** Instructions on how to run the System **
There are a series of batch files in this (\virtualElectionBooth) directory that automate the execution of several components of the system:
Run.command (Runs all three services in new console windows. No parameters are needed, the services are configured to run on localhost.) runCTF.command (Runs the CLAService.) runCLA.command (Runs the CLAService - Run with no params to see usage info.) runVoter.command (Runs the VoterService - Run with no params to see usage info.)
** Instructions on how to build the System: **
The system is built by compiling all source files in the source (\virtualElectionBooth\src) directory and building a jar file out of these classes, and the classes that make up the Cryptix Security Provider libraries, and placing in this directory.
This process was already automated. The resulting jar file has the advantage of being compressed and requiring no environment variables to be run.
