CHAPTER 2

INTRODUCTION TO JAVA

2.1 JAVA

Java is an entire programming language resembling C or C++. It takes a sophisticated

programmer to create Java code. And it requires a sophisticated programmer to maintain

it. With Java, you can create complete applications. Or you can attach a small group of

instructions, a Java "applet" that improves your basic HTML. A Java Applet can also

cause text to change color when you roll over it. A game, a calendar, a scrolling text

banner can all be created with Java Applets. There are sometimes Compatibility problems

between Java and various browsers, operating systems or computers, and if not written

correctly, it can be slow to load. Java is a powerful programming language with excellent

Security, but you need to be aware of the tradeoffs.

The Java Programming Language

The Java programming language is a high-level language that can be characterized by

all of the following characteristics

Simple

Object oriented

Distributed

Multithreaded

Architecture neutral

Portable

High performance

Robust

Simple

According to Sun, Java language is simple because Syntax is based on C++ (so easier

for programmers to learn it after C++).removed many confusing and/or rarely-used

features e.g., explicit pointers, operator overloading etc.No need to remove

unreferenced objects because there is Automatic Garbage Collection in java.


3

Object Oriented

Object-oriented means we organize our software as a combination of different types

of objects that incorporates both data and behaviour.

Object-oriented programming(OOPs) is a methodology that simplify software

development and maintenance by providing some rules.

Basic concepts of OOPs are:

Object

Class

Inheritance

Polymorphism

Abstraction

Secured

Java is secured because

No explicit Pointer.

Program run inside virtual machine sandbox.

Robust

Robust simply means strong. Java uses strong memory management. There are lack of

pointers that avoids security problem. There is automatic garbage collection in java.

There is exception handling and type checking mechanism in java. All these points

make java robust.

Distributed

We can create distributed applications in java. RMI and EJB are used for creating

distributed applications. We may access files by calling the methods from any

machine on the internet.

Fig 2.1:- An overview of the software development process.

Multi-threaded

A thread is like a separate program, executing concurrently. We can write Java

programs that deal with many tasks at once by defining multiple threads. The main


4

advantage of multi-threading is that it shares the same memory. Threads are important

for multi-media, Web applications etc.

The Java platform has two components

The Java Virtual Machine (JVM)

The Java Application Programming Interface (API)

Java Virtual Machine is the base for the Java platform and is ported onto various

hardware-based platforms.

The API is a large collection of ready-made software components that provide many

useful capabilities. It is grouped into libraries of related classes and interfaces; these

libraries are known as packages.

Fig 2.2:- Components of Java Platform

The API and Java Virtual Machine insulate the program from the

underlying hardware.

Every full implementation of the Java platform gives you the following features:

Development Tools: The development tools provide means for compiling,

running, debugging, and documenting your applications. The main tools are

the javac compiler, the java launcher, and the javadoc documentation tool.

Application Programming Interface (API): The API provides the core

functionality of the Java programming language. It offers a wide array of

useful classes ready for use in your own applications. It spans everything from

basic objects, to networking and security, to XML generation and database

access, etc.

Deployment Technologies: The JDK software provides standard mechanisms

such as the Java Web Start software and Java Plug-In software for deploying

your applications to end users.

Integration Libraries: Integration libraries such as the Java IDL, JDBC,

JNDI, Java RMI, and Java Remote Method Invocation over Internet Inter-

ORB Protocol Technology (Java RMI-IIOP Technology) enable database

access and manipulation of remote objects

2.2 WHAT IS JSP?

Short for Java Server Page. A server-side technology, Java Server Pages are an extension

to the Java servlet technology that was developed by Sun. JSPs have dynamic scripting

capability that works in tandem with HTML code, separating the page logic from the

static elements -- the actual design and display of the page -- to help make the HTML

more functional(i.e. dynamic database queries). A JSP is translated into Java servlet

before being run and it processes HTTP requests & generates responses like servlet.

However, JSP technology provides a more convenient way to code a servlet Translation

occurs the first time the application is run. A JSP translator is triggered by the .jsp file

name extension in a URL. JSPs are fully interoperable with servlet. You can include

output from a servlet or forward the output to a servlet and a servlet can include output

from a JSP or forward output to a JSP. JSPs are not restricted to specific platform or

server. It was originally created as an alternative to Microsoft's ASP (Active Server

Pages). Recently, however, Microsoft has countered JSP technology with its own

ASP.NET, part of the .NET initiative.

Life cycle of a JSP Page

The JSP pages follow these phases:

Translation of JSP Page

Compilation of JSP Page

Class loading (class file is loaded by the classloader)

Instantiation (Object of the Generated Servlet is created).

Initialization ( jspInit() method is invoked by the container).

Request processing ( _jspService() method is invoked by the container).

Destroy ( jspDestroy() method is invoked by the container).

