Question No: 1 Marks: 15

You are required to build a number guessing game using servlets only. All of the HTML
will be generated from the servlet. Computer can think a number for each user between 1 to
100. User can enter a number in the space provided for this purpose and presses “guess”
button. If this entered number is matched with the one thought by the computer, a message
“your guess is right” would be displayed on the same page. A message “your guess is too
high, choose small” would be displayed if the number entered is greater than of computer
on the same page. Similarly, a message “your guess is too low, choose high” would be
displayed if the number entered is lesser than of computer on the same page. User can
continue to play until he/she guessed the right number or closes the browser manually.
Nothing fancy is required to solve this problem.

Hint: Computer can think of a number using random function and can store it in session.

You are going to build a part of E-Mail system. The database that will be used for this
system is given below

When your application starts, the “index.jsp” would be displayed. User will provide user
name & password to login.

If user name & password are correct, the program will lead to “inbox.jsp”. This page will
display “from” & “subject” of the messages related to the user in tabular format. By
selecting any message, user can read the message text on “message.jsp”.

The user can return to “index.jsp” by clicking on hyperlinks available at bottom of

“message.jsp” and “inbox.jsp”.

If the user supplies incorrect username or password, the user will be taken to a page
“invalidlogin.jsp” with an option of going back to the index.jsp page

You are required to use JSP (and /or Servlets) and JavaBeans to solve this problem.

Simplifications

No fancy HTML is required. Selection of message can be done by any means (e.g.
hyperlinks, radio buttons etc.)

List A contains directories of a standard web application and List B contains some
files/classes. Match items of List B with List A.

List A List B
1 Customer\ web.xml
2 Customer\Web-INF\ CustomerLibDAO.class
3 Customer\Web-INF\classes Customer.jsp
4 Customer\Web-INF\lib Somelib.jar
Question No: 4 Marks: 15
Suppose there is a web application in which a user can determine the factorial of a number.
User gives a number in a text field and presses submit button. The application calculates
the factorial and displays it on the same page. There is a bean known as “MathBean” which
has a method for calculating factorial.

User can repeat the process as many times as required. When user presses the finish button,
user is taken to a page where all the results, which the user has calculated, will be displayed
with a Thank you message. The results calculated by user are stored in a bean known as
“ResultsBean”.

Besides calculating factorial user can do different operations such as nCr, nPr through this
application, a bean known as “OperationListBean” contains the list of all the operations
that a user can do. These operations are common for all users. Identify the scope (session,
request, page, application etc) for each of the above mentioned beans in a web application.
Why you would put that bean in that scope?

Name of Bean Scope Why?

MathBean

Question No: 5 Marks: 30
Create a simple web application that takes the id of a student and list the courses in which
the student has enrolled, either for the current semester or all courses he or she has attended
so far (depending upon the option selected). If the user gives an invalid id, it asks the user
to give a valid one.

A JSP (findcourses.jsp) to get id and option from the user. The option indicates whether a
student wants to see the courses of the current semester or wants to see the full list. You
can use any method to get option (e.g. checkbox, text field etc.)

A java bean that will get the courses from the database and send an object back which
contains the registered courses.

a) Assume we have a table with columns (id , course , isCurrentTrimesterCourse , year )

b) The dsn for db is “coursesdb”

A JSP (courselist.jsp) to present the data to user and a jsp to indicate invalid
Id(invalidId.jsp) with an option to go back to findcourses.jsp

You are required to use JSP (and /or Servlets) and JavaBeans to solve this problem.

No fancy HTML is required.
