This distribution includes an example web application (acme.com.shoppingcart) built using Aliorsum.

Status

• The WRITE_ONLY value of the Access and Display preferences is not implemented. The basic business model layer is provided just as an example of the kind of functionality that can be provided in this layer to support business applications, but some of the elementary business model classes do not have an associated UI (e.g. elementary UIs for Phone has been provided, but not so for zip code, email, dates and credit card). Many more business objects can be added.
• More descriptive exceptions issued at the earliest point of error detection need to be added.
• A caching mechanism for preferences will be added later.
• The Javadoc API referenced in the Aliorsum article does not contain all the packages in this download. Generate your own Javadoc to include these packages.
• Aliorsum was written and tested using Eclipse.

Distribution Contents

• The jsp directory contains the aliorsum subdirectory with an initial collection of standard renderers to be used by applications which make use of Aliorsum.
• The src directory contains all the java sources.
