The first test in CPSC 371 will be given in class on Wednesday, October 8. It covers Chapters 1 through 7 of Murach's Java Servlets and JSP and Chapters 2 and 4 from Struts KickStart. You should, of course, be familiar with anything that has been covered in class or on assignments. You should expect a large part of the test to consist of essay questions and definitions. However, there will also be questions that ask you to write short sections of JSP pages or Java code. The rest of this page lists some of the terms and ideas that you should be familiar with.
