Creating a rotator schedule file

The Ad Rotator generates the HTML to display an advertising banner randomly selected from a rotator schedule file. The rotator schedule file contains information on each of the banners in the banner rotation system. When clicked, an advertising banner should redirect the user to the appropriate URL. For example, if you were running a banner for javadeploy.com on your site, when the user clicked the banner, they would be automatically transferred to https://www.javadeploy.com.
The Ad Rotator does this in an indirect way. Rather than just displaying a banner that is hyperlinked to the appropriate URL, like so: 
<A HREF="https://www.javadeploy.com">
<IMG SRC="/images/banner.gif">
<A>
