[Building Sakai] A symptom checker which will save user results

[Steve Swinsburg]

Hi Urmila,

You could use a servlet, though thats pretty basic. You can use the Sakai SqlService to get a DB connection, though you'll be writing JDBC.

Most people use a UI layer for their apps like Spring MVC or Wicket or even just JSP (there are others, all with their pros and cons), and then some sort of DB layer underneath like Hibernate or Spring JDBC.
Then you can register your webapp as a Sakai tool.

You probably want to start here:

You can generate a working tool using the archetypes:

cheers,
Steve
