About the application
---------------------
This application demonstrates the usage of JavaEE Web Annotations.


Contents of the application
---------------------------
1. AccountServlet.java - Demonstrates the @WebServlet and @ServletSecurity annotation.

NOTES: @WebServlet annotation designates the AccountServlet class as a Servlet component.
       The usage of its parameters 'urlPatterns' & 'initParams' can be observed.
       An initialization parameter 'type' is being set to denote the type of the bank account.
       
       @ServletSecurity annotation imposes security constraints on the AccountServlet based on
       the tomcat-users.xml (this code assumes there is a role 'admin' in your tomcat-users.xml)
   
N.B : To see  @ServletSecurity annotation in action, please uncomment the annotation code 
      for @ServletSecurity.
      
      
2. BankAppServletContextListener.java - Demonstrates the @WebListener annotation for denoting a class as a ServletContextListener.
   
NOTES: Sets a Servlet context attribute ATTR_DEFAULT_LANGUAGE to 'english' on web application start up, 
       which can then be used throughout the application.


3. LogInFilter.java - Demonstrates the @WebFilter annotation.
                      
NOTES: @WebFilter annotation designates the LogInFilter class as a Filter component.
       It filters all requests to the bank account servlet and redirects them to
       the login page.
       
N.B : To see @WebFilter annotation in action, please uncomment the annotation code for @WebFilter.


4. UploadCustomerDocumentsServlet.java - Demonstrates the @MultipartConfig annotation.

NOTES: @MultipartConfig anotation designates the UploadCustomerDocumentsServlet Servlet component, 
       to handle multipart/form-data requests.
       To see it in action, deploy the web application an access the url: http://<your host>:<your port>/JavaEEAnnotationsSample/upload.jsp
       Once you upload a file from here, it will get uploaded to D:/custDocs (assuming such a folder exists).
       
 
5. index.jsp - This is the welcome page.

NOTES: You can enter a deposit amount here and click on the 'Deposit' button to see the AccountServlet in action.

6. login.jsp - All requests to the AccountServlet are redirected to this page, if the LogInFilter is imposed.

7. upload.jsp - Demonstrates the usage of handling multipart/form-data requests by the UploadCustomerDocumentsServlet.
