Problem Definition

Description

Problem definition is the first step of the development life cycle where the

problems with the existing system are identified with the help of the process called

“Initial Investigation”. The output of “Initial Investigation” is the problem specification

document, which specifies the set of problems with the existing system as identified by

the analysts.

The existing system of booking tickets is manual which has to be automated and web

enabled so as to reduce crowd in theatre and time spent by the viewers in obtaining

tickets. Here viewers can also select seats of his choice and can see the reviews of movies

being screened.

Problem Specification

The existing system is a manual system that has been recognized to have a certain set of

problems. Some of which are as follows

1 One has to go to the theatre and book tickets.

2 Time spent in queue to collect tickets is more.

3 Availability of tickets is not known in advance.

Software Design

Description

Requirement specifications are now used for translating the model into a design of the

desired system. At this juncture, the emphasis changes from defining the user

requirements to defining how the system will work. Design of the system is nothing but

the blueprint or plan for the solution of the system. It is the first step in moving from the

problem domain towards the solution domain. It is essentially the bridge between

requirements specification and the final solution of the system. The input to the design

phase is the specification document. Design is a multistage process. The stages can be

identified as

KEY FEATURES OF ORACLE 8i

Oracle is the most prevalent Relational Database Management System (RDBMS) in the

world. The Oracle database runs on every major machine and under every prominent

operating system available. Versions of Oracle exist for platforms from modestly

equipped portable computers up to powerful database servers accommodating thousands

of concurrent users.

ADO is a key component of Microsoft’s drive for Universal Data Access (UDA): it can

be used for accessing data wherever it may be stored, either in Oracle / SQL Server

databases. ADO is the “friendly face” of OLE DB. MSADASQL effectively acts as a

conversion layer, mapping OLE DB interfaces to ODBC APIs. It is the default provider

for ADO and, since ODBC is still the only driver that provides access to all Oracle

functionality; it is very useful in many circumstances.

SQL and relational data modeling gives a strong reliable paradigm for data access. The

data base manager provides interfaces and tools that we can use.

The application data is independent of the conceptual model.

MCA PROGRAMME, BU

11


SQL gives many tools need to maintain referential integrity in the

CREATE TABLE Statement.

SECURITY

Security is the protection of the database against unauthorized access od\r change of the

data.

Oracle 8i provides high level of security to the application. Oracle 8i has extensive

models in protecting.

The First Level of Security: Passwords

The first level of security is the Oracle 8i user. Every user has a password.

The Second Level of Security: Privileges

The second level of security is the scheme authorization system. Oracle 8i adds the role

which makes granting privileges even more flexible. A role is grouping of privileges. We

can grant privilege for an object to a role, thus all the users assigned the role those

privileges.

Relational Databases and SQL

In a Relational database, data is stored in tables. A table is a collection of rows and

Columns. Structured Query Language (SQL) is used to retrieve or update data by

specifying columns, tables and various relationships between them. SQL is a

standardized language for defining and manipulating data in a relational data-base. SQL

statements are executed by a database manager. A database manager is a computer

program that manages the data.

MCA PROGRAMME, BU

12


A partitioned relational database is a relational database where the data is managed across

multiple partitions (also called nodes). In this book we will focus our attention on single

partition databases. You can access the sample database and try out all the examples in

this book through interactive SQL by using an interface like the command line processor

(CLP) or the command centre.

STRUCTURED QUERY LANGUAGE

SQL is a set of commands that all programmers and users must use to access data with in

ORACLE database. The Oracle 8i server provides full SQL commands to level 2 and full

implementation of the integrity enhancement features. The SQL consists of facilities for

defining accessing and managing relational database.

Advantages of SQL:

SQL has become a database language of choice because it is flexible, powerful

and easy to learn.

SQL is non procedural language it

o Process sets of records rather than just one at a time.

o Provides automatic navigation to the data.

SQL Provides commands for a variety of tasks including querying data, creating,

updating and replacing objects and inserting, updating and deleting rows.

All major RDBMS supports SQL. Thus one can transfer all the skills gained with

SQL from one RDBMS to another.