As depicted in the below diagram, JSP page is translated into servlet by the help of

JSP translator. The JSP translator is a part of web server that is responsible to translate

the JSP page into servlet. After that Servlet page is compiled by the compiler and gets

converted into the class file. The JSP translator is a part of web server that is

responsible to translate the JSP page into servlet. After that Servlet page is compiled

by the compiler and gets Moreover, all the processes that happens in servlet is

performed on JSP later like initialization, committing response to the browser and

destroy

2.3 INTRODUCTION ABOUT HTML

HTML is a computer language devised to allow website creation. These websites can

then be viewed by anyone else connected to the Internet. It is relatively easy to learn;

and quite powerful in what it allows you to create. It is constantly undergoing revision

and evolution to meet the demands and requirements of the growing Internet audience

under the direction of the W3C, the organization charged with designing and

maintaining the language.

HTML stands for Hyper Text Markup Language.

Hyper is the opposite of linear. This means HTML does not hold to linear

pattern and allows the person viewing the World Wide Web page to go

anywhere, any time they want.

Text is what you will use. Real, honest to goodness English letters.

Mark up is what you will do. You will write in plain English and then mark up

what you wrote.

Language because they needed something that started with "L" to finish HTML and

Hypertext Markup Louie didn't flow correctly. Because it's a language, really -- but

the language is plain English.

HTML is a Language, as it has code-words and syntax like any other language.

HTML is a language for describing web pages.


7

HTML is not a programming language, it is a markup language

A markup language is a set of markup tags

HTML uses markup tags to describe web pages

HTML Element Syntax

An HTML element starts with a start tag / opening tag.

An HTML element ends with an end tag / closing tag.

The element content is everything between the start and the end tag.

Some HTML elements have empty content, are closed in the start tag.

Most HTML elements can have attributes.

Nested HTML Elements

The HTML Elements can be nested, that is one element can be inside the other.

Here there are three elements , and . tag is nested inside

which in turn is nested inside . Always Remember to put the End Tags

after opening the tags.

HTML Basic Tags

Heading Tags

There are 6 levels of headings in HTML specified by , , , ,

and tags. defines the largest heading and defines the smallest.

My First Heading.My Second

Heading.

Paragraph Tags of HTML

paragraph tags are used to define the HTML paragraph element. The paragraph

element begins with the tag and ends with the tag.

Hyperlink Tags

These are the tags that really made web pages unique, by letting a person click on text

or an image and go to other webpage. Hyperlink tags are container tags, which mean

there must be an initial tag and an ending tag. All the WebPages in a website are

connected to one another using the Hyperlinks.

Hello World


8

Google

Image Tags

This Tag is used for putting pictures or images on your web page. The images can be

of any format that is JPG, GIF, PNG etc. The tag is empty, which means that it

contains attributes only and it has no closing tag.

Other HTML Tags

Some other useful tags like HTML Rules, HTML Comments, Line Breaks etc.

Drawing HTML Rules

(Horizontal Rule) is a standalone tag that generates a horizontal line. There is

no corresponding HTML command for a vertical line.

My First Heading.

My Second Heading.

HTML Comments

All combinations of text placed within the comment tags will be ignored by the web

browser, this includes any HTML tags, scripting language(s), etc.

Line Breaks

HTML Text Formatting Tags

We can format to Bold, Italicize, Underline, Subscript or Superscript any text in the

HTML Page.

I am writing a Very Long Paragraph. You Would need like it.


9

Bold

(Bold) is a tag that makes any text between its text to be formatted as Bold. You

always had to remember closing the bold tag after you have formatted the required

text.

Italic

(Italic) is a tag that makes any text between its text to be formatted as Italic.

Underline

(Underline) is a tag that makes any text between tags to be formatted as

Underlined.

This will appear Bold.

While This will be italic.

This will appear Underline.

Marquee

(Marquee) is a tag that makes any text between tags to be

formatted as moving left, right, top, bottom as defined.

Welcome to SUSWEC

HTML Table Tags

The tag defines an HTML table. A simple HTML table consists of one or

more tr (table row), th (table header), and td (table cell) elements.

Month

Savings

January

100 Rs.

February

120 Rs.

HTML List Tags

Words or phrases which need to be set apart from the rest of the body of text can be

Emphasized with a bullet (a heavy dot used for calling attention to a particular


10

section of text). An empty tag called a list tag is used to do this.

List Tag

: creates a bullet in front of text which is to be set apart for emphasis and causes

all text after it to be indented, either until another list tag is detected or until the end of

the list is reached. It is used to itemize elements of unordered and ordered lists.

Unordered List

An unordered list is a list of items. The list items are marked with bullets (typically

small black circles). An unordered list starts with the tag. Each list item starts

with the tag.

JanuaryFebruary

Ordered List

An ordered list is also a list of items. The list items are marked with numbers. An

ordered list starts with the tag. Each list item starts with the tag.

January

February

Designing HTML Forms

A form is an area that can contain form elements. Form elements are elements that

allow the user to enter information (like text fields, text area fields, drop-down menus,

radio buttons, checkboxes, etc.) in a form. A form is defined with the tag.

