Introduction

It is a cross-platform online judge system based on Spring MVC Framework.

The application used following open-source projects:

• Spring MVC famework
• MyBatis persistence framework
• Apache ActiveMQ message queue
• Druid database connection pool
• Flat UI
• jQuery
• FontAwesome
• CodeMirror
• Highlight.js

The Origin of Verwandlung

In 2011, LinkedIn Inc. released a message queue named Kafka. It's implemented in Scala and open-sourced.

In 2012, Alibaba Inc. released a message queue named MetaQ, which is based on Kafka. It's implemented in Java.

MetaQ stands for Metamorphosis, which is a famous literature written by the author Franz Kafka.

As the message queue is one of the important components in the application, so I named the application Verwandlung, which is the German name of Metamorphosis.

Architecture

The application contains two components:

• Web Application
• Judger (Support both Windows and Linux)

The architecture can be described as the figure below.

As you see, Verwandling Online Judge supports multiple judgers. The judgers communicate with the web application through ActiveMQ.

Getting Started

System Requirements

Hardware Requirements

• CPU: 2.0 GHz or faster 32-bit (x86) or 64-bit (x64) processor

For Web Application (including Database and Message Queue):

• RAM: 2.0 GB RAM on Windows, 1.0 GB RAM on Linux.

For Judger:

• RAM: 1.0 GB RAM on Windows, 512 MB RAM on Linux.

Software Requirements

For Web Application (including Database and Message Queue):

• Operating System: Windows, Linux or Mac
• Database: MySQL 5.5+ or MariaDB 5.5+
• Java Runtime: Oracle JRE 1.8+ or Oracle JDK 1.8+
• Message Queue: ActiveMQ 5.11+

Installation

Docker Releases (Recommended)

Now you can easily use Verwandlung Online Judge with Docker.

See the installation instructions here.

Binary Releases

• Web Application: 0.2.0
• Judger (Windows, 64 Bit): 0.2.0
• Judger (Linux, 64 Bit): 0.2.0

Source Releases

NOTE:

• Maven 3+ and GCC 4.8+ with POSIX thread model is required.
• Make sure mvn (Maven), g++ and make are added to the PATH.

After download source code from this repository, run following commands from a terminal:

For Web Application:

cd web
mvn package -DskipTests

If the build is successful, the terminal will display a message as following:

[INFO] ------------------------------------------------------------------------
[INFO] BUILD SUCCESS
[INFO] ------------------------------------------------------------------------
[INFO] Total time: 10.168 s
[INFO] Finished at: 2015-11-26T13:20:09+08:00
[INFO] Final Memory: 24M/210M
[INFO] ------------------------------------------------------------------------

And you'll get a package named voj.web.war in the target folder.

For Judger:

Windows:

cd %JAVA_HOME%\include\win32
copy jawt_md.h  ..
copy jni_md.h  ..

cd judger
mvn package -DskipTests

Linux:

cd $JAVA_HOME/include/linux
cp jawt_md.h jni_md.h ..

cd SOURCE_CODE_PATH/judger
mvn package -DskipTests

If the build is successful, the terminal will display a message as following:

Configuration

Setup the ActiveMQ

To reduce the memory of ActiveMQ, you can edit activemq.xml in ACTIVEMQ_HOME\conf.

Please find following content in this file, and change it to proper values that suitable for your servers.

<systemUsage>
    <systemUsage>
        <memoryUsage>
            <!-- Change this value -->
            <memoryUsage limit="128 mb" />
        </memoryUsage>
        <storeUsage>
            <!-- Change this value -->
            <storeUsage limit="4 gb"/>
        </storeUsage>
        <tempUsage>
            <!-- Change this value -->
            <tempUsage limit="4 gb"/>
        </tempUsage>
    </systemUsage>
</systemUsage>

Setup the Web Application

Create a database in MySQL, import voj.sql.

Edit the values in /WEB-INF/classes/voj.properties of the file voj.web.war.

You can open it with archive manager software such as WinRAR.

After then, you can copy this file voj.web.war to TOMCAT_HOME/webapps.

IMPORTANT: For Windows users, please edit server.xml of your Tomcat configuration:

<Connector connectionTimeout="20000" port="8080" protocol="HTTP/1.1"
    redirectPort="8443" useBodyEncodingForURI="true">
</Connector>

Setup the Judger

Edit the values in /voj.properties of the file voj.judger.jar.

You can run the judger using following command :

Windows:

javaw -jar voj.judger.jar

Linux:

sudo java -jar voj.judger.jar