Programs written in SQL are portable; they can often be moved from one

database system to another with little modification.

SQL Commands

The SQL Commands are divided into three categories:

MCA PROGRAMME, BU

13


Data Definition Language Commands (DDL)

Data Manipulation Language Commands (DML)

Transaction Control Commands.

TYPES OF SQL OPERATORS

Query data.

Updating, Inserting and Deleting database Objects.

Controlling access to the database.

Providing for data integrity and consistency.

TABLE STRUCTURES

There can be n number of tables in the database to store the data. Our project requires 4

tables to store the data after applying all the three normalization techniques. They are as

follows.

Movie table – It stores the details of movies.

Attribute Type Length

Movie Varchar 30

Ticket details table – It stores information regarding ticket details.

Introduction to HTML

It is important to realize that an HTML document must be built on a very specific

framework. This framework, in its simplest form, consists of three sets of matched

container tags.

A tag is a simple markup element, and always takes the form <TAG>. A container is a

pair of HTML tags of the form <TAG> </TAG>. You can think of the <TAG> element

as turning something on, while the </TAG> turns that same thing off. For example,

consider this line of HTML:

The first HTML tag, , turns on italics. The second tag, , turns them off. When

displayed on-screen, this line of text would look like this: This is in Italics. But this isn't.

The tags themselves don't appear on-screen. They just tell the browser program how to

display the elements they contain.

The simplest possible HTML document is given in the following program below. The

entire document is enclosed in the <HTML></HTML> container tags. The first part of

the document is encapsulated in the <HEAD></HEAD> container, which itself contains

a <TITLE></TITLE> container. Finally, the body of the page is contained in a

<BODY></BODY> container. The Simplest HTML Document

<HTML>

<HEAD>

<TITLE>A Very Basic HTML Document</TITLE>

</HEAD>

<BODY>

This is where the text of the document would be.

</BODY>

</HTML>

The most fundamental of all the tags used to create an HTML document is, not

surprisingly, the <HTML> tag. This tag should be the first item in your document and the

MCA PROGRAMME, BU

16

corresponding end tag, </HTML>, should be the last. Together, these tags indicate that

the material contained between them represents a single HTML document .This is

important because an HTML document is a plain text ASCII file. Without these tags, a

browser or other program isn't able to identify the document format and interpret it

correctly.

The </HTML> end tag is just as important as the start tag. It is becoming possible to

include HTML documents within e-mail messages and news postings. Without the

</HTML>, the viewer does not know when to stop interpreting the text as HTML code.

JavaScript

JavaScript is a lightweight object-based scripting language created by Netscape

Communications Corporation for developing Internet applications. JavaScript is

lightweight in that there isn't a great deal to learn and you can be productive with it very

quickly, in contrast to much more complex languages such as Java. As a scripting

language, JavaScript is meant to tell an application what to do. Unlike languages used to

create applications, it cannot do anything without the application.

You can develop server applications or client applications with JavaScript. In this book,

the term "server" refers to the computer where your Web pages reside. The term "client"

refers to the browser application that loads and displays your Web pages. This book

focuses on teaching you to create client applications with JavaScript-specifically,

documents (Web pages) on the World Wide Web.

You can embed JavaScript statements in Web pages, which are written in HTML

(Hypertext Markup Language). JavaScript is an extension to HTML that lets you create

more sophisticated Web pages than you ever could with HTML alone. To appreciate this,

it helps to know a little history.

The history of JavaScript

MCA PROGRAMME, BU

17


Strictly speaking, HTML is a Standard Generalized Markup Language (SGML),

Document Type Definition (DTD). An SGML document has three parts. The first part

defines the character set to be used and tells which characters in that set distinguish text

from markup tags. Markup tags specify how the viewer application, or browser, should

present the text to the user. The second part of an SGML document specifies the

document type and states which markup tags are legal. The third part of an SGML

document, called the document instance, contains the actual text and markup tags.

Because there is no requirement that the three parts of an SGML document reside in the

same physical file, we can concentrate on the document instance. The Web pages you

create are document instances.

