1. INTRODUCTION

Our Book My Show(BMS) is a web-based system.This project is aimed at developing an

online ticket reservation system for Cinema Halls is an Internet based application which can be

accesses throughout the Net and can be accessed by any one who has a net connection.

The reservation of tickets and Enquiries about availability of the tickets etc. will be

automated by this system email confirmation for the tickets are also included. 

Staff can use the system to insert data (e.g. film description , time table) which will

update the webpage(webpage are dynamic page, changing according to the data in database).

Also, staff can check the statistic information from the system.

Movie Ticketing System that allow movie-goers to book movie tickets through the internet

at any time from any place.

2. OBJECTIVE

2.1 Project Objective

The main purpose of our online ticket booking system is to provide an alternate and convenient

way for a customer to buy cinema tickets. It is an automatic system. After the data has been fed

into the database, the staff does not need to do anything with the order once it is received through

the system. It reduce the time spent waiting in line to purchase tickets and also reduce the

waiting time on phone to get hold of a booking agent.

The main goals of our system are:

1. To provide a anytime anyplace service for the customer

2 . To minimize the number of staff at the ticket box

3 . To promote the film on the internet

4 . To increase the profit

5 . To obtain statistic information from the booking record.

2.2 Academic Objective

To study J2EE (JSP & Servlets), DATABASE connectivity with MS Access database.

To learn about Glassfish server.

3. PROJECT OVERVIEW

3.1 Overview

The Cinema hall has a web site and any user of internet can access this. It is a multiplex with 3

screens and each has three categories of seats.

A customer will enter the movies tab and select the movie to be viewed. He then will select one

of the three categories & select the seats he wish to purchase. Thereafter he has to fill up a login

form so that their database can be maintained.

A receipt will be given to him with the date, time, seats selected for the movie.

The working of the project is as follows.

The first page provides several links.

Home - It contains several informations about the site.

Movies – It gives the description of different movies been shown currently. The theatre is

divided into 3 screens. At a time 3 movies can be viewed. Each screen has 3 categories of

seats :

Platinum (High class)

Gold (Middle Class)

Silver (Low Class)

Each category has 30 seats capacity.

About Us – It shows the description of our website.

Contact Us – this is our toll free contact no. where the customer can contact us for any

queries.

Feedback – We wished to have feedback from the end users about flaws and also why the

application was good. So the customer can leave their comments on this page for us

to improve.

In the Login Page a user have to login before ordering for tickets. In that page user have to enter

Name, Contact no, Movie, No. Of Tickets, Date, time,seats.

The user can enter the number of seats required and the select the categories. It will display the

total rate and seat no.

3.2 Feasibility Study

The initial investigation points to the question whether the project is feasible.

A feasibility is conducted to identify the best system that meets the all the requirements.

This includes an identification description, an evaluation of the proposed systems and

selection of the best system for the job

All projects are feasible when given unlimited resources and infinite time.

An estimate is made of whether the identified user needs may be satisfied using current

software and hardware technologies.

The study will decide if the proposed system will be cost effective from the business

point of view and if it can be developed in the given existing budgetary constraints.

The feasibility study should be relatively cheap and quick. The result should inform the

decision of whether to go ahead with a more detailed analysis.

The study is done in these phases :

Operational Feasibility:- The purpose of the operational feasibility study is to determine

whether the new system will be used if it is developed and implemented. And whether

there will be resistance from users that will undermine the possible application benefits.

Technical Feasibility:- A study of function, performance and constraints may improve

the ability to create an acceptable system. Technical feasibility study deals with the

hardware as well as software requirements.

Economical Feasibility:- A cost evaluation is weighed against the ultimate income or

benefit derived from the developed system or product.

Behavioral Feasibility:- In the existing system more manpower is required and time

factor is more. In the proposed system, both man power and time factors are reduced and

also unnecessary burden is reduced. Therefore, the system is behaviorally feasible.

9

Software Feasibility:- Even though software is developed in a very high software

environment, it will be supported by many other platforms and environments with

minimum changes.

Hardware Feasibility:- The software can be developed with resource already existing.

Here the consideration is that the existing hardware resources support the technologies

that are to be used by the new system. No hardware was newly bought for the project and

hence. Software is said to achieve hardware feasibility.

5. APPLICATION DESIGN

5.1 Design Approach

For the development purpose the scripting language used is JSP (Java Server Pages) as java isthe

most popular language used today.

The Hypertext Transfer Protocol (HTTP) supportsserving up documents in the Hypertext

MarkupLanguage (HTML

A servlet is a Java technology component that executes on the server.

