, along with overall score.


Setup and Deployment


To set up the project, open the NetBeans IDE compatible with your environment. Import the project folder, compile the source code, and configure the application server (Tomcat or GlassFish). Start the server through NetBeans or manually, and deploy the project. Access the application via a web browser pointing to the local server URL, typically localhost:8080/ProjectName/index.jsp.


Ensure that web.xml is appropriately configured to map servlets and JSP pages. Include SQL scripts if required for persistent storage, along with instructions on executing them in your database environment. The application can be tested with various data sets, including edge cases such as minimum and maximum operand values, to ensure robustness and correctness.


Testing and Documentation


Develop a comprehensive test plan including scenarios such as starting a quiz, submitting answers, handling invalid inputs, and verifying final results. Capture screenshots of each test case demonstrating input parameters and output results. Document the architecture, including class diagrams, flowcharts, and descriptions of each component’s responsibilities.


Summary


In conclusion, this project encapsulates core principles of web application development with JSP, MVC, and Model 1 architecture. Proper implementation ensures modularity, maintainability, and scalability. Submitting well-organized source files, thorough documentation, and effective testing will demonstrate proficiency in Java web development technologies.
