INTRODUCTION
ClassifiedsOnline is being launched because a need for a destination where
the local community could come together and help each other is seen.
Community members within a city can come here to find an apartment to live
in, sell their old car, or music system, promote their small business, find a
life partner, join a salsa class, find people who share their interests, get an
audience for a local event, trade any item that they might want or have to
offer and make new friends while doing all of the above.
PURPOSE
ClassifiedsOnline fulfills the requirements of an individual

related to classifieds (situation vacant / buy n sell / matrimonials … ) and
Yellow Pages. It’s a destination where the local community could come
together and help each other. A person can search for a house on rent
without the involvement of a property dealer and save the extra money
which he/she would have paid as commission. Moreover, the person do all
this in a single click of the mouse button i.e, searching / traversing & posting
advertisements etc. can be done while sitting at home.
What is ClassifiedsOnline all about?
ClassifiedsOnline is a web application that automatically

matches posters of AD’s with potential viewers through a communication
network in which a host system communicates with the Posters and Potential
Viewers. The host system obtains and stores a first set of records each
corresponding to a particular ad. This set of records can then be searched by
a remote data terminal associated with a potential viewer. The results of this
search are then provided to the potential poster, who indicates specific ad
listings that the viewer may be interested in. The viewer provides identifying
information which is then provided to the poster of the indicated ad.
Provisions are made to ensure that the ad posters who list ads support the
system.
Further, the system permits automatic evaluation of potential viewers to
screen posters whose information does not match minimum criteria. It’s a
system for selectively displaying ad listings to potential viewers and for
obtaining ad viewer profile information associated with said potential viewers
which is provided to ad posters of ad described in said ad listings.

C lassified s O nline provides the platform but does not directly

participate in, nor is it involved in any Classifieds transactions. Classifieds
are posted not by my system, but users of my system. My system requires a
user to register before sending a quote. My system will send the information
as filled in by the user on the form to require registration for those who
participate in a variety of its services.
The system has an administrator who keeps an eye on the overall functioning
of the system. The system gets revenue by displaying Banner
Advertisements which is done and controlled by the administrator.
The system entitled “ ClassifiedsOnline (Online classifieds and Yellow

Pages” is application software, which aims at providing services to the local
community and providing them with an option of selecting the AD’s of their
choices and further decide to continue with the transaction. It is developed
by using J2EE technology and related database.

OBJECTIVE
The summary of the objective of this software is to completely automate the

process of:
• Provide better understanding between ad posters and its viewers.
• Provide a user friendly environment so that the ad posters can post their
ads easily and free of cost.
• To maintain and store ad details, response details, ad viewers details, ad

posters details
• Provide excellent and easy to access means of communication medium

between ad posters and its viewers.
• Provide value to its contributors by making available to them its vast

global audience reach
• Provide Classifieds as a service to enable its users to connect with one

another.
• Provide local commerce site, uniquely integrating Classifieds and Yellow

Pages. The system offers unmatched values such as Real Estate, Travels,
jobs/Training, Movies/Entertainment, buy/sale, Matrimonial and more.
The following advertising opportunities are offered:-
• Banner Advertising
• Add Your Logo
• Button Advertising

What contribution would the Project Make?
This is an era of Information Technology where getting information is

the base of each and every thing. Success of any business depends upon its
popularity and goodwill. Today, market has been expanded and you have to
be a global player, today every individual wants to access most of the
information from his own place and then do transaction. The project would
help in effective and systematic access to the Advertisements posted by the
Poster and invalid access by any person will be caught at the time of
registration of the Viewer.

System Development Methodology
System Development Life Cycle
PHASES:
1.2.1 Initiation Phase

The initiation of a system (or project) begins when a business need or
opportunity is identified. A Project Manager should be appointed to manage
the project. This business need is documented in a Concept Proposal. After
the Concept Proposal is approved, the System Concept Development Phase
begins.
1.2.2 System Concept Development Phase
Once a business need is approved, the approaches for accomplishing

the concept are reviewed for feasibility and appropriateness. The Systems
Boundary Document identifies the scope of the system and requires Senior
Official approval and funding before beginning the Planning Phase.
1.2.3 Planning Phase
The concept is further developed to describe how the business will operate
once the approved system is implemented, and to assess how the system will
impact the administrator and user privacy. To ensure the products and /or
services provide the required capability on-time and within budget, project
resources, activities, schedules, tools, and reviews are defined. Additionally,
security certification and accreditation activities begin with the identification
of system security requirements and the completion of a high level
vulnerability assessment.
Page
6
1.2.4 Requirements Analysis Phase
Functional user requirements are formally defined and delineate the

requirements in terms of data, system performance, security, and
maintainability requirements for the system. All requirements are defined to
a level of detail sufficient for systems design to proceed. All requirements
need to be measurable and testable and relate to the business need or
opportunity identified in the Initiation Phase.
1.2.5 Design Phase
The physical characteristics of the system are designed during this phase.
The operating environment is established, major subsystems and their inputs
and outputs are defined, and processes are allocated to resources.
Everything requiring user input or approval must be documented and
reviewed by the user. The physical characteristics of the system are specified
and a detailed design is prepared. Subsystems identified during design are
used to create a detailed structure of the system. Each subsystem is
partitioned into one or more design units or modules. Detailed logic
specifications are prepared for each software module.
1.2.6 Development Phase
The detailed specifications produced during the design phase are translated
into hardware, communications, and executable software. Software shall be
unit tested, integrated, and retested in a systematic manner. Hardware is
assembled and tested.
1.2.7 Integration and Test Phase
The various components of the system are integrated and systematically

tested. The user tests the system to ensure that the functional requirements,
as defined in the functional requirements document, are satisfied by the
developed or modified system. Prior to installing and operating the system in
Page
7
a production environment, the system must undergo certification and

accreditation activities.
1.2.8 Implementation Phase
The system or system modifications are installed and made operational in a

production environment. The phase is initiated after the system has been
tested and accepted by the user. This phase continues until the system is
operating in production in accordance with the defined user requirements.
1.2.9 Operations and Maintenance Phase
The system operation is ongoing. The system is monitored for continued

performance in accordance with user requirements, and needed system
modifications are incorporated. The operational system is periodically
assessed through In-Process Reviews to determine how the system can be
made more efficient and effective. Operations continue as long as the system
can be effectively adapted to respond to an organization’s needs. When
modifications or changes are identified as necessary, the system may reenter
the planning phase.
1.2.10 Disposition Phase
The disposition activities ensure the orderly termination of the system and
preserve the vital information about the system so that some or all of the
information may be reactivated in the future if necessary. Particular
emphasis is given to proper preservation of the data processed by the
system, so that the data is effectively migrated to another system or
archived in accordance with applicable records management regulations and
policies, for potential future access.

SDLC Objectives
This guide was developed to disseminate proven practices to system

developers, project managers, program/account analysts and system
owners/users throughout the DOJ. The specific objectives expected include
the following:
• To reduce the risk of project failure

• To consider system and data requirements throughout the entire life of
the system
• To identify technical and management issues early
• To disclose all life cycle costs to guide business decisions
• To foster realistic expectations of what the systems will and will not
provide
• To provide information to better balance programmatic, technical,
management, and cost aspects of proposed system development or
modification
• To encourage periodic evaluations to identify systems that are no
longer effective
• To measure progress and status for effective corrective action
• To support effective resource management and budget planning
• To consider meeting current and future business requirements
Key Principles
This guidance document refines traditional information system life cycle

management approaches to reflect the principles outlined in the following
subsections. These are the foundations for life cycle management.
Life Cycle Management Should be used to Ensure a Structured

Approach to Information Systems Development, Maintenance, and
Operation
Page
9
This SDLC describes an overall structured approach to information

management. Primary emphasis is placed on the information and systems
decisions to be made and the proper timing of decisions. The manual
provides a flexible framework for approaching a variety of systems projects.
The framework enables system developers, project managers,
program/account analysts, and system owners/users to combine activities,
processes, and products, as appropriate, and to select the tools and
methodologies best suited to the unique needs of each project.
Support the use of an Integrated Product Team
The establishment of an Integrated Product Team (IPT) can aid in the

success of a project. An IPT is a multidisciplinary group of people who
support the Project Manager in the planning, execution, delivery and
implementation of life cycle decisions for the project. The IPT is composed of
qualified empowered individuals from all appropriate functional disciplines
that have a stake in the success of the project. Working together in a
proactive, open communication, team oriented environment can aid in
building a successful project and providing decision makers with the
necessary information to make the right decisions at the right time.
Each System Project must have a Program Sponsor
To help ensure effective planning, management, and commitment to

information systems, each project must have a clearly identified program
sponsor. The program sponsor serves in a leadership role, providing guidance
to the project team and securing, from senior management, the required
reviews and approvals at specific points in the life cycle. An approval from
senior management is required after the completion of the first seven of the
SDLC phases, annually during Operations and Maintenance Phase and six-
months after the Disposition Phase. Senior management approval authority
may be varied based on dollar value, visibility level, congressional interests
or a combination of these.
Page
10
The program sponsor is responsible for identifying who will be

responsible for formally accepting the delivered system at the end of the
Implementation Phase.
A Single Project Manager must be Selected for Each System

Project
The Project Manager has responsibility for the success of the project
and works through a project team and other supporting organization
structures, such as working groups or user groups, to accomplish the
objectives of the project. Regardless of organizational affiliation, the Project
Manager is accountable and responsible for ensuring that project activities
and decisions consider the needs of all organizations that will be affected by
the system. The Project Manager develops a project charter to define and
clearly identify the lines of authority between and within the agency’s
executive management, program sponsor, (user/customer), and developer
for purposes of management and oversight.
A Comprehensive Project Management Plan is Required for Each

System Project
The project management plan is a pivotal element in the successful

solution of an information management requirement. The project
management plan must describe how each life cycle phase will be
accomplished to suit the specific characteristics of the project. The project
management plan is a vehicle for documenting the project scope, tasks,
schedule, allocated resources, and interrelationships with other projects. The
plan is used to provide direction to the many activities of the life cycle and
must be refined and expanded throughout the life cycle.
Page
11
Specific Individuals Must be Assigned to Perform Key Roles

Throughout the Life Cycle
Certain roles are considered vital to a successful system project and at

least one individual must be designated as responsible for each key role.
Assignments may be made on a full- or part-time basis as appropriate. Key
roles include program/functional management, quality assurance, security,
telecommunications management, data administration, database
administration, logistics, financial, systems engineering, test and evaluation,
contracts management, and configuration management. For most projects,
more than one individual should represent the actual or potential users of the
system (that is, program staff) and should be designated by the Program
Manager of the program and organization
SYSTEM STUDY AND

