It is important to create the Classes files first, then create the Pages. Five files are provided, including two Classes, and three Pages. The files should be created in this order:

2. Class DirectoryController.java

4. Page Directory.jsp
5. Page SearchPage.jsp

To add the Pages and Classes:

1. To create the (.java) Java pages, follow the instructions at Add a Class

   Create the class Directory.java from: Directory.java

   • Copy and paste the contents into the Class
   • Save the file as Directory.java

   Create the class DirectoryController.java from: DirectoryController.java

   • Copy and paste the contents into the Class
   • Save the file as DirectoryController.java

2. To create the (.jsp) Java Server Pages, follow the instructions at Add a Page

   Create the page AddUpdate.jsp from: AddUpdate.jsp

   • Copy and paste the contents into the Page
   • Save the file as AddUpdate.jsp

   Create the page Directory.jsp from: Directory.jsp

   • Copy and paste the contents into the Page
   • Save the file as Directory.jsp

   Create the page SearchPage.jsp from: SearchPage.jsp

   • Copy and paste the contents into the Page
   • Save the file as SearchPage.jsp

3. To invoke the Directory page from the URL, copy and paste the following into a web browser. A valid username and password is required to log in to the platform.