Radio Button

Radio Buttons are used while selecting one of a limited No. of choices.

Checkbox

Checkboxes are used while selecting one or more options of a limited number of

choices.

2.4 CASCADING STYLE SHEETS (CSS)

CSS stands for Cascading Style Sheet. It defines a way how the information is

presented by all the browsers on the web. A style sheet is a set of rules that controls

the formatting of HTML elements on one or more web pages.

Thus, the appearance of a Web page can be changed by changing the style sheet

associated with it. There is no need to make detailed changes within the Web page to


11

change how it looks. As one style sheet can be used for a whole web site, it normally

means that the overall size of the website is smaller and downloads required for each

page can be decreased by up to 40%.

CSS Types

Inline CSS

Internal CSS

External CSS

Inline CSS

Inline CSS is defined inside particular tag as its property using where we can

add no. of properties. It is used within a single tag. Once we have declared properties

of style sheet, we cant use those properties in another tag.

Internal CSS

It is used for all the tags. In this type of CSS, is used like a tag. is

used within tag for single webpage. We have 2 different methods for this CSS.

By Class - Using Dot (.)

By Id - Using Hash (#)

.M1

{color: skyblue;}

#M2

{color: skyblue; }

BY CLASS

BY ID


12

Properties Used in CSS

Font-weight, font-style, font-size, font-family

Text-align, text-transformation, text-decoration

Line-spacing, letter-height, height, width, color

background-color, background-image, background-repeat

background-size, border, margin-left-right-top-bottom

text-shadow, box-shadow, outline

2.5 JAVA SCRIPT

Java script is a scripting language. To develop interactive Web sites, you need to

create a Web interface for accepting data from users. The data accepted can be stored

for further processing and validation. So we use the Java Script.

You will also be able to write Java Script code to validate the data entered by users on

the Web sites, handle run-time and execution errors in Web documents, and

communicate with the users by displaying messages.

To create interactive Web documents, the language used is Hypertext Markup

Language (HTML). However, HTML does not support data processing on the client

computer.

JavaScript was designed to add interactivity to HTML pages.

JavaScript is a scripting language.

A scripting language is a lightweight programming language.

JavaScript is usually embedded directly into HTML pages.

JavaScript is an interpreted language (means that scripts execute without

preliminary compilation).

Everyone can use JavaScript without purchasing a license.

Features of JavaScript

JavaScript gives HTML designers a programming tool - HTML authors are

normally not programmers, but JavaScript is a scripting language with a very

simple syntax! But JavaScript is a scripting language with a very simple

syntax! Almost anyone can put small "snippets" of code into their HTML

pages.

JavaScript can react to events - A JavaScript can be set to execute when

something happens, like when a page has finished loading like when a page

has finished loading like when a page has finished loading like when a page

has finished loading or when a user clicks on an HTML element.


13

JavaScript can read and write HTML elements - A JavaScript can read and

change the content of an HTML element.

JavaScript can be used to validate data - A JavaScript can be used to validate

form data before it is submitted to a server.

JavaScript can be used to detect the visitor's browser - A JavaScript can be

used to detect the visitor's browser, and - depending on the browser - load

another page specifically designed for that browser..

2.6 JAVA DATABASE CONNECTIVITY (JDBC)

JDBC stands for "Java Database Connectivity". It is an API (Application

Programming Interface) which consists of a set of Java classes, interfaces.

JDBC is a very popular data access standard. RDBMS (Relational Database

Management Systems) or third-party vendors develop drivers which adhere to the

JDBC specification

The JDBC API is a Java API that can access any kind of tabular data, especially data

stored in a Relational Database.

JDBC helps you to write java applications that manage these three programming

activities:

Connect to a data source, like a database

Send queries and update statements to the database

Retrieve and process the results received from the database in answer to your

query

2.7 SWING

Swing are light weight components which dependent on java API's. So same look and

feel on all Operating Systems. All swing components are designed using architecture

Model View Controller (MVC).

Model - Storage

View - Presentation

Controller Event Handling

Netscape and sun has jointly produced the original swing set of components as part of

the Java Foundation Classes (JFC). Swing and JFC are not the same thing, rather

swing is a part of the JFC library. JFC provides the following features: -

swing (The large UI package)

cut & paste (Clipboard support)

Accessibility features

Four new components have been introduced in Swing to deal with the complexities

involved in mixing up the heavy weight and the lightweight components in the same

container.

2.8 JAVA MULTITHREADING

Multithreading is a conceptual programming paradigm where a program (process) is

divided into two or more subprograms (processes/threads), which can be implemented

at the same time in parallel. which can be implemented at the same time in parallel.

For example, one subprogram can display an animation on the screen while another

may build the next animation to be displayed. This is something similar to dividing a

task into subtasks and assigning them to different people for execution independently

and simultaneously.