Most HTML browsers assume a common definition about the character set used, and

about which characters distinguish text from markup tags. They also generally agree

about a core set of legal markup tags. They then diverge on which additional new markup

tags to permit.

HTML 1.0 and 2.0

HTML 1.0 refers to the original set of markup tags. HTML 1.0 is so limited that a

browser that restricted HTML documents to HTML 1.0 would be a museum piece.

HTML 2.0 includes a more generous set of markup tags than HTML 1.0; in particular, it

allows markup tags that define user input fields. As of this writing, HTML 2.0 defines the

de facto common core of markup tags. You can create a relatively sophisticated Web

page with HTML 2.0 markup tags.

JavaScript can provide a high degree of user interaction like some other systems,

including CGI and Java.

Java

Many people confuse JavaScript with Java, which is a programming language developed

by Sun Microsystems, Inc. Each has its own Usenet newsgroup, yet people frequently

post questions about Java to the JavaScript newsgroup, and vice versa.

Java is a programming language and JavaScript is a scripting language. Java programs

are compiled on the server. You can write stand-alone programs in Java. Scripts written

MCA PROGRAMME, BU

18


in JavaScript are interpreted by the browser. You cannot write stand-alone programs in

JavaScript-you need a browser to interpret JavaScript.

Java is object-oriented. It employs classes and inheritance. It provides encapsulation of

data. JavaScript is object-based. There are no classes. There is no inheritance. Data

within objects is readily accessible.

Java is compiled into "applets" that are accessed from HTML pages. JavaScript is

embedded in HTML.

Java requires that data types be strongly typed (if a function expects one of its arguments

to be a number, the function will not accept a character string). JavaScript is loosely

typed. JavaScript has numbers, character strings, and Booleans (logical yes/no, true/false,

on/off data) and freely interchanges them.

Java can be used to create very powerful applications. JavaScript scripts cannot really do

all the neat things that Java applets can. On the other hand, it is much more difficult to

write programs in Java than it is to write scripts in JavaScript.

Platforms and browsers

JavaScript, as described in this book, is supported by Netscape Navigator 2.01 and later

releases. It is supported on several architectures, as you can see in Table 1.1.

Introduction to JSP

Java server page (JSP) is a server-side program. A JSP is called by a client to provide a

web service, the nature of which depends on J2EE application. A JSP process the request

by using logic built into the JSP or by calling the other web components built using java

servlet technology or enterprise java bean technology or created using other technologies.

Once the request is processed, the JSP responds by sending the result to the client. JSP is

written in HTML,XML, or in the client’s format that is interspersed with scripting

elements, directives and actions comprised of java programming language ang JSP

syntax.

A JSP is simpler to create than a java servlet because a JSP is written in HTML rather

than with the java programming language. This means that the JSP is not cluttered with

many println ( ) methods as found in a java servlet. However, a JSP offers basically the

sane features found in a java servlet because a JSP is converted to a java servlet the first

time that client requests the JSP.

There are three methods that are automatically called when a JSP is requested and when

the JSP terminates normally. These are the jspInt ( ) method, jspDestroy ( ), and the

service method. These methods can be overridden, although the jspInt ( ) method and

jspDestroy ( ) method are commonly overridden in a SP to provide customized

functionality when the JSP is called and terminates.

JSP Tag

A JSP program consists of a combination of HTML tags and JSP tags. JSP tags define

java code that is to be executed before the output of the JSP program is sent to the

browser.

A JSP tag begins with a <%, which is followed by a java code, and ends with %>. There

is also an extendable mark up language (XML) version of JSP tags, which are formatted

as <JSP: TagID></Jsp: TagID>.

MCA PROGRAMME, BU

20

JSP tags are embedded into the HTML component of a JSP program and are processed

by a JSP virtual engine such as Tomcat. Tomcat reads the JSP program whenever the JSP

program is called by a browser and resolves JSP tags, and then sends the HTML tags and

related information to the browser.

Java code associated with JSP tags in the JSP program is executed when encountered by

tomcat and the result of that process is sent to the browser. The browser knows how to

display the result because the JSP is enclosed within an open and closed HTML tags.

