Naming convention is not strictly enforced in this project due to the limited development time. However, the naming convention for files can be summarized as follows:

  • XXX.jsp: a jsp generates html page (with GUI).
  • setXXX.jsp: a jsp which handle the form request from XXX.jsp (POST)
  • getXXX.jsp: a jsp which handle the hyper link request (GET).