PROBLEM FORMULATION

REQUIREMENTS ANALYSYS
SYSTEM STUDY AND PROBLEM FORMULATION
THE EXISTING SYSTEM

The existing system i.e, classifieds and yellow pages system works by
manually supplying information regarding an Advertisement to be placed in
the media (say Newspapers, magazines etc.)which must be checked
thoroughly before given for final print.. The existing system has got lot of
intricacies within itself and need lot of human effort and paper works. All
above the data need to be maintained properly and maintaining this is a
tedious and risky process as a small printing error may completely change
the sense of the Advertisement. Moreover to view a data or to keep a record
of a particular Advertisement may need lot of paper to be searched.
Some of the negative aspects of the existing system are as follows:

1) Course of action is time consuming. Wherever a need for search
arises, the process evolves search through paper records.
2) Readability of records is constrained. All the records may not be
handled or written by the same person. So the format and style of
records differ and hence it is difficult to understand.
3) Paper records are easily damaged in course of time. The life time of
paper record is unreliable less that it easily gets spoiled.
4) Expenditure is high. Manual system needs added man power.
5) It is difficult for the user to categorize and do the comparative study
of the AD’s on the basis of just reading about it on a piece of Paper.
To overcome these, the proposed system has been suggested.
Page
13
THE PROPOSED SYSTEM
The proposed system is a computerized one. This has greater

accuracy and efficiency. This takes only limited time for retrieval of desired
result from the user.
The proposed system can be used to maintain efficiently the
postings and retrieval of any type of Advertisement posted by a Poster. The
proposed system is also useful and helpful in checking out different
Advertisements by a Viewer so that he/she can easily categorize and select
the appropriate AD for him/herself depending on the requirement and his/her
choice. He/she can also create his/her mail account using my system. Since
my system is allowing Banner Advertisements to obtain revenue out of it, a
user can post his/her company’s or firm’s Advertisement using my system.
The system includes two users:
1) Administrator
Poster ( post AD’s )
2) General User
Viewer ( view AD’s )
The user gets into the system using user name and a unique
password. Each user has his own accessibility permission to accomplish his
task flawlessly. The administrator also has a ID and password to get access
to the system so that no unauthorized person is able to keep an eye on the
working of the complete system.
Advantages of the proposed system are

1) Easy access to the data
2) The new system is more user friendly, reliable and flexible.
3) Pop-up menus to carry out transactions for a new user, and
for other alert messages.
4) Timely Report generation.

Requirement Analysis
At the heart of system analysis is a detailed understanding of all
important facets of business area under investigation. (For this reason, the
process of acquiring this is often termed the detailed investigation) Analyst,
working closely with the employees and managers, must study the business
process to answer these key questions:
 What is being done?

 How is it being done?
 How frequent does it occur?
 How great is the volume of transaction or decisions?
 How well is the task being performed?
 Does a problem exist?
 If a problem exist, how serious is it?
 If a problem exists, what is the underlying cause?
Requirement analysis relies on fact-finding techniques. These include:
 Interview
 Questionnaires
 Record inspection
 On-site observation
Page

IDENTIFICATION OF NEED
In the world we are growing for globalization day by day with the
development in IT resources and advancement, by using latest technologies
it is possible to access any information of any type while sitting at home.
Survival on manual system is difficult that is why computerized systems are
more in demand. The modules should be complete database driven and
interactive that should provide the proper information regarding the online
classifieds and yellow pages system.
Success of any system depends up to a large extent on how

accurately a problem is defined, thoroughly investigated and properly
carried out to the choice of solution. Analysis is the only phase in which
the requirements for the new system are identified. System analysis is a
detailed study of the various operations performed by a system and their
relationship within and outside of the system. The question is: what must
be done to solve the problem? One aspect of analysis is defining the
boundaries of the system and determining whether or not a user system
should consider other related system. During analysis data are collected
on the available files, decision points and transactions handled by the
parent system. Data flow diagram, interviews, onsite observations,
questionnaires are used as a logical system model and tools to perform
the analysis.
An analyst is responsible for performing following tasks:
 Gathered all facts about the present system from the

employees.
 Studied strength and weakness of the current system.
 Determined “what” must be done to solve the problem.
 Prepared a functional specifications document.
Page
16
In order to reduce the time, there is a need for computerized system that
can retrieve data, insert data, update existing data or delete existing data.
These modules are developed wit the aim of reducing time, reducing
manpower, reducing cost so that the records can be easily maintained.
The volume of work and complexity are increasing year by year. This
system reduces complexity and workload.
PRELIMINARY INVESTIGATION
A request to take assistance from information system can be made for

many reasons, but in each case someone in the organization initiate the
request. When the request is made, the first system activity the
preliminary investigation begins. This activity has three parts:
 Request clarification
 Feasible Study
 Request approval
Many requests from employees and users in the organization are not
clearly defined. Therefore, it becomes necessary that project request must
be examined and clarified properly before considering systems
investigation.
The feasibility study is carried out by a small group of people who are
familiar with information system techniques, understand the parts of the
business or organization that will be involved or affected by the project, and
are skilled in the system analysis and design process.
• Request Approval:
It is not necessary that all request projects are desirable or feasible. Some
organizations receive so many projects request from employees that only a
Page
17
few of them can be purchased. However, those projects that are feasible and
desirable should be put into a schedule.
In some cases, development can start immediately, although usually
system staff members are busy on other ongoing projects. When such
situation arises, management decides which projects are more urgent and
schedule them accordingly. After a project request is approved, its cost,
priority, completion time and personal requirements are estimated and used
to determine whether to add it to any existing project list. Later on, when the
other projects have been completed, the proposed application development
can be initiated.
Analysis is a process of studying a problem and to find the best
solution to that problem. System analysis gives us the target for the design
and the implementation. Analysis is one phase, which is important phase for
system development life cycle. System development is a problem solving
techniques. Analysis involves interviewing the client and the user. Three
people and the existing documents about the current mode of operation are
the basic source of information for the analyst.

SOFTWARE ENGINEERING PARADIGM
Computer Aided Software Engineering can be as simple as a single tool that

support a specific software engineering activity or as complex as a complete
“environment “ that encompasses tools, a database, people, hardware, a
network, operating system, standards, and myriad other components. Each
building block forms a foundation for the next, with tools sitting as the top of
the heap. It is interesting to note that the foundation for effective CASE
environment has relatively little to do for software engineering tools
themselves. Rather, successful environments appropriate hardware and
systems software. In addition, the environment architecture must consider
the human work patterns that are applied during the software engineering
process.
The environment composed of the hardware platform and system support

(including networking software, software management, and object
management services), the groundwork for CASE. But the CASE environment
itself demands other building blocks. A set of portability services provides a
bridge between CASE tools and their integration framework and the
environment architecture. The integration framework is a collection of
specialized programs that enables individual’s CASE tools to communicate
one another, to create a project database, and to exhibit the same look and
feel to the end user (the software engineer). Portability services allow CASE
tools and their integration framework to migrate across different hardware
platforms and operating system with out significant adaptive maintenance.
The building blocks represent a comprehensive foundation for the integration

of CASE tools. However, most CASE tools in use today have been:
constructed using all these building blocks.
In fact some CASE tools remain “point solution:” That is, a tool is used to
assist in a particular software engineering activity (e.g. analysis modeling)
Page
19
but does not directly communicate with other tools, is not tied into a project
database, is not part of an integrated CASE environment (l-CASE). Although
this situation is not ideal, a CASE tool can be used quite effectively, even if it
is a point solution.
At the low end of the integration spectrum is the individual (point solution)
tool. When individual tools can provide tools provide facilities for data
exchange, the integration level is improved slightly. Such tools produce
output in a standard format that should be compatible with other tools that
can read the format. In some cases, the builder of complementary CASE
tools work together to form a bridge between the tools (e.g. an analysis and
design tool that is coupled with a code generator). Using this approach, the
team develops, synergy between the tools separately. Single source
integration occurs when a single CASE tools vendor integrates a number of
different tools and sells them as a package.
Although this approach is quite effective, the closed architecture of most

single source environments precludes easy addition from other vendors.
Feasibility Study
Page
20
A feasibility study is conducted to select the best system that meets

performance requirement. This entails an identification description, an
evaluation of candidate system and the selection of best system for he job.
The system required performance is defined by a statement of constraints,
the identification of specific system objective and a description of outputs.
The key consideration in feasibility analysis are :
1. Economic Feasibility :
2. Technical Feasibility :
3. Operational Feasibility:
Economical feasibility
It looks at the financial aspects of the project. It determines

whether the management has enough resources and budget to invest in the
proposed system and the estimated time for the recovery of cost incurred. It
also determines whether it is worth while to invest the money in the
proposed project. Economic feasibility is determines by the means of cost
benefit analysis.The proposed system is economically feasible because the
cost involved in purchasing the hardware and the software are within
approachable. The personal cost like salaries of employees hired are also
nominal, because working in this system need not required a highly qualified
professional. The operating-environment costs are marginal. The less time
involved also helped in its economical feasibility. It was observed that the
organization has already using computers for other purpose, so that there is
no additional cost to be incurred for adding this system to its computers.
The backend required for storing other details is also the same
database that is Sql. The computers in the organization are highly
Page
21
sophisticated and don’t needs extra components to load the software. Hence
the organization can implement the new system without any additional
expenditure. Hence, it is economically feasible.

It is a measure of the practically of a specific technical solution and the

availability of technical resources and expertise
• The proposed system uses Java as front-end and Oracle 8.0 as

back-end tool.
• Oracle is a popular tool used to design and develop database
objects such as table views, indexes.
• The above tools are readily available, easy to work with and widely
used for developing commercial application.
Hardware used in this project are- p4 processor 2.4GHz, 128

MB RAM, 40 GB hard disk, floppy drive. These hardware were already
available on the existing computer system. The software like Oracle 8i,
Weblogic Server, Thin Driver, JDK, JSDK, J2EE and operating system
WINDOWS-XP’ used were already installed On the existing computer
system. So no additional hardware and software were required to purchase
and it is technically feasible. The technical feasibility is in employing
computers to the organization. The organization is equipped with enough
computers so that it is easier for updating. Hence the organization has not
technical difficulty in adding this system.
Tools Used :
1) J2EE Library

PROJECT CATEGORY AND

TOOL SELECTION
Page
26
C lassified s O nline (online classified & yellow pages) is being made

as web-application.
Project can be categorized in two ways:-
• Local Area Network projects.
• Distributed Projects.
Local Area Network projects are those projects where application has
to be incorporated in the Local area network of the client i.e within its
premises only. In case of LAN, server is not remotely located and client
accesses the application through the network. Here the question of platform
independence does not arise and we can use the technologies like: Visual
Basic, Fox pro, D2k or C, C++, etc.
Distributed projects are those projects where application is remotely

situated. In these kinds of projects, application is remotely situated on to the
remote server from where client machine accesses the application. WAN and
Internet is a kind of distributed application where client machine connects to
the remote server and application is downloaded on to the client machine.
Here the question of platform independence arises and we use technologies
like Java Servlet, Java Server Pages, Java Beans, RMI, etc.

