The design document for the project can be found at [1]

The project is currently hosted at a long term VCL image found at [2]

The code for our module is hosted on github at [3]

To Use:

1. Login with user:Admin password:Admin123.
2. Click the 'Administration' button in the top-right corner.
3. In the bottom-right corner, under 'patients' there should be a link for "change patient relationships".

Writing Exercise 2

OpenMRS modules utilize the Spring MVC framework [4]

The 'change patient relationships' module utilizes 5 basic files.

The main page is a .jsp [5] page, the code can be found at [6].

This .jsp page is linked to a spring annotated controller [7], the code can be found at [8]. The annotated controller maps the manage.jsp form actions using the '@RequestMapping' annotations. This pattern can be observed by viewing the manage.jsp code and comparing the <form> tags to the @RequestMapping annotations in teh java code.

The controller along with the spring framework link the form actions from the 'manage.jsp' page to java objects defined in the following .java files. [9] and [10]

The module utilizes OpenMRS's services infrastructure to create services with the following code [11]