CPU has a limitation that it cannot run more than one thread at a time so with the help

of time sharing concept it simulates an execution of more than one thread at a time.

2.9 THREAD

A thread is similar to a program that has a single flow of control. It has beginning, a

body and an end and executes commands sequentially. an end and executes

commands sequentially. The Java VM always has multiple threads, called daemon

threads, running. For example, a continually running daemon thread performs garbage

collection tasks. Another daemon thread handles mouse and keyboard events.

There are two ways to create the thread in java

1. By implementing the Runnable Interface

2. By extending the Thread class.

Runnable:-

Runnable interface is very useful in that situation when we want to extend any class

and want to create that class as Thread class. When we want to extend any class and

want to create that class as Thread class. Just implements the Runnable interface and

override the run () method.


16

Thread: -

Thread can be created by extending the Thread class. Java does not support multiple

inheritances so in that situation where no other inheritance except Thread class is

required at that time it is very useful. Inherit the Thread class and then override the

run() method of Thread class.

Life Cycle of a Thread

Following are the thread state: -

New born state

Runnable state

Running state

Blocked State

Dead State

Fig 2.5:- Life Cycle of Thread

New born state: -

When we create a thread object, the thread is born and is said to be in newborn state.

The thread is not yet scheduled for running. At this state we can choose any one of the

following method: -


17

start() method (to start the thread).

stop() method (to stop or kill the thread)

Runnable state

The Runnable state means that the thread is ready for execution and is waiting for

the availability of the process i.e. thread has joined the queue of threads that are

waiting for execution. If all threads have equals priority, then they are given time

slots for execution in round robin fashion i.e. FIFO (First In First Out). Assigning

the time to the threads is called time slicing. If we want a thread to relinquish

control to another thread to equal priority before its turn comes, then we can do

this by using the yield() method.

Running state: -

Running means that the processor has given its time to the thread for its execution.

The thread runs until it relinquishes control on its own or it is preempted by a

higher priority thread. A running thread may relinquish its control in one of the

following situations: -

It Can be suspended by using suspend () method. It can be revived by using resume

method () method.

Sleep () method can be used to sleep the current running thread by passing

time in milliseconds as a argument in sleep method.

Wait () method is used to wait by a thread uptil it is not notified by calling

Notify () method.

Block state

A thread is said to be blocked when it is prevented from entering into the Runnable

state and subsequently the running state. This happens when the thread is suspended,

sleeping or waiting in order to satisfy certain requirements. A blocked thread is

considered not runnable but not dead and it can run again at any time.

Dead state

Every thread destroyed when it has completed executing its run() method. It is known

as natural death. stop() method is used to kill the thread. Thread can be killed in its

born, running or even in blocked state.

Thread priority

When a Java thread is created, it inherits its priority from the thread that created it.

The thread with the highest priority is executed. When that thread stops, yields, or


18

becomes not Runnable, a lower priority thread will be executed. If two threads of the

same priority are waiting, the Java scheduler will choose one of them to run in a

round-robin fashion.

Synchronization

One of the central problems of multithreaded computing is handling situations where

more than one thread has access to the same data structure.

Java - Collections Framework

A collection is simply an object that groups multiple elements into a single unit.

Collections are used to store, retrieve, manipulate, and communicate aggregate data.

A collections framework is a unified architecture for representing and manipulating

collections. All collections frameworks contain the following:

Interfaces: These are abstract data types that represent collections. Interfaces

allow collections to be manipulated independently of the details of their

representation.

Implementations: These are the concrete implementations of the collection

interfaces. In essence, they are reusable data structures.

Algorithms: These are the methods that perform useful computations, such as

searching and sorting, on objects that implement collection interfaces. The

algorithms are said to be polymorphic: that is, the same method can be used on

many different implementations of the appropriate collection interface. In

essence, algorithms are reusable functionality.

The collections framework provides the following benefits:

Reduces programming effort

Increases program speed and quality

Allows interoperability among unrelated APIs

Reduces effort to learn and to use new APIs

Reduces effort to design new APIs

2.10 NET BEANS IDE

A free, open-source Integrated Development Environment for software developers.

One can get all the tools you need to create professional desktop, enterprise, web, and

mobile applications with the Java language, C/C++, and even dynamic languages such

as PHP, JavaScript, Groovy, and Ruby.

Net Beans IDE is easy to install and use straight out of the box and runs on many

platforms including Windows, Linux, Mac OS X and Solaris.


19

NetBeans IDE is an integrated development environment (IDE) for writing,

compiling, testing, and debugging desktop applications and web applications for the

Java platform.

NetBeans IDE includes a full-featured text editor with syntax highlighting and error

checking, visual design tools, Ant support, version control system support, and many

other features.

The NetBeans IDE 6.5 provides several new features and enhancements, such as rich

PHP, JavaScript and Ajax editing features, improved support for using the Hibernate

web framework and the Java Persistence API, and tighter GlassFish v3 and MySQL

integration.