PLATFORM (Technology/Tool Selection)
Introduction to Java
Java is a high-level, third-generation programming language like C,

FORTRAN, Perl and many others. It is a platform for distributed computing –
a development and run-time environment that contains built-in support for
the World Wide Web.
History of Java
Java development began at Sun Microsystems in 1991, the same year
the World Wide Web was conceived. Java’s creator, James Gosling did not
design java for the Internet. His Objective was to create a common
development environment for consumer electronic devices which was easily
portable from one device to another. This effort evolved into a language,
code named Oak and later renamed Java that retains much of the syntax and
power of c++, but is simpler and more platform-independent.
Java Features
Some of the important features of Java are as follows:
• Simplicity
• Orientation
• Platform Independence
• Security
• High Performance
• Multi Threading
• Dynamic linking.
• Garbage Collection.
Page
29
One of the most important features of Java is platform independence,

which makes it famous and suitable language for World Wide Web.
Why Java is Platform Independent?
Java is Platform Independent because of Java Virtual Machine (JVM).
Java Virtual Machine (JVM)
The client application or operating system must have a java byte-code

interpreter to execute byte-code instructions. The interpreter is a part of a
larger program called the JVM. The JVM interprets the byte code into native
code and is available on platforms that support Java.
When the user runs a Java program, it is up to the
JVM to load, possibly verify, and then execute it. The JVM can perform this
function from within a browser or any other container program or directly on
top of the operating system.
When a browser invokes the JVM to run a Java program, the JVM does
a number of things:
• It validates the requested byte-code, verifying that they pass

various formatting and security checks.
• It allocates memory for the incoming java class files and
guarantees that the security of JVM is not violated. This is known as the
class loader module.
• It interprets the byte code instructions found in the class files to
execute the program.

Connectivity using JDBC
There are four kinds of drivers available in Jdbc: -
• Jdbc-Odbc Bridge Driver

• Partly Java Driver
• Native Driver
• Pure Java Driver
Jdbc-Odbc Driver:
This provides a bridge between the Jdbc APIs and the Odbc APIs. The
bridge translates the standard JDBC calls to corresponding ODBC calls, and
sends them to the ODBC data source via ODBC libraries. This configuration
requires every client that will run the application to have the JDBC-ODBC
bridge API, the ODBC driver and the native language-level APIs. As a result
this kind of driver is most appropriate on a corporate network where client
installations are not a major problem.
Partly Java Driver:
Jdbc database calls are translated into vendor-specific API calls. The
database will process the request & send the result back through the API,
which in turn forwards them back to the Jdbc drivers. The Jdbc driver
translates the result to the Jdbc standard & returns them to the Java
Page
31
application, hence this kind of driver has same problem that was with Jdbc-
Odbc driver and is mostly used in Intranet.
These are true 100% pure java real JDBC drivers. All the mechanism
of the client access is coded completely in java. There are no calls out off or
into the virtual machine and native code and there is no need for some costly
server in the middle. Type 4 drivers are different for different RDBMS and are
available for almost all major RDBMS vendors.
Pure Java Driver:
This is a platform independent driver as this kind of driver remains on

server. This kind of driver is provided by third party vendor. This middle-
ware server is able to connect its java clients to many different databases.
These are really non-drivers. They are front end for database access
servers and connectors. For ex: The proxy driver talks to the middle tier
concentrator or access server. The concentrator or access server in turn uses
ODBC (or) vendor specific protocol to talk to the actual database. The
requirement for collaborating middle tier server is often cumbersome and
very expensive too.
Native Driver:
This kind of driver converts JDBC calls into the network protocol used by
Database directly. This allows a direct call from client machine to the
Database server.
These are true 100% pure java real JDBC drivers. All the
mechanism of the client access is coded completely in java. There are no
Page
32
calls out off or into the virtual machine and native code and there is no need
for some costly server in the middle. Type 4 drivers are different for different
RDBMS and are available for almost all major RDBMS vendors.
Client Side Interface:
In client side interface we are using:-
• Servlet / JSP – for Internet Based Application.
Servlet / JSP are middle-ware technologies which are used in web based
projects because they use:-
• HTTP Protocol to handle Request and Response.

• They are invoked through Browser.
• They give output in HTML format.
• They need Browser Support.
ABOUT J2EE
Introduction to J2EE:
The multi-tier architecture such as COBRA

has got its own advantages in terms of scalability, performance and
reliability.
In a multi-tier architecture, a client does not

interact directly with the server. Instead, it first contacts another layer called
Middleware. The middleware instantiates the server applications and
Page
33
messages the server object. It returns results to the clients. The presence of
a middleware layer allows programmers to concentrate on business logic of
application. The middleware handles low-lever services, such as thread
handling, security, and transactions management.
Sun Microsystems introduced the J2EE
application server and the enterprise Java Bean (EJB) specifications as a
venture into the multi-tier component architecture. J2EE functions as a
middle tier server in three tier architectures.
It provides certain specifications that can be

used to implement enterprise solutions for certain all types of business
requirements. J2EE also offers cost effective solution for business solution.
J2EE is used for developing, deploying and

executing applications in a distributed environment. The J2EE applications
server acts as a platform for implementing various server side technologies
Servlets, Java Server Pages (JSP) and Enterprise Java Bean (EJB). J2EE
allows you to focus on your business logic program. The business logic is
coded in java program, which are reusable component that can be accessed
client program EJB runs on J2EE server.
In J2EE security is handled almost entirely by platform and its admin.

The developer does not have to worry about writing the security logic.
• J2EE Architecture:
The J2EE SDK architecture consists of the following components:
• The J2EE server
• The EJB Container
• The Web Container
Page
34
The J2EE server provides the EJB and web containers. The J2EE
server enforces authenticating users. The either service provided by the
J2EE server are listed here below.
• It allows client to interact with Enterprise Bean.

• It enables a web browser to access servlets and JSP files
• It provides naming and directory services to enable users
and various services to locate and search for services and
components.
The EJB container manages the execution of Enterprise Bean for J2EE
server. EJB is a specification for making server side component that enable
and simplifies the task of creating distributed objects. EJB component provide
services such as transaction and security management and can be
customized during deployment.
The web container manages the executing of JSP and servlets for J2EE
applications web components and their container run on the J2EE server.
Servlets of the java program that can be deployed on a java enable web
server to enhances and extend the functionality of the web server for
example you can write a servlets to add a manager service to a website.
Servlet can also be used to add dynamic content to web pages. Java
Server Page (JSP) adds server side programming functionality to java. JSP
consists of regular Html tags representing the static content and code
enclosed within special tags representing the dynamic content. After
compilation, a JSP generates a servlets and therefore incorporates all the
servlets functionalities.
Page
35
• J2EE Application:
J2EE applications are complex access data from a variety of source and cater
to a variety of client. To manage these applications the business function
conducted in the middle tier. The J2EE platform acts as a middle tier and
provides the necessary environment needed by the application. The J2EE
platform provides” write once, run anywhere”, portability and scalability for
multi-tier application. It also minimizes complexity for building multi-tier
application.
To create a J2EE application we need to create following three components:
(1) J2EE application client

(2) Enterprise Bean
(3) Web component
Each of these components is packaged into a file with a specified file format.
A J2EE application client is a Java application that run in a environment that
enable it to access to the J2EE services. A J2EE application client is packaged
into a .jar (Java archive) file. The web components are packaged into a .war
(Web archive) file.
An Enterprise Bean consists of three files: the EJB class, Home and Remote
Interfaces. The Enterprise Beans are bundled into an EJB.jar file. The .jar,
.war and EJB.jar are assembled into a J2EE application, which is an .ear file.
The .ear file is then deployed to the J2EE server.
Page
36
The race for market share in the database industry has increased with the
advent of client-server platforms. Oracle is one of the most successful
companies that has released a number of development tools including SQL
*PLUS, PL/SQL that enables faster and easier application development and
its management.
Oracle is the robust Database System, it support very large database.

Moreover Oracle is widely used as back end for client / server applications.
Administrative tools of Oracle help in securing the Data / Information.

• J2EE Technologies:
The J2EE includes many technologies such as:
• Enterprise Java Beans (EJB)

• Remote Method Invocation (RMI)
• Java Naming and Directory Interface (JNDI)
• Java Database Connectivity (JDBC)
• Java Transaction API (JTA)
• Java Transaction Services (JTS)
• Java Messaging Services (JMS)
• Java Servlet & Java Server Pages (JSP)
• Extensible Markup Language (XML)
 EJB:
Enterprise Java Beans (EJB) is “write once, run anywhere” middle tier
component consisting of method that implements the business rule.
Enterprise Bean encapsulates the business logic. There are two types of
Enterprise Bean: Entity Bean and Session Bean.
 RMI:
Remote Method Invocation is defined for the communication of remote

objects in the middle tier of the distribute application. It enables a Java
object to communicate remotely with other Java object.
Page
38
 JNDI:
Java Naming and Directory Interface is an extension to Java platform and

provide multiple Naming and Directory services. A Naming services provide a
mechanism for locating distributed object. A Directory services organize the
distributed object and other resources such as file in hierarchical structure.
Directory services allow resources to be linked virtually so as located in to
directory services hierarchy. There are different types of Directory services.
JNDI allows the different types of Directory services to be link. Thus client
can use any type of directory services.
 JDBC:
Java Database Connectivity provides a Database programming API for Java

program. A JDBC API contains a set of classes and Interfaces that are used
to connect a database build using any DBMS or RDBMS. It also submit SQL
query to a database and retrieve its and processes the result of SQL query.
 JTA & JTS:
Java Transaction API (JTA) and Java Transaction Service (JTS) are
transaction API. One can use these API to democrat whether the transaction
starts or ends.
 JMS:
Java Messaging Service is an API that J2EE platform include to send mail via
Internet.
Page
39
 Servlet:
Servlets are used to develop a variety of web-based application. They make

use of the extensive power of the Java API such as networking and URL
access, multithreading, database connectivity, internationalization, RMI and
object serialization. Java Server Pages (JSP) adds server side programming
functionality to Java. Both Servlet and JSP allow the creation of database
driven web application and have server side programming capability.
 XML:
J2EE uses Extensible Markup Language as a Markup language to describe the

contents. The described file created when deploying the J2EE application is
an XML file.
• J2EE SDK TOOLS:
J2EE SDK includes following tools:
1. The Deployment Tool.

