1. To run a servlet based application, you need the Apache Tomcat
   servlet container, which comes bundled with the Netbeans IDE.
   So, you need the Netbeans IDE. 

2. In the lab machines, there is Netbeans 5.0. The example that I have 
   posted is tested to run with this version of Netbeans in the 
   lab linux machines. 
   You can run Netbeans from the lab linux machines by executing 
      netbeans --jdkhome /usr/java/latest
   (you need to be in the lab for that, not from ssh remotely)
   Then load the example (after unzipping it) by doing 'Open Project'
   from the 'File' menu. 
   Do not forget to set you user name and password in the ConnectionManager class.
   To compile, do right click on the project node, and give 'Clean and build'. 
   To run press F6. 
   To test the Insert servlet, you need the Movie table 
   in ORACLE (see ORACLE slides).   

3. If you want to run the example at your computer at home, 
   you need to install Netbeans 5.0. You can download it 
   from the link I have posted in this course Web page. 
   Alternatively, you can download it from: 
   http://www.netbeans.info/downloads/all.php?b_id=1193&src=1

4. If you try the example at your computer at home, then 
   you additionally need to:
    a) Set the ssh tunnel as described. 
    b) Download the ORACLE jdbc jar file (from the course Web page)
       and then right click on the project node and select 'properties'. 
       Then, click on 'libraries', delete the dangling jar path 
       and add the jar file. 
    c) Set your user name and password in the ConnectionManager class, 
       and replace the server name oracle.csc.uvic.ca by localhost.
