      Report from fermilab

      Hans:

      work in progress on Web Application(currently called simva)
          - connects to the new database:
          - maven project with local dependencies (ValidationLib).
          - debug and extend the Java API (ValidationLib) as we develop
            the web application
          - now connection pool configured and started by glassfish web application
            server:
              * no more db properties exposed.
              * no more maintenance of separate connection pool servlet.
          - plotting uses google chart dashboard with active controls.
            (comment: data format to feed the charts is plain horrible but for now
             don't see an alternative charting tool)

      Julia:

      1. Found Dima's development in GitLab - thanks a lot

      2. Use of CURL library works well to get a Json string via Web service

      ** Tried in a compiled C++ code; plan to try with Root6 in a macro

      3. Have NOT yet tried to use the JsonCpp part, i.e. parsing Json string - need
      to install JsonCpp, will do shortly

      4. Parsing Json string can also be done with boost/property_tree - tried in
      a compiled C++ code
      NOTE: I'm NOT pushing use of boost in Geant4 validation, just making a remark

      5. Working on populating (V)DB with a subset of HARP data (used in test35,
      test19, test23)

      6. Working on populating (V)DB with ITEP-771 data (used in test47)