2. The J2EE Server.
3. The Cloud Scale Server.
4. The Clean-up Script.
5. The Packager Tool.
6. The Realm Tool.
7. The Run Client Script.
8. The Verifier Tool.
Page
40
 The J2EE Security:
The architecture of the J2EE is such that it enforces security in

the application. In order to access the J2EE services, a user need to prove
his/her identity. Such users are called J2EE users and process is called
authentication. The J2EE authentication services are different from security
of the operating system. The users of the operating system and the users
of the J2EE belong to a different realm. A realm is a group of users that
have the same authentication policy. The users of J2EE belong to a two
different realms that are respectively authentication by certificates and
defaults. J2EE certificate to authenticate a web browser client. In most
cases, the J2EE services use the default realm to authenticate a user. J2EE
users may also belong to a group. A group is a collection of users who
have common feature for eg. The user belonging to a group may all
belonging to a group coding same module. Similarly project managers
might belong to a different group.
When J2EE application client execute its request that you enter
login id and password. If the combination of both username and password
correct the J2EE allow you to access the services.The J2EE server also
enforces security by process known as authentication. Authorization is a
process by which the permissions are assigned by server to invoke the
method of Enterprise Bean.
JAVA BEANS
The java beans specification allows software components to be written

in java, which encapsulate the logic behind the web application and remove
the bulk of the code that would otherwise clutter up JSP’s. The result is JSP
code that is simpler, easier to maintain and which is more readily accessible
to non-programmers.
Page
41
A bean uses properties to describe internal data that affects how it

works and what it shows. In java the actual bean property data is usually a
private or protected field, which can be edited by publicly available methods.
In other words beans allow access to internal data via public get and set
methods. This confirms to object orientation norms, which hide internal data
from users and explore it only through accessor methods. Another aspect of
this component is that it should be able to communicate with other objects or
beans. Java beans accomplish this by firing events and listening to them. A
bean that is interested in what happens to an object external to itself can
register itself as a listener for various events in that object. Conversely an
external object can register itself to listen to that bean. This concept is really
the key to providing standalone software components.
BOUND PROPERTIES:
One way of exporting events is to use bound properties. When a

property value changes a bound property can inform other parts of the
application that its value is changed.
BEAN EVENTS:
The property change support class should cater for most of the
needs. However on many occasions beans will still need to communicate
even though no property change activity has occurred.
BEAN PERSISTANCE AND STORAGE:
For a component to be really useful it must be possible to save

it and any values it may contain and reload it to the same state at a later
date. No matter how wonderful the component we create it will not be used
Page
42
much if it has to reset every time it is retrieved. Java beans use the
serializable interface to address these issues.
The serializable interface has no methods to implement. It is simply

on indicator to the compiler that object may be made persistence by
serialization. In practice serialization generally means saving the bean to a
file using the object output stream classes. Then to restore the bean to read
from the same file using object input stream. To make java bean to be
serializable we need to do is add the serializable interface in the class
declaration.
JDBC
There are many classifications of databases available as Hierarchical

database, Network database, Relational database, Object databases and
soon. Due their flexibility Relational database management systems are most
successful bread of databases in the history of computing. Ex: - Oracle,
IBMdb2, and Microsoft SQL Server.
A technology that enables JSP base applications to interact directly
with database engines is called Java Database Connectivity and is an integral
part of Java platform. JDBC/JSP based web application access the database
connections. These connections must be managed carefully by the
application especially if a large number of concurrent users may be accessing
them. To make this performance optimization JDBC uses a mechanism called
connection pooling. The evaluation of this open database access technology
has led to a mirade of driver architecture.

RDBMS
Server
Here the browser using the web application is not required to support
java at all. The JSP has full control over how many JDBC connections are
made to the server. The client never makes direct JDBC connection to the
server. This solution can work readily through a firewall, only standard HTTP
is used between the web server and the client.
Page
44
As a bonus this solution sends itself to easily secured information

simply by adding secured socket layer support to the web server. Because of
this separation of the presentation from the business logic, which is
separated from the database logic, this sort of system is often called three
tiers of the system. Although the application server and database server can
also running on the same server machine.
There is still one minor problem with this scenario. Project personal
accessing the JSP page containing the embedded JDBC code can easily and
inadvertently modify the database access code and this may result in an
erroneous application or even corrupted database. There are 2 solutions for
this:
1. Create java beans or java classes that encapsulate all the JDBC
operations. This is significantly better solution. But instantiation,
initialization and parameterization of the java class or the beans can
still represent a significant amount of embedded java code with in the
JSP.
2. Create a tag extension set to ‘pushdown’ all the database access logic.
The data access logic programmers write the set of custom tags. The
JSP application logic designers will then use the set of custom tag to
create their application.

BACK-END
ORACLE 8i
Why we are using Oracle (RDBMS)?
Some of the merits of using Oracle (RDBMS) are as under:
• Centralization of database.
• Client Server Technology.
• Security.
• Normalization of Data Base.
• Relationship.
• Transaction Processor.
• It gives some internet related features.
Hence because of these features we are using Oracle as a back-end

technology.
Wether you are working on LAN projects or Distributed projects, there are
two sides of it:-
• Front End
• Back End
Front End remains on client side. Front end is made for end user who uses
our application. Basically in front end, our input-output forms reside which
takes the input from the client and gives output back to client.
Page
47
Backend remains on server side and has two components viz.
• Server side programs

• Data Base
Database is the most important thing in this universe as database gives

identity to a thing. It provides us with a repository where we can store ample
amount of data, at one place. Without a database, existence of a thing is
impossible.
While working on a project first step is to design a database.
What is a database?
Data Base is a collection of tables and table is a collection of records in

a tabular form i.e. in row and columns format.
Data Base can be divided into two parts:-
• RDBMS
• DBMS
We will be using RDBMS (Relational Database Management System) in

our project i.e. oracle 8.0 Enterprise Edition.
ABOUT ORACLE 8.0
Oracle 8.0 contains all the features of previous version. It also

supports some new features & enhancement to some existing features.
Oracle servers provide deficient & effective solution for the major features.
Page
48
• Large Database & Space Management Control
Oracle supports the largest database potential of hundreds of Giga

Bytes in size. To make efficient use of expensive devices, it allows full control
of space usage.
• Many Concurrent Database Performances
It supports large no of concurrent users executing a variety of

database applications operation on the same data. It minimizes data
connection & guarantees data concurrency.
• High Transaction Processing Performance
Oracle maintains the processing features with a high degree of overall

system performance. Database users don’t suffer from slow processing
performance.
• High Availability
Oracle works 24 hours a day with no downtime or limited database

throughput. Normal system operation such as database backup & partial
system failure doesn’t interrupt database use.
• Controlled Availbility
Oracle can selectively control the availability of data at the database

level & sub database level. E.g. an administrator can disallow use of a
specific application .Data can be reloaded without affecting other application.
Page
49
• Industry Accepted Standards
Oracle adheres to industry accepted standards for the data access

language operating system, user interface & network communication
protocols.
• Manageable Security
To protect against unauthorized database aspects & users, Oracle

provides failsafe security features to limit & monitor the data area. The
system makes it easy to manage even the most completed designs for data
assets.
• Database Enforced Integrity
Oracle enforces data integrity “Business rules”, that dictate the

standards for applicable data. As a result, the cost of coding & managing
checks in many database applications is eliminated.
• Distributed Database System
For community environment that are connected via networks, Oracle

combines the data physically located on different computers in one logical
database that can be accessed by all the network users. Distributed systems
have same degree of user transparency & data consistency as non-
distributed systems, yet receive the advantages of local database
management.
• Portability
Page
50
Oracle software is compatible to work under different operating system

& same on all system. Applications developed on Oracle can be used on
virtually any system with little or no more modification.
• Compatibility
Oracle software is compatible with industry standards, including most

industry standard operating systems. Applications developed on Oracle can
be used on virtually any system with little or no modification.
• Connectivity
Oracle software allows different types of computers & operating

system to share information in networks.
NEW FEATURES OF ORACLE 8.0
• Improved Scalability
The maximum size of an Oracle database has been increased to

support hundreds of terabytes depending on the operating system on which
it resides.
• Improved Security
Oracle 8.0 server now includes password management so that a

password has a limited lifetime & must meet certain complexity such as
minimum length. An account can be locked after a specified number of failed
login attempts.
• Improved Performance via Partition

Page
51
A table of index can be divided into smaller pieces called partitions,

based on the value of one or more columns. A table partitions can be
individually managed so that operation in one partition does not affect the
availability of data on other partitions. Also insert, update, delete operations
against a partitioned table can be processed partially.
In other words, the Oracle 8 server can assign a portion of the work to
execute a single DML statement to multiple processes, which may then be
allocated to multiple processes by the server operating system. As a result,
the parallel DML operations are completed more quickly.
• Enhanced Support for Database Replication
The performance & manageability of database replication has been

significantly improved.
• Capability to handle a much larger number of

concurrent users
By pooling database connection, the Oracle 8 server is able to service

a much larger number of concurrent users, up to 3000, depending on the
server’s operating system & server hardware resources.
• New & Improved Data Types
Some existing data types have been enhanced & new data types have
been introduced.
• Improved Select Statement
Page
52
A new feature of the select statement allows a sub query to be used in

place of a table in a from clause.
Now when we are discussing Database, there is one more thing

attached to it, i.e. “Data Base Models”
Database Models
There are three kinds of database models:-
• Single tier architecture.

• Two tier architecture.
• N- Tier architecture.
Single tier Architecture:
In this kind of architecture, database and client application remains on

one machine i.e. there is no client-server technology, there is no
centralization of database, and basically it is a stand alone system.
Two tier Architecture
In this kind of architecture, database and client application is on two

different machines i.e. Database on one machine and the application on
another machine. In this type of architecture, the implementation of client-
server technology is done and centralization of data base is there, but it has
two demerits:-
• Security is not there

• Multiple Client access is not there.
N- Tier Architecture: - In this kind of architecture, there is a middle-ware

in between the client and database. Middle ware checks the validity of the
Page
53
client i.e. weather the client can access the database or not. Hence there is
security in it as well as middle-ware allows multiple clients access.
What is Middle-Ware?
Middle-ware is a concept. Middle-ware provides centralization of

business logic i.e. instead of putting logic on each and every client machine
we put logic on a centralized server. Hence middle ware is nothing but a
server side program where all your business logic and business methods
reside. It remains on server side and it has all the logical building. Middle
ware provides: -
• Multiple Client access.