There are five types of JSP tags used in JSP programming. They are

Comment tag

A comment tag open with <%- - and closes with - -%> and is followed by a comment

that usually describes the functionality of statements that follow the comment tag.

Declaration Statement tags

A declaration statement tag opens with <%! And it is followed by a java declaration

statement(s) that define variables, objects, and methods that are available to other

components of the JSP program.

Directive tags

A directive tag opens with<%@ and commands the JSP virtual engine to perform a

specific task, such as importing a java package required by objects and methods used in

the deceleration statement. The directive tag closes with %>. There are three commonly

used directives; these are import, include and taglib. The import tag is used to import the

java packages into the JSP program. The include tag is used to insert a specified file into

the JSP program replacing the include tag. The taglib tag specifies tag that contains a tag

library.

Expression tag

MCA PROGRAMME, BU

21

An expression tag opens with <%= and is used for an expression statement whose result

replaces the expression tag when the JSP virtual engine resolves the JSP tags. An

expression tag closes with %>.

Scriplet tag

A scriplet tag opens with <% and contains commonly used java control statements and

loops. A scriplet tag closes with %>.

Variable and objects

We can declare java variables and objects that are used in a JSP program by using the

same coding technique as used to declare the in java. However, the declaration statement

must appear as a JSP program before the variable or object is used in the program.

The JSP tag begins with <%!. This tells the JSP virtual engine to make statements

contained in the tag available to the to other JSP tgs in the program.

In the following example the variable age is used in an expression tag that is embedded

within the HTNML paragraph tag . a JSP expression tag begins with <%=, which is

followed by the expression.

The JSP virtual engine resolves the JSP expression before sending the output of the JSP

program to the browser. That is, the JSP tag <% = age %> is replaced with the number

29; afterwards, the HTML paragraph tag and related information is sent to the browser.

<HTML>

<HEAD>

<TITLE>JSP Programming</TITLE>

</HEAD>

<BODY>

<%! Int age=29;%>

 Your age is : <%=age%> <\p>

</BODY>

</HTML>

MCA PROGRAMME, BU

22

Methods

A method is defined similar to how a method is defined in a java program expect the

method definition is placed within a JSP tag.

A JSP program is capable of handling practically and kind of method that can normally

use in a java program.

<HTML>

<HEAD>

<TITLE>JSP Programming</TITLE>

</HEAD>

<BODY>

<%! Boolean curve (int grade)

{

return 10 + grade;

}

%>

 your curve grade is : <%=curve (80) %>

<\p>

</BODY>

</HTML>

In the above example both the methods are defined in the same JSP tag, although each

follows java syntax structure for defining a method. One method uses a default value for

the curve, while the overload method enables the statement that calls the method to

provide the value of the curve.

Control Statements

One of the most powerful features available in the JSP is the ability to change the flow of

the program to truly create dynamic content for a web page based on conditions received

from the browser. There are two control statements used to change the flow of a JSP

program. These are the if statement and the if statement and the switch statement, both of

which are also used to direct the flow of a java program. The if statement evaluates a

MCA PROGRAMME, BU

23


condition statement to determine if one or more lines of code are to be executed or

skipped. Similarly, a switch statement compares a value with one or more other values

associated with a case statement. The code segment that is associated with the matching

case statement is executed. Code segments associated with other case statements are

ignored.

The power of these controls comes from the fact that the code segment that is executed or

skipped can consist of HTML tags or a combination of HTML tags and JSP tags. That is,

these code segments don’t need to be only java statements or java tags.

Loops

JSP loops are nearly identical to loops that you use in your java program except you can

repeat HTML tags and related information multiple times within the JSP program without

having to enter the additional HTML tags. There are three kinds of loops commonly used

in a JSP program. These are the for loop, the while loop, and the do…while loop. The for

loop repeats, usually a specified number of times, although you can create an endless for

loop. The while loop executes continually as long as a specified condition remains true.

However, the while loop may not execute because the condition may never be true. In

contrast, the do... while loop executes at least once; afterwards. The conditional

expression in the do...while loop is evaluated to determine if the loop should be executed

another time.

