This tutorial illustrates various aspects of Hamlet programming as it provides a number of practical Hamlet examples. The examples are part of WebZEC (Web-based Zurich Event Console) -- a fast, browser-based console to quickly navigate in intrusion-detection alarms. With these samples, you can develop a good understanding how to use Hamlets for Web-based application development and how Hamlets work.

Prerequisites

• This tutorial assumes that the reader has experience with HTML or XHTML. The XHTML code used in the examples is not explained.
• It is also assumed that the reader is familiar with the Java language and the concepts of object-oriented programming. Hamlets are servlet extensions, and therefore a good understanding of Java servlets is essential.

System requirements

• You will need JavaScript enabled in your browser.
• The examples in this tutorial were built with the Apache Ant build utility (http://ant.apache.org/) and deployed on the Apache Tomcat servlet container (http://jakarta.apache.org/tomcat/).
• They require the hamlet.jar library which is available from IBM alphaWorks.
