I have done some course work in JEE 5 web programming, using the JSF framework. I nicely could combine this with my chemistry stuff and this resulted
in a webbased application which can be used for balancing chemical equations. I now deployed it in Tomcat 6.0.18 on my server at home.

Please browse through the tutorial in order to get started (it appears in a separate window or tab when the help button is clicked on the starting
page).
Have fun!
PS: One important remark: Put charges between parentheses!!!
Cu2+ is not a copper(II) ion, but is a beast, consisting of two copper atoms with a total charge +1, something like (Cu2)+. For a copper(II) ion you
need to use Cu(2+). For some ions this goes well, like NO3-, but these are not the rule. Just to be sure, ALWAYS use parentheses for charges. Ions
like sulfate can be written as SO4(2-) and should NOT be written as SO42-.
