(https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nX_inqaAzOI&feature=youtu.be&hd=1)


APPLICATION CAPABILITIES:

1)Enter fibonacci number in numberic form on 'home' jsp page .
2)Calls rmi remote fibonacci service.
3)Calculate fibonacci sequence on server side.
4)Returns fibonacci sequence as an array 'fibSequence' to FibonacciServlet.
5)Passes fibonacci sequence to 'result' page to output in an input field.
6)Hyper link to navigate back to 'home' page.

*Funtionalities not implemented due to time constraints:

1)Message queueing system
2)Polling mechanism
3)Polling page, present but not implemented

*Critiques:

1)Passing fibonacci sequence array through url not ideal.
2)Array printed including array brackets.
3)No messaging queue implemnted.