• Centralized business logic in case of distributed application.
Because we are working on Distributed Application Based Project we need

platform independent Language like Java
Page
54
SOFTWARE
REQUIREMENT
SPECIFICATION
Page
55
SOFTWARE REQUIREMENT SPECIFICATION
Software requirement specification (SRS) is the starting point of the

software development activity. Little importance was given to this phase in
the early days of software development. The emphasis was first on coding
and then shifted to design.
As systems grew more complex, it became evident that the goals of

the entire system cannot be easily comprehended. Hence the need for the
requirement analysis phase arose. Now, for large software systems,
requirements analysis is perhaps the most difficult activity and also the most
error prone.
Some of the difficulty is due to the scope of this phase. The software
project is initiated by the client’s needs. In the beginning these needs are in
the minds of various people in the client organization. The requirement
analyst has to identify the requirements by talking to these people and
understanding their needs. In situations where the software is to automate a
currently manual process, most of the needs can be understood by observing
the current practice.
The SRS is a means of translating the ideas in the minds of the clients
(the input), into formal document (the output of the requirements phase).
Thus, the output of the phase is a set of formally specified requirements,
which hopefully are complete and consistent, while the input has none of
these properties.

Data flow diagrams

DATA FLOW DIAGRAM
Data Flow Diagramming is a means of representing a system at any

level of detail with a graphic network of symbols showing data flows, data
stores, data processes, and data sources/destination.
The data flow diagram is analogous to a road map. It is a network

model of all possibilities with different detail shown on different hierarchical
levels. This processes of representing different details level is called
“leveling” or “partitioning” by some data flow diagram advocates. Like a road
map, there is no starting point or stop point, no time or timing, or steps to
get somewhere. We just know that the data path must exist because at some
point it will be needed. A road map shows all existing or planned roads
because the road is needed.
Details that is not shown on the different levels of the data flow
diagram such as volumes, timing, frequency, etc. is shown on supplementary
diagrams or in the data dictionary. For example, data store contents may be
shown in the data dictionary.
Data Flow Diagram (DFD) uses a number of symbols to represent

the systems. Data Flow Diagram also known as ‘Bubble Chart’ is used to
clarify system requirements and identifying the major transformations that
will become programs in system design. So it is the starting point of the
design phase that functionally decomposes the requirements specifications
down to the level of details.
Page
58
Terms used in DFD
• Process
A process transforms data values. The lowest level processes are pure
functions without side effects. An entire data flow graphics high level
process.
Graphical representation:
Graphical Representation:
• Data flows
A data flow connects the output of an object or process to input of

another object or process. It represents the intermediate data value within a
computation. It is represented by an arrow and labeled with a description of
data, usually its name or type.
• Actors
An actor is active object that drives the data flow graph by producing
or consuming values.
Page
59
• Data store
A data store is a passive object with in a data flow diagram that stores
data for later access.
• External Entity
A rectangle represents an external entity such as a librarian ,a

library member.
• OutPut Symbol
This box represented data production during human computer

interaction

POSTER’S SECTION PROCESSES
• Login Process:
In this process, the user ID and password

entered by the user are validated and once it is
done, the user will get entry into this zone.
If the Poster is new, he/she can register
him/herself with the system by following simple
steps.
• Post AD Process:
In this process, the Poster can post his/her

Advertisements in the system by filling up the
information about the AD. (for instance,
selecting the AD category say, buy n sell,
events, matrimonial etc from the list)
• Edit AD’s Process:
In this process, the poster may edit or modify

the contents of his/her Advertisement.
He/she may also delete the AD posted by him
once the purpose of posting it is sought.
• View Response Process:
In this process, the poster can check whether

the Advertisement posted by him/her has got
any responses and if yes he/she may consider
the best deal among the responses obtained or
wait for a better one.
VIEWER’S SECTION PROCESSES
Page
75
• Search AD’s Process:
In this process, the Viewer may search for

Advertisements as categorized by the system.
Also, the viewer may send response to one or

more AD's viewed by him/her.
• View AD’s Process:
In this process, the Viewer can view the

different Advertisements posted by the poster
as categorized by the system.
Also, the viewer may view one or more AD's

posted by different posters.
• Send Response Process:
In this process, the Viewer may send response

to one or more Advertisements as categorized
by the system. These Advertisements may be
posted by the same or different posters.
Also, the viewer may send response to one or

more AD's viewed by him/her.
ADMINISTRATOR’S SECTION PROCESSES
• Maintain Category Process:
Page
76
In this process, the Administrator who has the

responsibility to keep an eye on the working of
the complete system maintains a category list
for Advertisements such as ‘buy n sell’,
‘matrimonials’, ‘Events’ etc.
The administrator has the right to modify the

category list according to changing needs of the
AD Posters & Viewers.
• View Registered Users Process:
In this process, the Administrator can view the

details of the users who have registered
him/herself with the system.
This will help the administrator to keep a track

of the users of the system and thus help to
assess the popularity of the system.
• Send Notification Process:
In this process, the Administrator can send

notification to different users of the system
about the various activities of the system.
• Show Banner AD’s Process:
In this process, the Administrator can display

Banner Advertisements as specified by the
Advertisers. This will obtain revenue for the
system.
• Maintain Advertiser’s Details Process:
In this process, the Administrator will maintain

the details of the Banner Advertisers such as
their ID’s, names, AD_ID, Duration of AD etc.
This maintenance will help in timely collection of

revenue and renewal of AD’s.

SYSTEM TESTING
Here the System testing involved is the most widely used testing
process consisting of five stages as shown in the figure. In general, the
sequence of testing activities is component testing, integration testing, and
then user testing. However, as defects are discovered at any one stage, they
require program modifications to correct them and this may require other
stages in the testing process to be repeated.

Testing is the process of detecting errors. Testing performs a very

critical role for quality assurance and for ensuring the reliability of the
software. The results of testing are used later on during maintenance also.
Testing is vital to the success of the system. System testing makes a logical
assumption that if the parts of the system are correct, the goal will be
successfully achieved. In adequate testing or non-testing leads to errors that
may not appear until months or even years later (Remember the New York
three day power failure due to a misplaced ‘Break’ statement).
This creates two problems:

1. The time lag between the cause and the appearance of the problem.
2. The time interval effect of the system errors on files and the records
on the system.
A small error can conceivably explode into a much larger problem. Effective
testing early in the process translates directly into long term cost savings
from a reduced number of errors.
Another reason for system testing is it’s utility as a user oriented vehicle
before implementation. The best program is worthless if it does not meet the
user requirements. Unfortunately, the user’s demands are often
compromised by efforts to facilitate program or design efficiency in terms of
processing time or design efficiency.
Thus in this phase we went to test the code we wrote. We needed to know if
the code compiled with the design or not? Whether the code gave the desired
outputs on given inputs? Whether it was ready to be installed on the user’s
computer or some more modifications were needed?
Page
85
Through the web applications are characteristically different from there

software counterparts but the basic approach for testing these web
applications is quite similar. These basic steps of testing have been picked
from software engineering practices. The following are the steps, we
undertook:
1. The content of the Intranet site is reviewed to uncover Content

Errors. Content Errors covers the typographical errors, grammatical
errors, errors in content consistency, graphical representation and cross
referencing errors
2. The design model of the web application is reviewed to uncover the

navigation errors. Use cases, derived as a part of the analysis activity
allows a web designer to exercise each usage scenario against the
architectural and navigational design. In essence these non-executable
tests help to uncover the errors in navigation.
3. When web applications are considered the concept of unit changes.

Each web page encapsulate content navigation links, content and
processing elements(Forms, Scripts, JSP’s as in our case). It is not
always possible to test each of these individually. Thus is the base of
the web applications the unit to be considered is the web page. Unlike
the testing of the algorithmic details of a module the data that flows
across the module interface, page level testing for web applications is
driven by content, processing and links encapsulating the web page.
4. The Assembled web application is tested for overall functionality and

content delivery. the various user cases are used that test the system
for errors and mistakes.
5. The Web application is tested for a variety of environmental settings

and is tested for various configurations and upon various platforms.
Page
86
The modules are integrated and integration test are conducted.
6. Thread based testing is done to monitor the regression tests so that

the site does not become very slow is a lot of users are simultaneously
logged on.
7. A controlled and monitored population of end users tests Intranet

application , this all comprises of the User Acceptance Testing .
Because web application evolve continuously , the testing process

is an ongoing activity, conducted by web support staff in our case the
Organization’s IS people who will finally update and manage the
application.
PSYCHOLOGY OF TESTING
The aim of testing is often to demonstrate that a program works by

showing that it has no errors. The basic purpose of testing phase is to detect
the errors that may be present in the program. Hence one should not start
testing with the intent of showing that a program works, but the intent
should be to show that a program doesn’t work. Testing is the process of
executing a program with the intent of finding errors.
TESTING OBJECTIVES:
The main objective of testing is to uncover a host of errors,

systematically and with minimum effort and time. Stating formally, we can
say,
Page
87
• Testing is a process of executing a program with the intent of

finding an error.
• A successful test is one that uncovers an as yet undiscovered error.
• A good test case is one that has a high probability of finding error,
if it exists.
• The tests are inadequate to detect possibly present errors.
• The software more or less confirms to the quality and reliable
standards.
LEVELS OF TESTING
In order to uncover the errors present in different phases, we have

the concept of levels of testing. The basic levels of testing are
Client Needs
Acceptance Testing
Requirements
System Testing
Design
Integration Testing
Code
Unit Testing
Page
88
Unit testing
Unit testing focuses verification effort on the smallest unit of software

i.e. the module. Using the detailed design and the process specifications,
testing is done to uncover errors within the boundary of the module. All
modules must be successful in the unit test before the start of the integration
testing begins.
In this project each service can be thought of a module. There are so
many modules like Login, HR Department, Interviewer Section, etc. Each
module has been tested by giving different sets of inputs. When developing
the module as well as finishing the development, the module works without
any error. The inputs are validated when accepting them from the user.
Integration Testing
After unit testing, we have to perform integration testing. The goal

here is to see if modules can be integrated properly, the emphasis being on
testing interfaces between modules. This testing activity can be considered
as testing the design and hence the emphasis on testing module interactions.
In this project the main system is formed by integrating all the

modules. When integrating all the modules I have checked whether the
integration effects working of any of the services by giving different
combinations of inputs with which the two services run perfectly before
Integration.
SYSTEM TESTING
Page
89
Here the entire software system is tested. The reference document for
this process is the requirements document, and the goal is to see if software
meets its requirements.
Here entire ‘HRRP’ has been tested against requirements of project
and it is checked whether all requirements of project have been satisfied or
not.
ACCEPTANCE TESTING
Acceptance Testing is performed with realistic data of the client to

demonstrate that the software is working satisfactorily. Testing here is
focused on external behavior of the system; the internal logic of program is
not emphasized.
Test cases should be selected so that the largest number of attributes

of an equivalence class is exercised at once. The testing phase is an
important part of software development. It is the process of finding errors
and missing operations and also a complete verification to determine whether
the objectives are met and the user requirements are satisfied.
WHITE BOX TESTING
This is a unit testing method, where a unit will be taken at a time and
tested thoroughly at a statement level to find the maximum possible errors.
I tested step wise every piece of code, taking care that every
statement in the code is executed at least once. The white box testing is also
called Glass Box Testing.
I have generated a list of test cases, sample data, which is used to

check all possible combinations of execution paths through the code at every
module level.
Page
90
White-box test focuses on the program control structure. Test cases are
derived to ensure that all statement in the program control structure. Test cases
are derived to ensure that all statement in the program control structure. Test
cases are derived to ensure that all statement in the program has been executed
at least once during testing and that all logical conditions have been exercised.
Basis path testing, a white box technique, makes use of program graphs (or
graph matrices) to derive the set of linearly independent test that will ensure
coverage. Condition and data flow testing further exercising degrees of
complexity.
BLACK BOX TESTING

