1 Purpose

The primary purpose of this assignment is to help you review (and demonstrate that you have acquired) the knowledge and skills required to develop network applications that involve hierarchical data. Specifically, it involves the use of servlets, the processing of XML documents using XSL-T, and the processing of XML documents using Java.

2 Overview

You must design and implement the software components of KItty, a system that will allow people and "intelligent" devices to transfer recipes and extract the information they need from them.

KIlowBites is being developed for the (fictitious) company KitchIntel.

3 Software Process

This assignment again assumes that KitchIntel uses a heavyweight process

4 Existing Files and Documents

The following planning document exists:

The following recipes (in XML) have been created for testing purposes:

5 Submission

You must submit (using Autolab) a .zip file named pa8.zip that contains all of your code (written in both Java and XSL-T). You should not submit any of the code that was provided to you (i.e., for the HTTP server) unless you make substantial changes to it.

6 Grading

The grade you receive on this assignment will be based on the effort you devote to it. If you make a "serious" effort and have a design and implementation that can be argued to be correct, you will receive a grade of 100. If you make a "serious" effort but your design and/or implementation clearly has major defects, you will receive a grade of 75. If you make a "half-hearted" effort, you will receive a grade of 50. Otherwise, you will receive a grade of 0.
