ESAPI Swingset

The ESAPI Swingset is a web application which demonstrates the many uses of the Enterprise Security API (ESAPI).

Swingset is now in beta stage. Much of Swingset is still incomplete, but many ESAPI functions are working.

Download/Run

This Swingset/Apache Tomcat bundle contains everything you need to get Swingset up and running in a matter of minutes. No installation is necessary (assuming you have a Java JDK installed), just edit one line of a batch file or shell script and you're ready to go!

Download the JDK

If it is not already installed, please download a Java JDK version 5 or later. Tomcat, the web server you will be using, requires a JDK, rather than a JRE, due to the use of JSPs in ESAPI Swingset.

The Java JDK is available here.

Setup and Run Swingset

Setup Swingset for Windows

1. Extract ESAPI_Swingset.zip to a directory of your choice.
2. Open Windows Explorer and Navigate to the directory to which ESAPI_Swingset.zip was extracted
3. Open Tomcat_6.0.18_start.bat with notepad
4. Set your JAVA_HOME environment variable to a JDK version 5 or later. To do this, change the line "set JAVA_HOME=jdk_directory" to your Java install directory, where "jdk_directory" is the root of your Java directory. For many, the line will look like: "set JAVA_HOME=C:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.6.0_10". Please remember that Swingset requires JDK version 5 or higher. A JRE installation will not work.
5. Save the file

Running Swingset on Windows

1. Navigate to the ESAPI_Swingset directory
2. Execute Tomcat_6.0.18_start.bat. This can be done through the command line or by double clicking the file.
3. If you followed the installation instructions in this wiki, Tomcat should now be running
4. Open a web browser and navigate to http://localhost:8080/main
5. You should see the ESAPI Swingset start page

How Can I help with Swingset

The ESAPI Swingset is still in an early beta stage. Many pages within Swingset are still incomplete, and we could certainly use some help getting them finished. If you are interested in helping, please check out Swingset's [SVN repository].

If you have any ideas for how the ESAPI Swingset could be better, or if you would like to submit new code, please contact Jeff Williams.
