Web Technologies
A Computer Science Perspective

Supplements Site

This site provides some supplements for my textbook, Web Technologies: A Computer Science Perspective. Instructors should also visit the Prentice Hall Web site for the textbook, where lecture slides and solutions to end-of-chapter questions can be downloaded. The primary supplement here is a downloadable file containing source for examples and other supplemental files mentioned in chapters and exercises. Errata and my contact information (so that you can send me errata ;-) are also available.

Obtaining Java and JWSDP 1.3

You need a Java 1.4.1 or 1.4.2 installation in order to run the JWSDP 1.3 software used as an example in the textbook. You can obtain either of these versions of Java by visiting the Java SE 1.4 archive. Release 1.4.2_19 is the latest release for most systems.

Examples and Supplemental Files

Complete source files for examples as well as some code snippets contained in the text are available for download in two formats: zip or jar.

• WebTechSource.zip: Click the link to download and save the file. In Windows XP, double-click the downloaded file and click the "Extract all files" link in the "Folder tasks" pane. Then use the Compressed Folders Extraction Wizard to produce a folder containing the source files. In Linux, use the unzip command to extract the files.
• WebTechSource.jar: Right-click the link and select "Save (Link) Target As..." from the context menu. Select a location and save the file. If you save it as a .jar file, use the command jar xf WebTechSource.jar to extract the files. Alternatively, in Windows XP, if you save the file with a .zip extension then you can double-click the saved file and use "Extract all files" as above.