This testing method considers a module as a single unit and checks the
unit at interface and communication with other modules rather getting into
details at statement level. Here the module will be treated as a block that will
take some input and generate output. Output for a given set of input
combinations are forwarded to other modules.
Black-box test are designed to uncover errors functional requirement
without regard to the internal workings of a program. Black-box testing
techniques focus on the information domain of the software, deriving test
cases by partitioning the input and output domain of a program in manner
that provides through test coverage. The black-box test is used to
demonstrate that software functions are operational, that input is properly
produced, and that the integrity of external information are maintained. A
black-box test examines some fundamental aspect of a system with little or
no regard for the integral logical structure of the software.
Graph based testing methods explore the relationship between and

behavior of program objects. Equivalence partitioning divides the input
Page
91
classes of data are likely to exercise specific software function. Boundary

values analysis probes the program’s ability to handle data at the limits of
acceptability.
TEST INFORMATION FLOW
A strategy for software testing may also be viewed in the context of the
spiral. Unit testing begins at the vortex of the spiral and, concentrates on
each unit, component of the software as implemented in source code. Testing
progresses moving outward along the spiral to integration testing, where the
focus is on designed the construction of the software architecture. Taking
another turn outward on spiral, we encounter validation testing, where
requirements established as part of software requirements analysis are
validated against the software that has been constructed. Finally, we arrive
at system testing, where the software and other system elements are tested
as a whole. To test computer software, we spiral out along stream lines that
broaden the scope of testing with each turn.
Considering the process from a procedural point of view, testing within

the context of software engineering is actually a series of four steps that are
implemented sequentially. The steps are shown in Figure. Initially, tests
focus on each component individually, ensuring that it functions properly as
unit. Hence, the name unit testing. Unit testing makes heavy use of white-
box testing techniques, exercising specific paths in module’s control structure
to ensure complete coverage and maximum error detection.

SYSTEM SECURITY
Introduction
One might think that there is a little reason to be concerned about security in
an intranet. After all, by definition an intranet is internal to ones’
organization; outsider can not access it. There are strong arguments for the
position that an intranet should be completely open to its users, with little or
no security. One might not have considered ones’ intranet on any other light.
On the other hand, implementing some simple, built-in security measures in
ones’ intranet can allow one to provide resources one might not have
considered possible in such context. For example, one can give access to
some Web Pages to some people without them available to oner entire
customer base, with several kinds of authentication.
Intranet security is, then, a multifaceted issue, with both opportunities

and dangers, especially if ones’ network is part of the Intranet.
There are basically two types of security associated with this system:
1. Physical security:-
Damage due to natural causes like earth tremor, flooding, water logging,
fire hazards, atmospheric or environmental conditions etc..For
overcoming these difficulties the replica of the data are automatically
stored at various networks and for environmental conditions Air
conditioning environment is created.
Page
104
2. Data security:-
There are basically two problems associated with data security:-

a). Data not being available to the authorized person at the time of need.
b). Data becoming available to the unauthorized person.
To overcome these difficulties the following access facilities has been

provided:-
i) Identification:-
Unique Ids for the different users have been provided.
ii) Authentication:-
System checks the password under the particular user identification.
The computer permits the various resource to the authorized person.
iii) Authorisation:-
The access control mechanism to prevent unauthorized logging to the
system.
Need for Security
Many people view computer and network security in a negative light, thinking
of it only in terms of restricting access to services. One major view of
network security is “that which is not expressly permitted is denied.”
Although this is a good way of thinking about how to connect other
organization to the internet, one can, and possibly should, view intranet
security from a more positive angle. Property set up, intranet security can be
an enabler, enriching ones’ intranet with services and resources one would
Page
105
not otherwise be able to provide. Such an overall security policy might be

described as “that which is not expressly denied is permitted.”
This does not mean that one should throw caution to the wind and
make everything available to ones’ users on ones’ intranet. There are many
things to consider when placing sensitive business data out on ones’ intranet.
It may fall into the wrong hands, or worse, be used against ones’ business.
For example, some of ones’ users might have information they would li9ke to
make available, provided access to it can be limited to a specified group-for
example, confidential management or financial information. Without the
ability to ensure that only those who have the right to see such information
will have access, the custodians of data will not be willing to put it on ones’
intranet. Providing security increases ones’ organization’s ability to use the
important collaborative aspects of an intranet.
The more defensive approach, preventing abuse of ones’ intranet, is

also given play, however. Organizations’ needs for security in an intranet can
vary widely. Businesses in which confidentiality and discretion are the norm
in handling proprietary information and corporate intellectual property have
different needs than a college or university, for example. Academic
institutions generally tilt toward making the free exchange of ideas a primary
interest. At the same time, though the curiosity (to use a polite word) of
undergraduates requires strong needs for security. Keeping prying
sophomores out of university administration computing resources is a high
priority; for example, students have been known to try to access grade
records(their own or those of others) for various reasons.
Security Features of an Intranet:-
Before going into a great deal of detail about how one can use security to
enhance ones’ intranet, take a high- level look at what security features are
available to ones. These break down into three main categories.
Page
106
First, one can take steps on ones’ Web server to set up

security. Second, one can take steps with the other TCP/IP network
services one has set up on ones’ intranet to enhance their security.
Third, one can secure customers’ Web browsers themselves to limit
what they can do with them.
a) Web server Security
There is a wide range of very flexible security features one can implement on
ones’ Web server. Here’s a summary:
• Access to Web servers, individual Web pages, and entire directories

containing Web pages can be set to require a username and password.
• Access to Web servers, individual Web pages, and entire directories
containing Web pages can be limited to customers on specific
computer systems. (In other words, access will be denied unless the
user is at his or her usual computer or workstation.)
• One can organize individuals into groups and grant access to individual
Web servers, Web pages, and entire directories containing Web pages
based on group membership.
• One can organize computers into groups, and grant access to
individual Web servers, Web pages, and entire directories containing
Web pages based on group membership.
It’s ones’ responsibility to determine the level of security one need on ones’
intranet, and, of course, to implement it. Putting most of the security
measures mentioned into place is not difficult. Ones’ primary concern will be
explaining to customers how intranet security works, not so much as a
limiting factor but as an opportunity for increased use and collaboration using
Page
107
ones’ intranet. Assuring decision-makers that they can make information

available on ones’ intranet in a secure fashion can go a long way toward
making ones’ intranet a success. At the same time, it’s important to make
sure both information providers and their customers understand a number of
critical aspects of intranet security, so they don’t inadvertently defeat the
purpose of it.
There are network security commonplaces, unrelated to intranet security

specifically, that need ones’ attention. All the security precautions in the
world can’t protect ones’ intranet from overall poor security practices. Users
making poor choices on passwords always lead the list of computer and
network security risks. One can limit access to a sensitive Web resources
based on the TCP/IP network address of boss’s pc, but if the boss walks away
and leaves his pc unattended without an active screen lock, anyone who
walks into the empty office can access the protected resources.
b) An Important Warning About Hostname/ IP Address

Authentication
All of the Web server software described in this chapter trustingly

accepts the word of a requesting computer when it sends its IP address.
Verification of this information is not possible. It’s relatively easy for a user
to change the hostname/IP address of a UNIX system, and laughably easy to
change that of a pc or Mac. A curious, mischievous, or malicious person
can reconfigure his computer to impersonate someone else’s simply by
changing the IP address of his own. Although this is an overall network
security issue, not specifically one for ones’ intranet, it’s important one Know
about it because it can affect the security of ones’ access controlled
documents. Security-minded network administrators can use special
hardware and software to prevent this sort of IP spoofing, but for ones’
intranet, one’ll probably want to combine hostname/IP address
Page
108
authentication with username/password authentication, as outlined in the

following section.
c) Secure/ Encrypted Transactions
One can further enhanced security on ones’ intranet by encrypting Web

transactions. When one use an encryption facility, information submitted by
customers using Web fill-in forms-including usernames, passwords, and other
confidential information-can be transmitted securely to and from the Web
server.
d) Intranet and the Internet
Is ones’ intranet is accessible from the internet? If so, all of the security
problems of the Internet are now ones’ intranet’s problems, too. One can,
however, connect safely to the Internet and still protect ones’ intranet. One
can even use the Internet as a means of letting remotes sites in ones’
company access ones’ intranet.
e) Firewalls
It’s a fact of Internet life there are people out there who want to break into
other people’s networks via the Internet. Reasons vary from innocent
curiosity to malicious cracking to business and international espionage. At
the same time, the value of Internet to organizations and businesses is as
great that vendors are rushing to fill the need for Internet security with
Internet firewalls. An Internet firewall is a device that sits between ones’
internal network and outside Internet. Its purpose is to limit access into and
out of ones’ network based on ones’ organization’s access policy.
Page
109
A firewall can be anything from a set of filtering rules set up on the

router between one and the Internet to an elaborate application gateway
consisting of one or more specially configured computers that control access.
Firewalls permit desired services coming from the outside, such as Internet
e-mail, to pass. In addition, most firewalls now allow access to the World
Wide Web from inside the protected networks. The idea is to allow some
services to pass but to deny others. For example, one might be able to use
the Telnet utility to log into systems on the Internet, but users on remote
systems cannot use to log into ones’ local system because of the firewall.
Summary
Security is important not so much because it prevents things, but because it

enables them. Judicious use of built-in security features of the Web server
and other intranet resources can add value to ones’ intranet by making new
things possible.

