Why

All application tables get created while application startup. There is a possibility that one or more tables are already exist with the same name. In such case table creation will fail and hence result in inappropriate behavior by the application.

What

Uniqueness of the table needs to be ensured. Tables can be prefixed with short application name i.e. ORS_.

How

• All tables should be prefixed with ORS_ in h2.sql
• All tables references in the application need to be modified

Description

Logut is very critical for any applicatioin in order to secure the application from unautorised access.

Task list

• Remove session attribute(s)
• Invalidate the session
• Navigate user back to guest home page

help

If tables are already existing and need to be deleted while deploying the application in order to simulate client like application start-up process then drop the existing tables.

• Have a context param in web.xml
• Read it in ContextListener
• If tables need to be dropped as per the parameter, have a method in SchemaDaoImpl to drop the tables

Tables to be dropped must be application table
Dropping should happen before table creation

On startup, tables got created if CreateSchema property is set for ContextListener but if any table is already existing then while creating table, TableCreator fails and hence further schema creation.
