Java Work Demo Created

A prospective client asked for a code demo and I'm happy to oblige. I put together a simple web application that manages job listings. It's quite simple: list, create, retrieve, update and delete are all supported. the idea is to show:

A) I know what I'm doing
B) I can write Java and .Net software
C) I'm ready for anything. Bring it on

granted, I got a little carried away with that last point.

The code is written in Java 1.5 and the Spring Framework (MVC) 2.5 (complete with 2.5's MVC annotations configuration.)

It's available here for download (31MB).

Instructions

prerequisites:

Java 1.5 or greater installed on your machine.
Port 8080 not in use.

1. Download the file(31MB).
2. Unzip the file to your favourite location on your hard drive.
3. From a command prompt, navigate to the [place you extracted the file's contents]/workDemo/jobSearch.
4. execute the jobsearch_install.sh or jobsearch_install.bat. (or just execute "../support/apache-ant-1.7.1/bin/ant all" )
5. navigate to the url the build spits out at you (it should be http://localhost:8080/jobsearch)

There's more information in the README.txt file in the jobSearch directory.

I'd love to hear your feedback so I can improve upon it. I'm not trying to create the next HR application, just trying to demo myself here (and, yes, I know the graphic design is scaaaaaaaaaary).

Thanks!