QUALITY ASSURANCE
INTRODUCTION
The key factor to the success in software quality program is its

implementation. While definition of process can be evolving phenomenon,
implementation of processes makes the difference between success & failure.
A quality product can be defined as:
• One that is fit for use.
• One that is produced as per the predefined standards.
So, Software Quality Assurance is the process of ensuring that the
product confirms to its standards.
QUALITY MANAGEMENT SYSTEM
A Quality Management System (QMS) is instituted by an organization

to manage & maintain quality procedures in its day-to-day functioning. It is a
conglomerate of people who have the required authority, responsibility and
procedures for performing various activities. The QMS of an organization is
guided by quality policy & quality procedures supported by various
documents-Forms/Formats to maintain records & work instructions to provide
guidelines for doing a particular piece of work.

IMPLEMENTATION
Introduction
System implementation is the stage when the user has thoroughly

tested the system and approves all the features provided by the system. The
various tests are performed and the system is approved only after all the
requirements are met and the user is satisfied.
The new system may be totally new, replacing an existing

manual or automated system, or it may be a major modification to an
existing system. In either case, proper implementation is essential to provide
a reliable system to meet organizational requirements. Successful
implementation may not guarantee improvement in the organization using
the new system (that is a design question), but improper will prevent it.
Implementation is the process of having systems personnel check

out and put new equipment into use, train users, install the new application
and construct any files of data needed to use it. This phase is less creative
than system design. Depending on the size of the organization that will be
involved in using the application and the risk involved in its use, systems
developers may choose to test the operation in only one area of the firm with
only one or two persons. Sometimes, they will run both old and new system
in parallel way to com-pare the results. In still other situations, system
developers stop using the old system one day and start using the new one
the next.
The implementation of the web based or lan based networked project

has some extra steps at the time of implementation. We need to configure
the system according the requirement of the software.
Page
114
For the project we need to install and configure Weblogic server 8.1 ,
database server, and the deployment directory for the project.
Aspects of Implementation
The two aspects of implementation are:
• Training Personnel
• Conversion Procedures
TRAINING
Even well designed and technically elegant systems can succeed or

fail because of the way they are used. Therefore the quality of the training
received by the personnel involved with the system in various ways helps
or hinders, and may even prevent, the successful implementation of an
information system.
Since, Human Resource Recruitment Process is web-based and user

friendly, not much effort was required in training process.
CONVERSION:
Conversion is the process of changing from the old system to the

new system. There are two methods of handling systems conversion:
• Parallel Run
• Immediate cut-off
Page
115
Parallel Run
In this approach, the old system and the new system are used
simultaneously for some period of time so that the performance of the new
system can be monitored and compared with that of the old system. Also
in case of failure of the new system, the user can fall back on the old
system. The risk of this approach is that the user may never want to shift
to new system.
9.2.2.1 Immediate cut-off
In this method, the use of the old system ceases

as soon as the new system is implemented and bought in to palace. The
old system becomes redundant from the day of implementation of the new
system. There is the high risk involved in this approach if the new system
is not tested rigorously. This is because of the fact that if the new system
fails, then there will not be anything to fall back upon. The advantage of
this approach is that both the systems need not be used simultaneously.
Implementation Tools
The project was implemented using Java server pages,HTML,Java beans.The
implementation work was carried out in Windows XP/2000 server platform.
1) J2EE
2) Weblogic 8.1

3) Oracle 8i
Coding
This means program construction with procedural specifications has finished

and the coding for the program begins:
• Once the design phase was over,coding commenced
• Coding is natural consequence of design.
• Coding step translate a detailed design representation of software

into a programming languae realization.
• Main emphasis while coding was on style so that the end result was
an optimized code.
The following points were kept into cosideration while coding:
Coding Style
The structured programming method was used in all the modules the
project.It incorporated the following features
• The code has been written so that the definition and implementation
of each function is contained in one file.
Page
117
• A group of related function was clubbed together in one file to

include it when needed and save us from the labour of writing it
again and again.
Naming Convention:-
• As the project size grows,so does the com[plexity of recognizing the

purpose of the variables.Thus the variables were given meaningful
names,whihch would hellp in understanding the context and the
purposse of the variable.
• The function names are also given meaningful names that can be
easily understood by the user.
Indentation
Judicious use of indentation can make the task of reading and understanding
a program much simpler.Indentation is an essential part of a goog
program.If code id intended without thought itv will seriously affect the
readability of the program.
• The higher-level statements like he definition of the

variables,constants and the function are intended,with each nested
block intended,stating their purpose in the code.
• Blank line is also left between each function definition to make the
code look neat.
Page
118
• Indentation for each source file stating he purpose of the file is also
done.
MAINTENANCE
Page
119
MAINTENANCE
Maintenance or enhancement can be classified as: -
• Corrective
• Adaptive
• Perfective.
Corrective maintenance means repairing processing or

performance failures or making changes because of previously uncorrected
problems or false assumptions.
Adaptive maintenance means changing the program function.
Perfective maintenance means enhancing the performance or

modifying the program(s) to respond to the user’s additional or changing
needs.
Maintenance is actually the implementation of the post

implementation review plan.
Page
120
As important as it is, many programmers and analysts are reluctant

to perform or identify themselves with the maintenance effort. There are
psychological, personality and professional reasons for this. In any case, a
first class effort must be made to ensure that software changes are made
properly and in time to keep the system in tune with user specifications.
Maintenance is costly. One way to reduce maintenance costs is

through maintenance management and software modification audits.
Software modification consists of program rewrites system level updates,
and re-audits of low ranking programs to verify and correct the soft spots.
The outcome should be more reliable software, a reduced

maintenance backlog, and higher satisfaction and morale among the
maintenance staff.
In HRRP, care has been taken towards maintenance; Loop

Holes can be eradicated from the system from time to time according to
changing requirements with lesser cost.

122
EVALUATION
The evaluation phase ranks vendor proposals and determines the one best
suited, Evaluation of the system is performed to identify its strengths and
weaknesses. The actual evaluation can occur along any of the following
dimensions:
 Operational Evaluation: Assessment of the manner in which the

system functions, including case of use, response time, overall
reliability and level of utilization.
 Organizational Impact: Identification and measurement of benefits to

the organization in such areas as financial concerns, operational
efficiency and competitive impact.
 User Manager Assessment Evaluation of the attitudes of senior and

user manager within the organization, as well as end-users.
 Development Performance: Evaluation of the development process in

accordance with such yardsticks as overall development time and
effort, conformance to budgets and standards and other project
management criteria.

CONCLUSIONS
As evidence of the success of this mission, there are millions of items

listed each day in thousands of different categories. There are items for
almost any interest that one could imagine, from sheet music to automobiles
to hand tools to real estate. And the variety doesn’t stop there. Need a
computer? One may find it listed in the proper category, in any configuration
from very old and obsolete to the latest greatest machine available. What
about antiques? One can find an antique quilt that is up for highest bid, or
maybe an old violin, whose beautiful tones have enchanted many though its
years. Tickets. Maybe a ticket to the next concert of ones favorite artist or
play production. One can even find that special bottle of wine, some aged,
exotic cheese, and the perfect ‘mood’ music for that special occasion.
In this instance it may be true that on eBay, they have something for
everybody, whatever their tastes may be.
Scope for Future Work
Since this system has been generated by using Object Oriented

programming, there are many chances of reusability of the codes in other
environment even in different platforms. Also its present features can be
enhanced by some simple modification in the codes so as to reuse it in the
changing scenario.
The site is made in all possible way to meet the user requirements
using latest version of available software and hardware.But as user
requirements and operating environment keep changing further extensions
can be made on this.In future some more schemas can be added in the “HR
Recruitment Process” hence these schemas are to be included in the
software developed.
Page
125
Limitations
Since, every system has some limitations so our proposed system is

also not untouchable in this regard. Although it includes every kind of
features, but it can’t be used in a huge organization where number of
networks are very large, because the database used in this system is an
average one. Also it doesn’t have different kind of access feature for different
users.
Though it was planned for this system to be absolutely perfect but

everything as such has some limitations, so does the System. Following may
be the drawback in this system.
• T
hough this system is developed as a multi user system
but it is not a real time system.
• T
he interaction with the database, every time they are
loaded thus the system tends to be a bit slow.
Page
126
FUTURE SCOPE
 Providing the SMS alerts facility to users to remove the

dependency on email account (web).
 Providing the social media site to express, review and share in

the form of Blogs, Photos, Videos, discussions in multiple
explosively popular areas of interest such as Movies, Travel ,
events and much more.
 Nurturing the dream of providing Email account facility to users so

they can feel the independence of mail account at the same site.
The idea of having a Mail account has been dealt in the system but
Many more functionalities can be added to it.
DEPENDENCIES
 It doesn’t matter how efficiently the application works, if the

bandwidth is not sufficient the transaction will take more time
then expected.
 Oracle and Oracle JDBC-ODBC drivers for connectivity.
 JavaWebserver is required for the application.
 Although this software is architecturally independent but following

hardware resources are required. For i.e. any IBM compatible PC or
any other workstation with mouse support and relevant software.

Backend remains on server side and has two components i.e.

1. Server side program
2. Data Base.
Data base is the most important thing in this universe as data base gives
identity to a thing without data base existence of a thing is impossible while
working on a project first step is to design a database.
What is data base ?
Data Base is a collection of tables and table is a collectionof records in a

tabular form i.e. in row and columns.
Data Base can be divided into two parts :-
1. RDBMS.
2. DBMS.
We will be using RDBMS (Relational Database Management System) in our

project i.e. oracle 8i Enterprise edition.
Page
131
Why we are using Oracle (RDBMS)?
Some of the merits of using Oracle (RDBMS) is as under :-
• Centralization of database.
• Client Server Technology.
• Security.
• Normalization of Data Base.
• Relationship.
• Transaction Processor.
• It gives some internet related features.
Hence because of these features we are using Oracle as a back

end technology.
ABOUT ORACLE 8i
Oracle 8i contains all the features of previous version. It also supports

some new features & enhancement to some existing features. Oracle servers
provides deficient & effective solution for the major features.

What is Middle Ware?
Middle Ware is a concept, Middle Ware provides centralization of business logic

i.e. instead of putting logic on each and every client machine we put logic on a
centralized server hence middle ware is nothing but a server side program where
all your business logic and business methods reside. It remains on server side
and it has all the logical building. Middle ware provides:-

1) Multiple Client access.