A computer language is a series of words used to give instructions to the computer,

telling it what to do, how to do it, and when to do it. One of these computer languages

is called Java. The purpose of this site is to study this language.

In our lessons, we will learn Java as a computer language not as a development

environment. This means that we will primarily build applications that show how this

language functions, not how to create graphical applications. The types of programs

we will create on this site are called console applications. By default, a console

application displays its result(s) in a black window. To make it a little easier, we will

use an environment that displays a window but with a different background color

Net Beans Platform

The Net Beans Platform is a reusable framework for simplifying the development of

Java Swing desktop applications. The Net Beans IDE bundle for Java SE contains

what is needed to start developing Net Beans plug-in and Net Beans Platform based

applications; no additional SDK is required.

Applications can install modules dynamically. Any application can include the

Update Center module to allow users of the application to download digitally-signed

upgrades and new features directly into the running application. Reinstalling an

upgrade or a new release does not force users to download the entire application

again.

The platform offers reusable services common to desktop applications, allowing

developers to focus on the logic specific to their application. Among the features of

the platform are:

User interface management (e.g. menus and toolbars)


20

User settings management

Storage management (saving and loading any kind of data)

Window management

Wizard framework (supports step-by-step dialogs)

What Is a Java SE Application?

A Java SE application is an application written to the Java Platform, Standard Edition

(Java SE). The same unmodified Java SE applications can be run on almost any

computer, whether that computer uses the Microsoft Windows, Solaris, Linux, or Mac

OS operating systems. The key to this application portability is the Java Runtime

Environment, which is available free of charge for most operating systems, including

all of the ones mentioned above.

In addition to being a platform for multi-platform desktop applications, the Java SE

platform is the basis for other technologies such as Java Platform, Enterprise Edition.

You might find yourself writing Java code that provides back-end logic for web and

enterprise applications as well.

2.11 SQL

Structured Query Language is a special-purpose programming language designed

for managing data held in a relational database management system (RDBMS).

Originally based upon relational algebra and tuple relational calculus, SQL consists of

a data definition language and a data manipulation language. The scope of SQL

includes data insert, query, update and delete, schema creation and modification, and

data access control.

SQL was one of the first commercial languages for Edgar F. Codd's relational model,

as described in his influential 1970 paper, "A Relational Model of Data for Large

Shared Data Banks." Despite not entirely adhering to the relational model as

described by Codd, it became the most widely used database language.

Queries

A query includes a list of columns to be included in the final result immediately

following the SELECT keyword. An asterisk ("*") can also be used to specify that the

query should return all columns of the queried tables. SELECT is the most complex

statement in SQL, with optional keywords and clauses that include:

The FROM clause which indicates the table(s) from which data is to be

retrieved. The FROM clause can include optional JOIN subclauses to specify

the rules for joining tables.


21

The WHERE clause includes a comparison predicate, which restricts the rows

returned by the query. The WHERE clause eliminates all rows from the result

set for which the comparison predicate does not evaluate to True.

The GROUP BY clause is used to project rows having common values into a

smaller set of rows. GROUP BY is often used in conjunction with SQL

aggregation functions or to eliminate duplicate rows from a result set.

The WHERE clause is applied before the GROUP BY clause.

The HAVING clause includes a predicate used to filter rows resulting from

the GROUP BY clause. Because it acts on the results of the GROUP

BY clause, aggregation functions can be used in the HAVING clause

predicate.

The ORDER BY clause identifies which columns are used to sort the resulting

data, and in which direction they should be sorted (options are ascending or

descending). Without an ORDER BY clause, the order of rows returned by an

SQL query is undefined

Features in SQL Server Management Studio

SQL Server Management Studio includes the following general features:

Supports most administrative tasks for SQL Server.s

A single, integrated environment for SQL Server Database Engine

management and authoring.

Dialogs for managing objects in the SQL Server Database Engine, Analysis

Services, and Reporting Services, that allows you to execute your actions

immediately, send them to a Code Editor, or script them for later execution.

Non-modal and resizable dialogs allow access to multiple tools while a dialog

is open.

A common scheduling dialog that allows you to perform action of the

management dialogs at a later time.

Exporting and importing SQL Server Management Studio server registration

from one Management Studio environment to another.

Save or print XML Showplan or Deadlock files generated by SQL Server

Profiler, review them later, or send them to administrators for analysis.

A new error and informational message box that presents much more

information, allows you to send Microsoft a comment about the messages,


22

allows you to copy messages to the clipboard, and allows you to easily e-mail

the messages to your support team.

An integrated Web browser for quick browsing of MSDN or online help.

Integration of Help from online communities.

A tutorial on SQL Server Management Studio to help you take advantage of

the many new features and become more productive right away.

A new activity monitor with filtering and automatic refresh.

Integrated Database Mail interfaces.

The Main Features of SQL

The following list describes some of the important characteristics of the MySQL

Database Software

Internals and Portability

Written in C and C++.