Request String

The browser generates a user request string whenever the Submit button is selected. The

user request string consists of the URL and the query string. There are four predefined

implicit objects that are in every JSP program. These are request, response, session, and

out. the request object is an instance of HTTPServletResponse, and the session object is

an instance of HttpSession. The out object is an instance of the JSPWriter that is used to

send a response to the client. Copying a value from a multivalued field such as selection

MCA PROGRAMME, BU

24


list field can be tricky since there are multiple instances of the field name, each with a

different value. However you can easily handle multivalued fields by using the

getParameterValues ( ) method. The getParametervalues ( ) method is designed to return

multiple values from the field specified as the argument to the getParameterValues ( ).

Parsing other information

The request string sent to the JSP by the browser is divided into two general components

that are separated by the question mark. The URL component appears to the left of the

question mark and the query string is to right of the question mark. The URL is divided

into four parts, beginning with the protocol. The protocol defines the rules that are used

to transfer the request string from the browser to the JSP program. Three of the more

commonly used protocol re HTTP, HTTPS and FTP, which is a file transfer protocol.

Next is the host and port combination. The host is the internet protocol (IP) address or the

name of the server that contains the JSP program. The port number is the port that the

host monitors. Usually the port is excluded from the request string whenever HTTP is

used because the assumption is the host monitoring port 80. following the host and port is

the virtual path of the JSP program. The server maps the virtual path to the physical path.

Session Objects

A JSP database system is able to share information among JSP programs within a session

by using a session object. Each time a session is created; a unique ID is assigned to the

session and stored as a cookie.

The unique ID enables JSP programs to track multiple sessions simultaneously while

maintaining data integrity of each session. The session ID is used to prevent the

intermingling of information from clients.

In addition to the session ID, a session object is also used to store other types of

information, called attributes. An attribute can be login information, preferences, or even

purchases placed in an electronic shopping cart.

Tomcat

JSP programs are executed by a JSP virtual machine that runs on a web server. Therefore,

you will need to have access to a JSP virtual machine to run your JSP program.

MCA PROGRAMME, BU

25


Alternatively, you can use an integrated development environment such as JBulider that

has a built in JSP virtual machine or you can download and install a JSP virtual machine.

One of the most popular JSP virtual machines is tomcat, and it is downloadable at no

charge from the Apache web site. Apache is also a popular web server that you can also

download at no cost. You will also need to have the java development kit (JDK) installed

on your computer. Here is what we will need to download and install Tomcat:

Connect to jacarta.apache.org

Select Download.

Select Binaries to display the Binary Download page.

Create a folder from the root directory called tomcat.

Download the latest release of Jakarta-tomcat. Zip to the tomcat folder.

Unzip Jakarta-tomcat. Zip. You can download a demo copy of WinZip from

www.winzip.com if you don’t have a zip/unzip program installed on your computer.

The extraction process should create the following folders in the tomcat directory; bin,

conf, doc, lib, src, and webapps.

Use a text editor such as notepad and edit the JAVA_HOME variable in the

tomcat.bat.file, which is located in the \tomcat\bin folder. Make sure the JAVA_HOME

variable is assigned the path where the JDK is installed on the computer.

Open a DOS window and type \tomcat\bin\tomcat to start Tomcat.

Open your browser. Enter htto://localhost:8080. The tomcat home page is displayed on

the screen verifying that tomcat is running.

Software Testing

Software Testing

Software testing is the process used to help identify the correctness, completeness,

security, and quality of developed computer software. Testing is a process of technical

investigation, performed on behalf of stakeholders, that is intended to reveal quality-

related information about the product with respect to the context in which it is intended to

operate. This includes, but is not limited to, the process of executing a program or

application with the intent of finding errors.

Software Verification and Validation

Software verification and validation is intended to show that a system conforms to its

specification and that the system meets the expectations of our client for whom the

system is being developed. It involves checking processes such as inspections and

reviews at each stage of the software process form user requirements definition to

program development.

Test case, suites, scripts and scenarios

A test case is usually a single step, and its expected result, along with various additional

pieces of information. It can occasionally be a series of steps but with one expected result

or expected outcome.

The most common term for a collection of test cases is a test suite. The test suite often
