Program the user interface of your VOD web site database system. This should be done using HTML. (You can also use Java applets for fancy special effects in the user interface.) Each transaction described in the General Description of the Database Programming Project should be accounted for.
You should use forms, text boxes, menus, buttons, and whatever other widgets you see fit to achieve an easy-to-use user interface to your database. You must also provide on-line documentation briefly explaining how the user interacts with your GUI in order to carry out each of the various transactions.
For this assignment, you need not and should not write the Java, JDBC, and SQL code needed to connect to the DB2 database server and actually perform the transactions. You will need to do this to finish up your project and prepare for the demo that you will be asked to give at the end of the semester. By all means, however, get started on the SQL as soon as possible since the semester is already half over -- just don't hand it in with this assignment.
To hand in this assignment, send an
email to the TA with the URL for your user interface. This URL should be a
"cold link" (as opposed to a hot link) in that it should be accessible only to
you and the TA. Be sure to include the name of your team and team members
in the email and briefly indicate which team member did what on this
assignment.