Tested with a broad range of different compilers.

APIs for C, C++, Eiffel, Java, Perl, PHP, Python, Ruby, and Tcl are available.

Fully multi-threaded using kernel threads. This means it can easily use

multiple CPUs if they are available.

Provides transactional and non-transactional storage engines.

A very fast thread-based memory allocation system.

Very fast joins using an optimized one-sweep multi-join.

In-memory hash tables which are used as temporary tables.

SQL functions are implemented using a highly optimized class library and

should be as fast as possible. Usually there is no memory allocation at all after

query initialization.

The MySQL code is tested with Purify (a commercial memory leakage

detector) as well as with Valgrind, a GPL tool.

The server is available as a separate program for use in a client/server

networked environment. It is also available as a library that can be embedded

(linked) into standalone applications. Such applications can be used in

isolation or in environments where no network is available.

Column Types

Many column types: signed/unsigned integers 1, 2, 3, 4, and 8 bytes long,

FLOAT, DOUBLE, CHAR, VARCHAR, TEXT, BLOB, DATE, TIME,


23

DATETIME, TIMESTAMP, YEAR, SET, ENUM, and OpenGIS geometry

types.

Fixed-length and variable-length records.

Commands and Functions

Full operator and function support in the SELECT and WHERE clauses of

queries. For example:

mysql> SELECT CONCAT(first_name, ' ', last_name)

FROM tbl_name

WHERE income/dependents > 10000 AND age > 30;

Full support for SQL GROUP BY and ORDER BY clauses. Support for

group functions (COUNT(), COUNT(DISTINCT ...), AVG(), STD(), SUM(),

MAX(), MIN(), and GROUP_CONCAT()).

Support for LEFT OUTER JOIN and RIGHT OUTER JOIN with both

standard SQL and ODBC syntax.

Support for aliases on tables and columns as required by SQL-92.

DELETE, INSERT, REPLACE, and UPDATE return the number of rows that

were changed (affected). It is possible to return the number of rows matched

instead by setting a flag when connecting to the server.

The MySQL-specific SHOW command can be used to retrieve information

about databases, tables, and indexes. The EXPLAIN command can be used to

determine how the optimizer resolves a query.

Function names do not clash with table or column names. eg, ABS is a valid

column name. The only restriction is that for a function call, no spaces are

allowed between the function name and the `(' that follows it. You can mix

tables from different databases in the same query (as of Version 3.22).

Security

A privilege and password system that is very flexible and secure, and allows

host-based verification. Passwords are secure because all password traffic is

encrypted when you connect to a server.

Scalability and Limits

Handles large databases. We use MySQL Server with databases that contain

50 million records. We also know of users that use MySQL Server with

60,000 tables and about 5,000,000,000 rows.


24

Up to 32 indexes per table are allowed. Each index may consist of 1 to 16

columns or parts of columns. The maximum index width is 500 bytes (this

may be changed when compiling MySQL Server). An index may use a prefix

of a CHAR or VARCHAR column.

Connectivity

Clients may connect to the MySQL server using TCP/IP sockets on any

platform. On Windows systems in the NT family (NT, 2000, or XP), clients

may connect using named pipes. On Unix systems, clients may connect using

Unix domain socket files.

The Connector/ODBC interface provides MySQL support for client programs

that use ODBC (Open-DataBase-Connectivity) connections. For example, you

can use MS Access to connect to your MySQL server. Clients may be run on

Windows or Unix. Connector/ODBC source is available. All ODBC 2.5

functions are supported, as are many others.

The Connector/JDBC interface provides MySQL support for Java client

programs that use JDBC connections. Clients may be run on Windows or

Unix. Connector/JDBC source is available.

Clients and Tools

The MySQL server has built-in support for SQL statements to check,

optimize, and repair tables. These statements are available from the command

line through the mysqlcheck client. MySQL also includes myisamchk, a very

fast command-line utility for performing these operations on MyISAM tables.

All MySQL programs can be invoked with the --help or -? options to obtain

online assistance.

CHAPTER 3

INTRODUCTION TO PROJECT

Technology is constantly changing. Society as we know it depends on this fact. That

which we take for granted today would have been the stuff of science fiction as little

as fifty years ago. In fifty years time, we will doubtless be excited, perturbed and

baffled by yet more new developments. In the early years of the twenty first century,

it is computers and the Internet that have captured the public imagination, and found

their way into not just the working environments, but increasingly into the domestic

space. In this modern society, if we are not capable to cope up with these changes

than we are not going to stand or survive anywhere in this technical world. Today

there is no place for errors, so as to make a system more effective and efficient we

need such technology where error prone chances must be least.

In the scenario of the assignment, we are required to develop a web-based application

on Job Portal Management System. In this time of recession where everyone, is either

experienced or fresher, is in search for a job. This job portal can prove to be very

helpful since it allows users of different profile to upload their CVs, search job on the

basis of their qualification. Every user can access through user id and apply for

multiple jobs at a time.

