Roll your own secret Santa Web application (IBM developerWorks)

[Posted December 23, 2003 by cook]

Merlin Hughes shows how to build a Secret Santa application on IBM's developerWorks. "For the uninitiated (as I was just a short time ago), a secret Santa is a solution to the excesses of holiday gift-giving in a large family. Instead of each family member giving a gift to every other family member, each person picks a name from a hat and anonymously gives a gift to that one recipient. Each person therefore gives and receives just a single gift. This article presents a J2EE implementation of a secret Santa."
