Changes since the first version:

all HTML code ported to JSP (Java Server Pages)to allow:

1. parameterization of e-logbook specific values2. one central (XML) conf. file per e-logbook3. access this values via JSTL (Java Server Pages Standard Tag Library) from within every JSP files

Security: Authenti., authori.Security: Authenti., authori.

Stepwise integration of security:

0. No authentication (2002 version)

1. (multiple-) sign on (since 2005)

2. Single sign on (SSO)

3. Cross domain SSO (CDSSO)