Currently, we are working on a manual system where data is stored in the form of

registers. Viewing available jobs, or applying for the job at the agency can be done for

which job seekers has to go to the agency and check the available jobs at the agency.

Job seekers check he list of jobs available and apply the job. Then the agency will

show available jobs for the job seeker for his qualifications and then updates the jobs

database. The developed Job Portal management system is web-based which

Requires Employee Registration & Profiles, Job Search, Employer Registration &

Profiles, and Subscription Option for both Employee and Employer etc. Employer can

add Own Profile and post jobs and Job Seeker can Search Jobs based on Geographical

Area (State), Qualification, and Departments wise.

3.1 PURPOSE

The purpose of designing the online job portal is to give the job seekers a platform for

finding a right and a satisfactory job according to their qualification. It also connects

the job seekers with the major agencies.


26

It also provides Jobs portal for Job Seekers to submit their CV and apply for job

posting and Employer can select best Employees from Available CV based on their

payment option selection. This is basically a Job portal where job Seeker applies for

jobs and employer post jobs and select prospective applicant.

Job portal is prepared for provide all categories of job and help to get various type of

job. The main purpose of job portal is to provide the facility to job seekers for getting

the quick job.

So, it enables applicants to search for jobs in a convenient manner and to enable

employers to find suitable candidates.

3.2 OBJECTIVE

The objective of the application is to develop a system using which job applicants and

recruiters can communicate with each other. An Online Job Portal is an application

where the job seekers can register themselves at the website and search jobs which are

suitable for them where as the employers register with the website and put up jobs

which are vacant at their company.

The Online Job Portal System is a package to be used by agencies to improve the

efficiency of business. The Online Job Portal System to be developed benefits greatly

the members. The system provides jobs catalogue and information to members and

helps them decide on the jobs to apply. The Admin and employers can keep the jobs

catalogue updated all the time so that the Job seekers get the updated information all

the time.

3.3 SCOPE

The Scope for the system can be as follows:-

Maintain Job Seeker and Employer records

Maintain uploaded Resumes

Provide Customized Job Postings

Maintain Job Posting details and generate various reports


27

CHAPTER 4

MODULES

The application comprises the following major modules:

4.1 JOB SEEKER MODULE

This module provides functionalities for job seekers. Applicants can post their

resumes with personal and professional details. They can also update the resume as

frequently as required. The applicant can also browse through the present vacancies

available. Job seekers can also get mail alerts when their resumes are selected by

employers.

4.2 EMPLOYER MODULE

This module provides functionalities related to employers. Employers can post

vacancy details and update the details as and when necessary. Employers can search

through applicant resumes based on different criteria.

4.3 ADMINISTRATION MODULE

This module provides administrator related functionalities. Administrator manages

entire application and maintains the profiles of applicants and employers.

4.4 PUBLIC MODULE

This module is creating for public view. In this module public can view jobs and

upcoming jobs. Public can register for apply jobs and get latest jobs on their Email-

ID.

4.5 APTITUDE TEST (DEMO) MODULE

This module is creating for provide aptitude test demo to job seeker. In this test 15

questions which have four choice and in this also generate result of aptitude test.

CHAPTER 5

METHODOLOGY OF THE PROJECT

5.1 PROCESS MODEL

Process modeling aims to graphically represent the processes which capture,

manipulate, store and distribute data.

Data flow diagrams

Structured English

Decision tables and decision trees

5.1.1 Data Flow Diagrams

Data flow diagrams model the flow of data into, through, and out of an information

system:

show the processes that change or transform data

show the movement of data between processes

represent a system as a network of processes which transform data flowing

between them

DFD Symbols:

In the DFD, there are four symbols :

1. A square defines a source(originator) or destination of system data

2. An arrow identifies data flow. It is the pipeline through which the information

flows

3. A circle or a bubble represents a process that transforms incoming data flow into

outgoing data flows.

4. An open rectangle is a data store, data at rest or a temporary repository of data

Process that transforms data flow.

Source or Destination of data

LEVEL 0:

level zero data flow diagram is the diagram at the level immediately below

the context diagram.

It "expands" the single process on the context diagram to show the major,

high-level processes (or functions) within the system

Fig 5.1:- Level 0 DFD

LEVEL 1 :

Fig 5.2:- Level 1 DFD


30

5.2 CONTEXT DIAGRAM

The highest level data flow diagram is the context diagram.

The context diagram shows the interaction of the system with its environment in

terms of data flow

The context diagram defines the boundary of the system (the scope of the system)

Only the data flows which leave the system and the data flows which come from

outside the system are shown.

5.3 DATA MODEL

5.3.1 Introduction to Data Modeling

Data modeling is the formalization and documentation of existing processes and

events that occur during application software design and development. Data

modeling techniques and tools capture and translate complex system designs into

easily understood representations of the data flows and processes, creating a

blueprint for construction and/or re-engineering.

