Proposed design for New code request

allows a user to submit a request for a new validation code
the form presented to the user is one of 3 types: standard, tagging-site specific (for tagging and release sites) or interrogation site specific
the form type is determined based on the code type the user specifies at the beginning
when the user fills out all the data and submits the form, the system gathers all this information, puts it in an email and sends it to a ptagis admin account. Ryan confirms that email handling is desired.

the form fields will be identical to those on the old forms (with the exception of the “send email when a reply is posted for my request” email option, which will be removed, since it is no longer applicable)
the email account to which the submitted information is sent will be specified in the mail.properties configuration file (e.g. mail.newcode.recipient )
validation will need to be done to ensure that none of the fields are left empty. Ryan clarifies that the only fields that should be absolutely required (validated) are Code Type and Proposed Code. All others should be optional.

will be implemented under the ptagis web application
web pages will be placed under web/ptagis/services/newcode
will use struts to be able to handle a potential file upload (in case of interrogation sites)
