Purpose and usage of this module

This module provides the user interface to manage (maintain) the datasets, meaning the user can create new, edit and delete datasets. In the DHIS a dataset is used to organise the data entry (registration of data) and to organise the reporting of data between organisational units in the organisational hierarchy. A dataset contains a name, an interval (the frequency to register data), a set of data elements as well as a reference to the ?same? (explained below) dataset at the level above in the organisational hierarchy.

• Dataset to organise data entry
• Datasets to organise data reporting between units (import/export)

How to build the module

• First do a checkout from the repository

  > svn co svn+ssh://<username>@svn.hisp.info/home/projects/dhis/scm

  If you have a working copy, update our latest revision in trunk/dhis-dataset:

  > svn update

• You need the xwork-optional package, which is used by WebWork in order to communicate with Spring. This package is not in the global Maven 2 repository, so you have to install it manually. Instructions can be found here:
  [DHIS2: xwork-optional]

• You need the Maven Jetty plugin in order to run the Jetty web server with Maven 2. Instructions can be found here:
  [DEP:Jetty Plugin]

• In order to build the module you must first build (mvn install) the scm/branches/dhis-2-krin/ module, and then build /scm/trunk/dhis-2/dhis2-support/dhis-support-webwork in this order.
• To run the dataset module:

  /dhis-dataset> mvn jetty:run-war