2) Centralized business logic in case of

platform independent Language:-
Technology Used
Introduction to Java
Java is a high level, third-generation programming language, like C, Fortran,

Perl and many others. It is a platform for distributed computing – a
development and run-time environment that cointains built-in support for the
World Wide Web.
History of Java
Java development began at Sun Microsystems in 1991, the same year the
World Wide Web was conceived. Java’s creator, James Gosling did not design
java for the Internet. His Objective was to create a common development
environment for consumer electronic devices which was easily portable from
one device to another.
This effort evolved into a language , code named Oak and later
renamed Java that retains much of the syntax and power of c++ , but is
simpler and more platform independent.
Java Features
Some of the important features of Java are as follows:
• Simplicity
• Orientation
• Platform Independence
Page
135
• Security
• High Performance
• Multi Threading
• Dynamic linking.
• Garbage Collection.
One of the most important features of Java is Platform Independence which

makes it famous and suitable language for World Wide Web.
Why java is Platform Independent?
Java is Platform Independent because of Java Virtual Machine (JVM).
Java Virtual Machine (JVM)
The client application or operating system must have a java byte-code

interpreter to execute byte-code instructions. The interpreter is a part of a
lager program called the JVM. The JVM interprets the byte code into native
code and is available on a platform that supports java.
Connectivity using JDBC
There are four kind of drivers available in Jdbc:-
1. JdbcOdbc Bridge Driver.

2. Partly Java Driver.
3. Pure Java Driver.
4. Native Driver.
Client Side Interface:
Page
136
In client side interface we are using:-
Servlet / JSP – In Internet Based Application.
J2EE Framework and Architecture
J2EE is one of the best solutions that we have had so far for meeting the
demand of today’s enterprise. J2EE specifies both the infrastructure for
managing our applications, and the service APIs for building our applications.
The J2EE platform is essentially a distributed application-server environment-

a java environment that provides the following: -
• A set of java extension APIs to build applications. These APIs define a

programming model for J2EE applications.
* A run time infrastructure for hosting and managing applications. This is

the server runtime in which our applications resides.
The applications that we could develop with the above may be programs to
drive web pages, or components to implement complex database
transactions, or even java applets, all distributed across the network.
The J2EE Runtime
While J2EE bundles together APIs that have been in existence in one form or
another for quite sometime, perhaps its most significant aspect is the
abstraction of the runtime infrastructure. The J2EE specification doesn’t
specify how a J2EE runtime should or could be built. Instead, J2EE specify
roles and interfaces for applications, and the runtime onto which applications
could be deployed. This results in a clear demarcation between applications
and the runtime infrastructure. This demarcation allow the runtime to
abstract most of the infrastructure services that enterprise developers have
traditionally attempt to build on their own. As a result, J2EE application
Page
137
developers could just focus on the application logic and related service, while
leveraging the runtime for all infrastructure-related services.
Apart from specifying a set of standard APIs, the J2EE architecture also
provides a uniform means of accessing platform-level services via its runtime
environment. Such service includes distributed transactions, security,
messaging etc.
The J2EE APIs Used
Distributed applications require access to a set of enterprise services. Typical

services include transaction processing, database access, messaging,
multithreading etc. The J2EE architecture unifies access to such services in
its enterprise service APIs. However, instead of having to access these
service through proprietary or non standard interfaces, application programs
in J2EE can access these APIs via the container.
There are various API specification in J2EE framework which enable us to
create an application at great speed with minimum effort.
APIs Used To Build the Software
1. JDBC API
The JDBC API provides developers with a way to connect to relational data
from within java code. Using the JDBC API, developers can create a client
(which can be anything from an applet to an EJB) that can connect to a
database, execute structured query language statements, and processes the
result of those statements. The API provides connectivity and data access
across the range of relational databases. It can do this because it provides a
set of generic database access methods for sql compliant relational
Page
138
databases. JDBC generalizes the most common database access functions by

abstracting the vendor specific detail of particular database. The result is set
of classes and interface, placed in the java.sql package, which can be used
with any database that has an appropriate JDBC drive. This allow JDBC
connectivity to be provided in a consistent way for any database. It also
means that with a little care to ensure the application confirms to the most
commonly available database features, an application can be use with a
different database simple by switching to a different JDBC driver. JDBC
includes following packages for the means of database accessing and
provides various features of the database. The packages are as follows: -
 java.sql Package: -
This package contains classes and interfaces designed with traditional

client/server in mind. Its functionality is focused primarily on basic database
programming services such as creating connections, executing statements
and prepared statements, and running batch queries. Advanced functions
such as batch updates, scrollable result sets, transaction isolation, and sql
data types are also available.
 javax.sql Package: -
This package introduces sum major architectural change to JDBC

programming compared to java.sql package, and provides better abstractions
for connections management, distributed transactions, and legacy
connectivity. This package also introduces container-managed connection
pooling, distributed transactions, and row sets.
2. Java Servlets: -
Servlets are Java technology’s answer to Common Gateway Interface (CGI)
Page
139
programming. They are programs that run on a Web server, acting as middle
layer between a request coming from a Web browser or other HTTP client
and databases or applications on the HTTP server. Their job is to:
Read any data sent by the user.
This data is usually entered in a form on a Web page, but could also come
from a Java applet or a custom HTTP client program.
Look up any other information about the request that is

embedded in the HTTP request.
This information includes details about browser capabilities, cookies, the host
name of the requesting client, and so forth.
Generate the results.
This process may require talking to a database, executing an RMI or CORBA

call, invoking a legacy application, or computing the response directly.
Format the results inside a document.

In most cases, this involves embedding the information inside an HTML page.
Set the appropriate HTTP response parameters.

This means telling the browser what type of document is being returned
(e.g., HTML), setting cookies and caching parameters, and other such tasks.
Page
140
Send the document back to the client.

This document may be sent in text format (HTML), binary format (GIF
images), or even in a compressed format like gzip that is layered on top of
some other underlying format. Many client requests can be satisfied by
returning pre-built documents, and these requests would be handled by the
server without invoking servlets. In many cases, however, a static result is
not sufficient, and a page needs to be generated for each request.
Java Server Pages: -
Java Server Pages (JSP) technology enables you to mix regular, static HTML
with dynamically generated content from servlets. Many Web pages that are
built by CGI programs are primarily static, with the parts that change limited
to a few small locations. For example, the initial page at most on-line stores
is the same for all visitors, except for a small welcome message giving the
visitor’s name if it is known. But most CGI variations, including servlets,
make you generate the entire page via your program, even though most of it
is always the same. JSP lets you create the two parts separately. Listing 1.1
gives an example.
Most of the page consists of regular HTML, which is passed to the visitor
unchanged. Parts that are generated dynamically are marked with special
HTML-like tags and mixed right into the page.
The Advantages of JSP

JSP has a number of advantages over many of its alternatives. Here are a
few of them.
Versus Active Server Pages (ASP)
ASP is a competing technology from Microsoft. The advantages of JSP are

twofold. First, the dynamic part is written in Java, not VBScript or another
ASP-specific language, so it is more powerful and better suited to complex
Page
141
applications that require reusable components. Second, JSP is portable to

other operating systems and Web servers; you aren’t locked into Windows
NT/2000 and IIS. You could make the same argument when comparing JSP
to ColdFusion; with JSP you can use Java and are not tied to a particular
server product.
Versus Pure Servlets

JSP doesn’t provide any capabilities that couldn’t in principle be accomplished
with a servlet. In fact, JSP documents are automatically translated into
servlets behind the scenes. But it is more convenient to write (and to
modify!) regular HTML than to have a zillion println statements that generate
the HTML. Plus, by separating the presentation from the content, you can put
different people on different tasks: your Web page design experts can build
the HTML using familiar tools and leave places for your servlet programmers
to insert the dynamic content.
Versus Server-Side Includes (SSI)
SSI is a widely supported technology for inserting externally

defined pieces into a static Web page. JSP is better because you have a
richer set of tools for building that external piece and have more options
regarding the stage of the HTTP response at which the piece actually gets
inserted. Besides, SSI is really intended only for simple inclusions, not for
“real” programs that use form data, make database connections, and the
like.
Versus Static HTML

Regular HTML, of course, cannot contain dynamic information, so static
HTML pages cannot be based upon user input or server-side data sources.
JSP is so easy and convenient that it is quite reasonable to augment HTML
pages that only benefit slightly by the insertion of dynamic data. Previously,
the difficulty of using dynamic data precluded its use in all but the most
valuable instances.

What is HTML?
HTML(Hyper Text Markup Language): A markup language used to structure

text and multimedi documents and to set up hypertext links between
documents, used extensively on the World Wide Web. HTML is a display
language , not a programming lanfguage. HTML is a markup language(the ML
in HTML) that uses a fixed set of markup tags.
 HTML itself is the set of custumizable “markup” tags that are inserted
into HTML document govern its format, multimedia content, and
hyperlinks. Any HTML viewer can display such documents but they are
normally viewed usinga Web browser.
 HTML is a programming language in that an HTML document is a

program that, when “run” by a browser, displays its text as
hypermedia (multimedia with hyperlinks).
 The “language” HTML is really only a collection of predefined tags

which , when inserted into regular text, tell a web browser how to:
I. Format the document and its text.
II. Incorporate i.e. insert a graphic image, video sequence, or sound

clip into the displayed document.
III. Link into other locations, in the same document, in another web
page, or even on another computer(Server), or
IV. Link to other programs written in Java,JavaScript or other

languages(called CGI applicatins).
Page
145
Features of HTML:-
• HTML stands for Hyper Text Markup Language.
• An HTML file is a text file containing small markup tags.
• The markup teg tell the Web browser how to display the page.
• An HTML file must have an htm or html file extension.
• An HTML file can be created using a simple text editor.
• It’s a display-only technology.

What is JAVASCRIPT?
Javascript is a compact , object-based scripting language.It can

provide interactive web pages, validate from data, and make your web page
clearer.Javascript is a lightweight interpreted scripting language.The
language is most well known for its use in wesites.It was originally developed
by Brendan Eich of Netscape Communications.It adds interactive functions to
HTML pages, which are otherwise static.Javascript is easier to use than Java,
but not as powerful and deals mainly with the elements on the Web page.On
the client, JavaScript is maintained as source code embedded into an HTML
page.On the Server, it is compiled into byte code(intermediate language),
similar o Java pograms.
Features Of JavaScript:-
• JavaScript was designed to add interactively to HTML pages.

• JavaScript is a scripting language-a scripting language is a
lightweight programming language.
• A JavaScript is usually embedded directly in HTML pages.
• A JavaScript is an interpreted language(means that script
execute without preliminary compilation).
• All major browsers, like Netscape and Internet Explorer, support
JavaScript.
Page
148
Functions Of JavaScript:-
JavaScript gives you the ability to perform the following functions:
• Control document appearance and content
• Control the browser
• Interact with document content
• Interact with the user
• Read and write client state with cookies
• Interact with applets
• Manipulate Embedded Images
Limitations of JavaScript:-
• JavaScript does not have any graphics capabilities
• Client-side JavaScript can not read or write files
• JavaScript does not support networking of any kind
• JavaScript doesn’t have any multithreadind capabilities.