Servlets perform the following:

• Process the HTTP request

• Generate the HTTP response dynamically

• A web container is a special Java™ Virtual Machine (JVM™) that is responsible for

maintaining the life cycle of the servlets, as well as issuing threads for each request.

5.3 Database Design

Server-Side Data Storage:

Several approaches can be used in this case;

A first solution consists in using the file system(text, binary or .xml files) for storing the Cinema

Service data. There are several disadvantages to this solution i.e. high access time to a file,

complicated and slow mechanisms to search for data in a file, data manipulation (insert, update)

implies that the file(s) have to be locked with an exclusive lock. This is not a suitable approach.

A better approach consists in using a Database Management System(DBMS).

A relational DB can be used for storying data on the server side.

16

The access to the data is fast and based on indexes.

Search and update operations are fast.

Concurrent accesses are supported based on thre database driver implementation.

A DBMS supports isolation i.e. transaction execute one at a time;atomicity i.e. transaction

execute either completely or not; and durability the ability to recover from failures or errors of

many types.

A DBMS provides a powerful API for accessing the data. A powerful query language is

available to the developer. A file system has no such advantages.

A DBMS is more powerful than a file system and supports flexible access to large amount of

data.

A relational database management system is chosen as the final solution for this issue.

The overall objective in the development of database technology has been to treat data as an

organizational resource and as an integrated whole. Database is an integrated collection of data.

The most significant form of data as seen by the programmers is data as stored on the direct

access storage devices. This is the difference between logical and physical data. Database files

are the key source of information into the system. It is the process of designing database files,

which are the key source of information to the system. The files should be properly designed and

planned for collection, accumulation, editing and retrieving the required information.

The organization of data in database aims to achieve three major objectives:

Data integration.

Data integrity.

Data independence.

The proposed system stores the information relevant for processing in the MS Access database.

This database ‘db1’ contains table ‘form1’.

Each piece of information in table is called a field or column. A table also contains records,

which is a set of fields. All records in a table have the same set of fields with different

information. There are primary key fields that uniquely identify a record in a table. Here the

primary key is ‘cname’.

Database Table

5.3.1 E-R Diagram

There are three basic elements in ER models:

1. Entities are the "things" about which we seek information.

2. Attributes are the data we collect about the entities.

3. Relationships provide the structure needed to draw information from multiple entities.

6. IMPLEMENTATION

SYSTEM IMPLEMENTATION:

Implementation includes all those activities that take place to convert from the old system to the

new. The old system consists of manual operations, which is operated in a very different manner

from the proposed new system. A proper implementation is essential to provide a reliable system

to meet the requirements of the organizations. An improper installation may affect the success of

the computerized system.

IMPLEMENTATION PLAN:

The implementation plan includes a description of all the activities that must occur to implement

the new system and to put it into operation. It identifies the personnel responsible for the

activities and prepares a time chart for implementing the system. The implementation plan

consists of the following steps.

o List all files required for implementation.

o Identify all data required to build new files during the implementation.

o List all new documents and procedures that go into the new system.

The implementation plan should anticipate possible problems and must be able to deal with

them. The usual problems may be missing documents; mixed data formats between current and

files, errors in data translation, missing data etc.

The following simple steps will guide for the Implementation.

Step 1 - Connect to MS Access and create the following database layout

In order to start the process first we need to install the Java SE development Kit. After that install

Ms Access. Once MS Access is installed we need to create a database where the customer

information will be stored.

Column Name Type

20

cname varchar

cno int

movie varchar

category varchar

ntickets int

mdate date/time

stime date/time

creditcard int

cseats varchar

Database Table

Step 2 - Creating our Java project

The next stage in the implementation process is to create the project in Net beans. To do this,

open Net beans and create a new project (File/New). After the project has been created we need

to create a classes and then we have to code them for database connectivity. If you want to use

another database server, you can use a JDBC connection or any other native Java connector to

attach your java program to the database. To implement this functionality a new class needs to be

created.

Appendix III

Code Testing

Testing and validation are the most important steps after the implementation of the developed

system.

ystem testing is a critical aspect of Software Quality Assurance and represents the ultimate

review of specification, design and coding.

Testing is a process of executing a program with the intent of finding an error

A good test is one that has a probability of finding an as yet undiscovered error.

The purpose of testing is to identify and correct bugs in the developed system. Nothing is

complete without testing.

Testing is the vital to the success of the system.

In the code testing the logic of the developed system is tested. For this every module of the

program is executed to find an error.

To perform specification test, the examination of the specifications stating what the program

should do and how it should perform under various conditions.
