CS298 Proposal

Title: Web-Based IDE for Interfacing View Controller

Tejasvi Palvai (tejasvireddy@gmail.com)

Advisor: Dr. Chris Pollett

Committee Member:Robert Chun

Abstract:

The main idea of this project is to develop a web based IDE that enables users to create XHTML pages using drag and drop mechanism in Struts. Struts extend Java Servlet API to encourage developers to adopt MVC (Model-View-Controller) architecture. I will be developing a web application for interfacing view and controller part of the MVC architecture. It connects the View and Controller components when the user drag and drop the elements in the UI of the IDE. With this project, users can create dynamic web pages without having any knowledge in XHTML or SQL queries. MVC is seen in web applications where the view is the XHTML generated by the app. Model-View-Controller is an Architecture pattern that isolates business logic from input and presentation. Model is the domain specific representation of the data upon which the application operates whereas view renders the model into a form suitable for interaction, typically a user interface element, Multiple views can exist for a single model for different purpose. Controller receives input and initiates a response by making calls on model objects.

This project will be built using Struts framework and JQuery JavaScript.

CS297 Results:

  • Struts demo application.
  • Performance testing of JavaScript frameworks.
  • Developed a file system for IDE.
  • Layout of Web based ide including the drag and drop functionality.
