Requirements

1. Oracle Java 1.8 or newer
2. Maven 3
3. A working internet connection

Execution

This module is not intended to run as a stand-alone mode. It is a core module to be used for all other modules of the repository (EaW1805).

Some test cases are included to test the operation of the data managers.

Configuration

No particular configuration is necessary apart from the username/password for accessing the mysql database. These are provided as environmental properties (dbusername and dbpassword), that are passed using the -D=. For example:

mvn3 -Ddbusername=example -Ddbpassword=mypassword test

Structure

The module comprises of the following main components:

1. model - contains all the class definition for the entities of the game, and some support entities for the web site.
2. managers - all the class definitions for performing CRUD operations over a relational database based on hibernate.
3. dto - pojo objects for the data transfer of objects with the GWT client implementing the com.google.gwt.user.client.rpc.IsSerializable interface.
4. constants - various constants used throughout the game for the implementation of the existing game scenaria.
5. cache - basic interfaces for the implementation of the caching scheme at the web level (using aop).

The resources include the hibernate configuration files (xml) for the ORM.