A data model can be thought of as a diagram or flowchart that illustrates the

relationships between data. Although capturing all the possible relationships in a

data model can be very time-intensive, it's an important step and shouldn't be

rushed. Well-documented models allow stake-holders to identify errors and make

changes before any programming code has been written.

5.3.2 Entity-relationship diagram

An entity-relationship diagram is a data modelling technique that creates a

graphical representation of the entities, and the relationships between entities,

within an information system.

The three main components of an ERD are:

The entity is a person, object, place or event for which data is collected.

The entity is represented by a rectangle and labelled with a singular noun.

The relationship is the interaction between the entities.. A relationship

may be represented by a diamond shape, or more simply, by the line

connecting the entities.

The cardinality defines the relationship between the entities in terms of

numbers.

The three main cardinal relationships are:

One-to-one

Expressed as 1:1;

One-to-many

Expressed as 1: M;

Many-to-many

Expressed as M: N.

6. Create Resume

Agents

Employers and Recruiters have the ability to

create multiple Resume Agents. When the

Employer searches for the resumes by a keyword,


37

the segregation of resumes that match their

keywords is performed by these agents. For

Example, Employer searches for resumes relates

to Java with an experience of more than 2 years,

first Resume Agent will collect resumes of Java

and second of Java but with experience of more

than 2 years.

7. Generates

Information on Time

Left

As soon as the job is posted to the website,

employer knows the time limit for which job is

posted to the site. He thus posts the information

on how much time left on each job posting. The

System thus displays time left with each job

posted.

8. Information on

number of vacancy

viewings

The Employer when sees different applications,

an options is to view number of vacancies viewed

is available with the employer. As employer

clicks on it he is authorised to see the number of

vacancy viewings and applications by him.

9. Search, View or

Download Resume

Employers can Search Resumes for a particular

throughout the site

The admin can change the content of the

dropdown lists and list boxes anywhere in

the website. This can be done either to apply

restrictions on few contents or to make the

website free from unwanted and less

important contents.

CHAPTER 7

SOFTWARE TESTING

Software testing is a critical element of software quality assurance and represents the

ultimate review of specification, design and coding. The purpose of product testing is

to verify and validate the various work product viz. units, integrated unit, and final

product to ensure that they meet their respective requirements.

7.1 TESTING OBJECTIVES

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

A good test case is one that has a high probability of finding an as-yet

undiscovered erro

A successful test is one that uncovers an as-yet undiscovered error.

Live data is the actual data to be used in the proposed system.

Test data is previously designed sample input to achieve predictable results.

7.2 TESTING TECHNIQUES

Once source code is generated, software must be tested to find (or correct) as many

errors as possible before delivery to customer. The goal is to design a series of test

cases that have a high likelihood of finding errors. The Software Testing Techniques

provide systematic guidance for designing tests that exercise the internal logic of

software components, and exercise the input and output domains of the program to

uncover errors in program function, behavior and performance.

Reviews and other Software Quality Assurance activities can and do uncover errors,

but they are not sufficient. Every time the program is executed, the customer tests it.

Therefore, we have to execute the program before it gets to the customer with the

specific intent of finding and removing all errors. In order to find the highest possible

number of errors, tests must be conducted systematically and test cases must be

designed using disciplined techniques.

7.3 TESTING STRATEGIES

A strategy for software testing integrates software test case design methods into a

well-planned series of steps that result in the successful construction of software. The

strategy provides a road map that describes the steps to be conducted as part of

testing, when these steps are planned and then undertaken, and how much effort, time


42

and resources will be required. Therefore, any testing strategy much incorporates test

planning, test case design, test execution, and resultant data collection and evaluation.

7.4 SYSTEM TESTING

The importance of software testing and its implications with respect to software

quality cannot be overemphasized. Software testing is a critical element of software

quality assurance and represents the ultimate review of specification, design and code

generation. Once source code has been generated software must be tested to uncover

(and correct) as many errors as possible before implementation. Every time the

program is executed, it is tested.

For the testing of the project, we have followed the following two major testing

methods:

White box testing

Black box testing

White box Testing: tests will focus on program control structure. Test cases will

be derived to ensure that all statements in the coding of pages have been executed

at least once during testing and that all logical conditions have been exercised.

Black box Testing: will be designed to validate functional requirement without

regard to the internal workings of the project. Black box testing techniques will

focus on the information domain of the project, deriving test cases by partitioning

the input and output domain of the project in a manner that provides thorough test

coverage. Although testing is done after the designing, but testing has also been

done simultaneously along with designing and coding.

7.5 SOFTWARE MAINTENANCE

Software maintenance in software engineering is the modification of a software

product after delivery to correct faults, to improve performance or other attributes.

The key software maintenance issues are both managerial and technical. Key

management issues are: alignment with customer priorities, staffing, which

organization does maintenance, estimating costs. Key technical issues are: limited

understanding, impact analysis, testing, and maintainability measurement. After the
