About 📋

In this assignment we had to build a elections' system where administrators can create and manage candidates, electors and votes, in real time.

By other side, we had also to build a system that allows electors to create an account using a common login authentication (email+password) or their Facebook accounts.

After selecting a candidate, an elector can share a link to the voting page of the candidate on his Facebook feed.

Running it 🏃

⚠️ VERY IMPORTANTE NOTE:

Keep all the files and directories as they are, otherwise, is not guaranteed it works.

Step 1️⃣
- Run RMI Server with java -jar rmiserver.jar. Then server will ask you for an ip address.
  - If you want to that be the main server, then you must click enter
  - Otherwise you shall input the IPv4 address of the remote machine you want to connect with.
  - NOTE! This process is also applied to Administrator Console and Voting Table
- If you want to run a Secundary Server you just need to run it one more time.
- You can also run RMI Server using make server (make sure you have make syntax on your machine)
Step 2️⃣
- Run webserver.war with a Tomcat server for example, to deploy the website.
Step 3️⃣
- Do not forget that you must have some MultiCast Servers running, so the vote tables turn on.
- To run them you just have to do java -jar server.jar or make mcserver
- NOTE! This process is similar to RMI Server, so you must input the IPv4 address of the Main Server you want to connect
- When you connect it you also must input another IPV4 (and a port), wich is the one where the MultiCast group will be allocated
Step 4️⃣
- And that's it, you might have you entire system working fine now.
