Design Aspects of the COMET Multimedia Database
Over the past year, The Cooperative Program for Operational Meteorology,
Education and Training (COMET) has endeavored to provide our sponsors
access to graphics and other media generated for training modules. We have
achieved this goal by means of a web-based application, the COMET
Multimedia Database (CMDB). The CMDB allows users to search for, browse,
and download various types of media and reuse them in educational content
development and for other related purposes. This web application utilizes a Model
View Controller (MVC) paradigm: Javabeans and a relational database hold
model information, Java Server Pages (JSPs) supply the view, and the
Jakarta Struts framework provides a controller mechanism. In this paper
we delineate the web application design and features of the application
itself.
