Challenge Overview
Competition Task Overview
In previous challenges we've build the SRT phase 4 code and added Estimates related tabs. We've also implemented data syncing between the cloud app and the local app which provided us a fully working app with offline capability.
While that's done and being used, we're ready to move to the next phase: re-build this app as an HTML5 app so that we no longer need to maintain a cloud app and a client app. We'd like to use the offline support of HTML5 and make it transparent to the users.
There will be 10+ assemblies in this series, so now is a good time to get familiar with the project and be prepared for the next ones!!
Requirements
We have already completed all 3 paths (see the SRT process flow.pdf document) in previous challenges and for "Service / Activities" we've implemented the Core tab already.
For this challenge and the next few ones, we'll add more tabs from the SRT 3 path into the HTML 5 app. Specifically:
- We must copy the CTA and Atmos - Centera and ASD tabs into the HTML5 app
- Fix the issues mentioned in challenge forum
- Make sure the tabs work exactly the same in the HTML5 app and the original jsp app
- Make sure offline feature still works correctly for updated code
- Make sure the app works with both Oracle and Postgres databases
- Properly organize your code since we're running multiple challenges in parallel and need to merge them later.
Documents Provided
- Code: we have provided all necessary code in challenge forum.
- Document: the process document is provided for you to understand the different paths.
HTML5
As we've stated already, HTML5 is the focus of this challenge. The frontend should be static pages using Angular.js, JSP is no longer allowed.
Code Base / Structure
The current code is well structured and we'd like the new HTML5 app to follow similar structure, example: web / js frontend code should reside in its own folder. Each folder has its own pom.xml file and there's a parent pom.xml at the root folder.
Let's keep the cloud app frontend for now since it serves the purpose of verifying whether the pages are correctly converted to HTML5.
Browser Compatibility
This must work on latest version of FireFox and Chrome on Mac / Windows / Linux.

Final Submission Guidelines
Submission Deliverables
A complete list of deliverables can be viewed in the TopCoder Assembly competition Tutorial at: http://apps.topcoder.com/wiki/display/tc/Assembly+Competition+Tutorials
Below is an overview of the deliverables:
- Code that covers the requirements
- A (NEW) complete and detailed deployment documented explaining how to deploy the application including configuration information. If deployment guide needs no change then a separate verification guide.
- You can remove the other irrelevant deployment guides from your submission.
- The maven build script to create the war files. Very likely you can reuse the existing one and don't need to modify anything.
Final Submission
For each member, the final submission should be uploaded to the Online Review Tool.
