So basically when we upload a file and click on the file the page should look like the one attached

one more question regarding regarding Maven packaging if we decide to go that route.  Are we modifying the pom.xml file in the target/m23-wtp/web-resources/Meta_Inf/maven/edu.csula/csns2.

And what do mean "if we decide to go that route"? You are required to generate the zip file using mvn package.

are we required to have the reference to database to c3 or local for home work submission?  I made the connection to my cs520stuxx and it is working but I do not have permission to create another database names csns2 .

You don't need to use CS3.

I checked the zip package created by maven and surprisingly it does not contain "build.properties" but contains "build.properties.sample" , why is that ? I packaged my project by maven after running it so this file should be included ?

You should be able to answer this question yourself.

To submit your code, run mvn package (or the equivalent in Eclipse). Thought we could use something else.  Also where is the mvn.bat file when we download maven  I canot find it to build the external tool config.

You don' t need mvn.bat. Read slide 15 and 16 of the Maven lecture notes.

Ok thanks professor.   I actually just had to build the project.  Odd thing though when I built the project the zip file was being created in C->users directory rather then my project directory which is C->development->cs520.  Is that by default.  I am sure its defined in the pom file.  I am running on a vista machine.

The default output directory is ${project.build.directory}, which by default is the target folder under your project folder. So either you changed the output directory of the single goal in pom.xml, or for some reason Maven think your ${project.build.directory} is your home directory, which is likely to cause problems in the future.
