BSU CS HU-310 School Management Final Project

System Requirements

Note: onyx should already have everything you need.

Setup (All)

Environment Variables

This project requires that the following environment variables set:

CS310_PORT - The database management system port
CS310_HOST - The database management system host
CS310_USERNAME - The database management system username
CS310_PASSWORD - The database management system user's password
CS310_DATABASE - The name of the database in the database management system

Database Driver

Additionally, a MySQL database driver must be added to the class path. This project assumes the use of the following database driver:

https://downloads.mysql.com/archives/get/p/3/file/mysql-connector-java-5.1.47.tar.gz

Note: this database driver is already added to this project and is located at src/libs/mysql-connector-java-5.1.47.jar. It will still need to be added to the class path.

Onyx & Unix based setup

Run make setup

This will download a MySQL database driver and place it in ~/opt/mysql-connector-java-5.1.47/mysql-connector-java-5.1.47-bin.jar

SSH Port Forwarding

If you are connecting to a database on Onyx from your own computer you will need to forward the database ports through an SSH connection. You can do this by running the following command

ssh -L <database port goes here>:127.0.0.1:<database port goes here> <onyx username>@onyx.boisestate.edu

NOTE: < and > should not be included.

More details about this can be found here: https://www.ssh.com/ssh/tunneling/example

Running the Application

run make run

This will compile the java files and run the main application.
