The PC² Validator conforms and support Automated Judging using the International Collegiate Programming Contest Validator Interface Standard.

Example Result File Contents

In this example the string1 is the text of a judgement, string2 is a comment about the judgement. PC² matches the judgement text against the judgment text configured in Edit Judgement.

<?xml version="1.0"?>
<result outcome = "string1"> string2 </result>

<?xml version="1.0"?>
<result outcome="accepted"  security="156XRSAM.txt"> MessageString2 </result>

PC² XML security tag

For security reasons, a security tag is added to the XML results file. The result file name, in this case 156XRSAM.txt, is the value for the security tag.

Validator execution example:

java -cp /pc2/v9/lib/pc2.jar edu.csus.ecs.pc2.validator.Validatorsumit.dat estdout.pc2 sumit.ans 156XRSAM.txt  -pc2 1 true

The 156XRSAM.txt file contents:

<?xml version="1.0"?>
<result outcome="accepted"  security="156XRSAM.txt"> MessageString2 </result>

Note that the result file name will change each time the Validator is executed.
