As to my understanding and experience about the problem, it happens
under the following conditions:
- n (>1) submissions in the list of SubmissionsFrame
- At least one submission in the list that is not late before any of the
  late ones

The result is that the released code will allocate room for as many late
submissions it found, and then start filling the array, but leave empty
slots if the late submissions are not all in the beginning of the
"allModel" and "submissions" arrays.

Hi Harri,

Under what circumstances does the released code generate the out of
bounds exception?

[Cobalt-developers] Fix for "penalise lateness"

[Harri <har...@tu...>]

Hi,

the patch attached attempts to fix the problem present in BOSS 3.2.1
that leads to an uncatched ArrayOutOfBoundsException
SubmissionsFrame.processClick(). The exception bleeds through to event
dispatching thread.

The patch will utilize separate counters for going through the data
model and the resulting lateness arrays (penaltyList and studentList)

I hope you find the fix useful.

Yours,
Harri J=E4rvi

[Cobalt-developers] User interface in MarkingCategoryFrame

[Harri <har...@tu...>]

Hi,

I was thinking about the user interface in MarkingCategory while I was
learning how to expand it to work with a few more test types
besides the JUnit and Simple (Boss1) tests.

As I was trying out the current user interface it was misleading to me
that there was two tabs, but information only from one of the tabs was
saved and when changing toanother marking category with different test
type, the information in the other tab was reflecting that other test's
data.

I concluded to myself that maybe the tabbed pane is not the right UI
element to use here. And I thought that maybe a drop down list could be
the one for this job. I think it's called Combo box in Swing.

What do you people think? Other suggestions?

While I'm at it, I will separate the JUnit and Simple test settings to
separate classes from MarkingCategoryFrame for cleaner code and allow
for future extensions.

Yours,
Harri J=E4rvi

Hi,

it won't probably be easy to implement the checkbox disabling in web
client without use of JavaScript. The benefits might not
be bigger than the disadvantages from adding javascript to the client.

But even if there won't be checkbox disabling in the web client, I don't
see reason for not having it in the GUI client. At least that way GUI
users can get a benefit from using the GUI client.

Attached is patch for
uk.ac.warwick.dcs.cobalt.web.pages.staff.manager.ass.Policy
to rearrange the checkbox as was done in the GUI client by the
previous patch.

I couldn't test the patch since I don't have the web client installed,
but the change seemed trivial, so I wrote it.

Patch is against Boss 3.2.1.

Yours,
Harri J=E4rvi

[Cobalt-developers] Suggestion for two patches for AssessmentFrame

[Harri <har...@tu...>]

Hi,

I sent two patches at the Sourceforge patch tracker. I'm not sure if it
would have been better to send them on the mailing list. Which way do
you prefer on the BOSS project?

Yours,
Harri J=E4rvi

--------

[ 1237472 ] Allow Access checkbox in AssessmentFrame

 There was a typo in the AssessmentFrame.java . The typo
seems to be in both the CVS and the latest release (3.2.1).

This typo caused that the "Allow Access to this
assessment" check box to not function.

The attached patch fixes the problem and also
rearranges the checkboxen in the frame to a more
logical order, where the "allow access" is presented
above the others, because it actually takes precedence
over the others.
This effect could be emphasized by disabling the
other checkboxen if "Allow Access" is not set.

[ 1237584 ] Disabling "Allow Access" checkbox disables the other two

 This patch will disable the "Allow multiple

"Allow access" checkbox is not checked.

This will make the user interface easier to read and

[Cobalt-developers] How to add new automatic tests (was: Re: Is there more documentation about BOSS?)

The online manuals are rather useful and I wish I had them at hand when
I was evaluating BOSS earlier. I think it would be useful for others to
read when they evaluate BOSS and compare it to other alternatives. Could
they be put on your www-server so that they would be more easily
accessible?

I've got BOSS compiled and javadoc generated with gjdoc. I've read parts
of that documentation.

I've looked at some of the code.

At the moment I'm lookin for ways to add different kinds of automatic
tests. It would seem to me that it would require at least one new class
in boss/testing but I don't know what is required to hook it up in the
rest of the BOSS.

It seems to me that also at least on new class has to be introduced in
boss/ for the interface of the settings for the test type.

I would appreciate some helpful hints how to do this, and information on
what I need to pay attention to while doing it.

Also it looks to me that it is only possible for an automatic test to
fail or pass instead of a rating from 0 to 10 or similar, is this true?
What would be required to change this.

 --

For those information that are interested in BOSS's compatibility with
free software implementations of Java tools:

izPack can't be run on free jvm's such as kaffe, sablevm others since
there is no support for swing. So I didn't try further with those, but
installed j2sdk-1.4.

For reference to others:
- free implementation of Java Mail API called GNU JavaMail didn't seem
  to work with BOSS. An Exception that I can't remember was thrown when
  tried to send the user her password.
- free ipmlementation of JavaBeans Activation Framework called GNU JAF
  did seem to work with BOSS
- free implementation of Java Servlet API from Apache Jakarta project
  seems to work with BOSS

Re: [Cobalt-developers] Is there more documentation about BOSS?

[Daniel W. <dan...@gm...>]

Hi,

The documentation supplied with BOSS may contain more information than
the website. Also, if you are interested in modifying the system then
you will need to be able to compile the code and once you can do this
you can also generate the Javadoc for the source code. If you have
more specific questions I would be only too happy to help.

[Cobalt-developers] Is there more documentation about BOSS?

[Harri <har...@tu...>]

Hi,

I am looking for documentation about the implementation and design of
BOSS. I found the following URL which has a lot of dead links. I also
have a copy of the article
"Online Submission of Coursework - a Technological Perspective" by Mike
Joy and Nathan Griffiths.

Are there other documentation? I would be interested in documentation
which would help me understand BOSS's structure and inner workings. I am
interested in taking up BOSS as a tool in my University, but it will
require more understanding about the software and also
making modifications to the system to adapt to our needs.
  That is why I am interested in all the documentation and help I can
find.

Thank you in advance for your reply.

Yours,
Harri J=E4rvi

PS. BOSS is the BOSS online submission system. <http://www.boss.org.uk/>

Re: [Cobalt-developers] Boss Project !

Hi,

What exactly would you like to know? The Sherlock tool available as
part of BOSS is a stand-alone program designed to detect collusion
between students in both source-code and natural language assignments.

Hello,

I've made the following available on my personal webspace on boss.dcs:

* Sun JDK API docs
* BOSS Javadocs
* Latest BOSS Coverage test results

The last two should be updated daily.

http://boss.dcs.warwick.ac.uk:8888/~esunj/

The URL isn't exactly public (and nor should it be) so the affect on boss=
=2Edcs=20
should be minimal.
