Praise the lord, it's working!

I am thrilled to say my I've got the first few pages finally working. What a pain in the bum that was! Turns out my code was fine. Timmy the whizz figured out that the problem was actually with my netbeans. It couldn't find my servlet ( even though it was there, in the right place) so Timmy showed me how to connect it manually and then the xml file had to be manually updated. Whew! I owe you a pint Timmy. As it stands now, I have my 'login' and 'register new user' function working. I can't even begin to describe what a relief it is to say that. Now, on to the next step.

Presentation is over :)

I had my prototype presentation today at 12 and all seemed to go ok. It was a pity that I didn't have the login fixed in time but they were pretty understanding about the fact that its a simple, if not rediculously annoying problem and I should figure it out soon. All the code is there to prove it! They seemed pretty pleased with my progress and are now just willing me to get it done in time. Design-wise, pat loves the logo and the general feel so I'm totally chuffed about that. A weight has been lifted ( and replaced with a different one). Now we're into the home stretch. Lord help me....

At Denise's request...

D-day!

Demonstration of our "working prototype" is on Thursday and you can almost taste the panic in the lab. They neglected to tell us that we had to present our work in front of the entire year which is an added pressure, can't say I'm very impressed by the idea. At the moment I'm trying to do the best I can to get as much as possible together for then. Tomorrow I continue with my login and registration WHICH I WILL GET WORKING! (breathe Sarah, breathe). I also must start putting together my storyboard and get my flow chart printed up fo the lecturers. Oh the fun.... Forget biscuits, I'm giving up sleep for lent.

Ugh....

Rag week is over, my head is sore and I have much to do. I am still having trouble with my login. at this stage i'm just fully convinced that Java is having a great big laugh at my expense. It worked fine for my practical but appears to be unwilling to cooperate with me these days. Booooooo!

Aaaawwww yeah...

here's a snap shot of the generated xml. It is displayed in the bottom textbox.

Forgot to chuck this one in with the rest. I'll be back soon with the final batch!
