ACCIS offers CS445, Independent Programming Project, a four-hour elective course for students completing the undergraduate Computer Science program. My project involves designing, building, and testing an application using the Java programming language to handle, format, and deliver reference manual entries marked up in in DocBook-descendant XML.
The application, a basic RefEntry servlet, performs a function similar to the man command on UNIX systems. Instead of handling roff format files and posting formatted results to a terminal, however, the RefEntry servlet handles XML files and posts results in XHTML that can be viewed in most web browsers.
Important The web installer is a self-extracting Java archive. You must have a Java Development Kit, version 1.4 or later, to install the software. You can download a recent Java Development Kit from http://java.sun.com.
Download the web installer: refentry-installer.jar. (Shift+click in Mozilla)
Follow the instructions in the installation documentation.
