Introduction
The jVote is an easy to use and manage system.
All the system is resumed to a set of .jsp pages (well, almost JSP :)) which access an SQL database

The pages divide into two categories:

• Voting: An easy voting page and a partial results page, which exibits the results as percentage in a gauge style
• Administration: A centralized page to manage polls and answers, and also to edit or erase existing ones

Pages

• admin.jsp: defines a new poll and it's possible answers
• vote.jsp: exibits a poll to be voted (passed as parameter)
• result.jsp: exibits the partial results of a given poll

Database

The database is composed by two simple tables, which store the polls and answers.

• enquete
  - codigo int
  - question varchar(100)

• respostas
  - codigo int
  - answer varchar(40)
  - quantVotes int

Database generation Scripts

• Download of the scripts for SqlServer or MySql

Installation

• Copy the .jsp files to your webapplication. Modify the database driver on the vote.jsp and admin.jsp pages, if necessary
• Generate the database using the given scripts
• Configurate users who can access the administration pages (and their passwords) in the users.txt file
• Download of all files may be done here

To Do

• Cookies to manage users (not to allow users to vote twice)
• Criptography of passwords on the users.txt
• Correct the calculum for statistical drawing (values are being truncated)
• Wml version of voting and admin pages, already being developed

Pages featuring jVote

• The system can be "tested" in two polls at the isavvix site: : the pages are http://member.isavvix.com/herval/vote.jsp?enquete=1002 e http://member.isavvix.com/herval/vote.jsp?enquete=1003 - both polls in portuguese

If you use the jVote (or any voting poll based on it) in your page, contact-me and let your page figure into this list!
