 CHAPTER 2: CONCEPTS USED

2.1 JAVA

Java is a high-level, class-based, object-oriented programming language that is designed

to have as few implementation dependencies as possible. It is a general-purpose
programming language intended to let application developers write once, run anywhere
(WORA),[16] meaning that compiled Java code can run on all platforms that support Java
without the need for recompilation.[17] Java applications are typically compiled to
bytecode that can run on any Java virtual machine (JVM) regardless of the underlying
computer architecture.

The syntax of Java is similar to C and C++, but has fewer low-level facilities than either
of them. The Java runtime provides dynamic capabilities (such as reflection and runtime
code modification) that are typically not available in traditional compiled languages. As
of 2019, Java was one of the most languages in use according to GitHub, particularly
for client-server web applications, with a reported 9 million developers.

Java was originally developed by James Gosling at Sun Microsystems (which has since
been acquired by Oracle) and released in 1995 as a core component of Sun
Microsystems' Java platform. The original and reference implementation Java compilers,
virtual machines, and class libraries were originally released by Sun under proprietary
licenses.

As of May 2007, in compliance with the specifications of the Java Community Process,
Sun had relicensed most of its Java technologies under the GNU General Public License.
Oracle offers its own Hotspot Java Virtual Machine, however the official reference
implementation is the OpenJDK JVM which is free open source software and used by
most developers and is the default JVM for almost all Linux distributions.

As of March 2021, the latest version is Java 16, with Java 11, a currently supported long-
term support (LTS) version, released on September 25, 2018. Oracle released the last
zero- cost public update for the legacy version Java 8 LTS in January 2019 for
commercial use, although it will otherwise still support Java 8 with public updates for
personal use indefinitely. Other vendors have begun to offer zero-cost builds of
OpenJDK 8 and 11 that are still receiving security and other upgrades.

4
 Oracle (and others) highly recommend uninstalling outdated versions of Java because of
serious risks due to unresolved security issues. [21] Since Java 9, 10, 12, 13, 14, and 15 are
no longer supported, Oracle advises its users to immediately transition to the latest
version (currently Java 16) or an LTS release.

According to Sun, 3 billion devices run Java. There are many devices where Java is
currently used. Some of them are as follows:

1. Desktop Applications such as Acrobat Reader, media player, antivirus, etc.

2. Web Applications such as irctc.co.in, javatpoint.com, etc.
3. Enterprise Applications such as banking applications.
4. Mobile
5. Embedded System
6. Smart Card
7. Robotics
8. Games, etc.

Types of
Java Applications
There are mainly 4 types of applications that can be created using Java programming:

1) Standalone
Application
Standalone applications are also known as desktop applications or window-based
applications. These are traditional software that we need to install on every machine.
Examples of standalone application are Media player, antivirus, etc. AWT and Swing are
used in Java for creating standalone applications.

2) Web Application
An application that runs on the server side and creates a dynamic page is called a web
application. Currently, Servlet, JSP, Struts, Spring, Hibernate, JSF, etc. technologies are
used for creating web applications in Java.

5
 3) Enterprise
Application
An application that is distributed in nature, such as banking applications, etc. is called
enterprise application. It has advantages of the high-level security, load balancing, and
clustering. In Java, EJB is used for creating enterprise applications.
4) Mobile
Application

An application which is created for mobile devices is called a mobile application.

Currently, Android and Java ME are used for creating mobile applications.
Java Platforms /
Editions
There are 4 platforms or editions of Java:

1) Java SE (Java Standard Edition)

It is a Java programming platform. It includes Java programming APIs such as java.lang,

java.io, java.net, java.util, java.sql, java.math etc. It includes core topics like OOPs,
String, Regex, Exception, Inner classes, Multithreading, I/O Stream, Networking, AWT,
Swing, Reflection, Collection, etc.

2) Java EE (Java Enterprise Edition)

It is an enterprise platform which is mainly used to develop web and enterprise

applications. It is built on the top of the Java SE platform. It includes topics like Servlet,
JSP, Web Services, EJB, JPA, etc.

3) Java ME (Java Micro Edition)

It is a micro platform which is mainly used to develop mobile
applications.
4) JavaFX

It is used to develop rich internet applications. It uses a light-weight user interface API.

6
2.2 Java J2EE fundamentals
The Enterprise Java BluePrints for the J2EE platform describe the J2EE application
model and best practices for using the J2EE platform. Building on the J2SE
platform, the J2EE application model provides a simplified approach to developing
highly scalable and highly available internet or intranet based applications.

Figure 2.1 J2EE

Thanks to the J2EE application model, maybe the most interesting thing about J2EE
applications is what they don't do. That is, various complexities inherent in
enterprise applications -- transaction management, life-cycle management,
resource pooling -- are built into the platform and provided automatically to the
components it supports. Component and application developers are free to focus
on specifics such as business logic and user interfaces.

Another advantage of the J2EE platform is that the application model encapsulates
the layers of functionality in specific types of components. Business logic is
encapsulated in Enterprise JavaBeans (EJB) components. Client interaction can be
presented through plain

7
HTML web pages, through web pages powered by applets, Java Servlets, or
JavaServer Pages technology, or through stand-alone Java applications.
Components communicate transparently using various standards: HTML, XML,
HTTP, SSL, RMI, IIOP, and others.

Reusable J2EE components mean competitive choices for enterprise developers

and IT organizations. The J2EE platform enables them to assemble applications
from a combination of standard, commercially available components and their own
custom components. From general business application components to vertical
market solutions, a range of standardized J2EE functionality is available off the
shelf.

This means that an e-commerce site could be built using a combination of off-the-
shelf EJB components for shopping cart behaviors, modified EJB components for
specialized customer services, and completely customized layouts using JavaServer
Pages technology that bring a unique look and feel to the site.

This approach means faster development time, better quality, maintainability and
portability, and Web services interoperability across a range of enterprise
platforms. The bottom line benefits are increased programmer productivity, better
strategic use of computing resources, and greater return on an organization's
technology investments.

Containers and Connectors: Hiding Complexity, Enhancing Portability

The J2EE application model divides enterprise applications into three fundamental
parts: components, containers, and connectors. Components are the key focus of
application developers, while system vendors implement containers and
connectors to conceal complexity and promote portability.

Containers intercede between clients and components, providing services

transparently to both, including transaction support and resource pooling.
Container mediation allows many component behaviors to be specified at
deployment time, rather than in program code.

8
Connectors sit beneath the J2EE platform, defining a portable service API that
communicates with existing enterprise vendor offerings. Connectors promote
flexibility by enabling a variety of implementations of specific services. In
particular, connectors implementing pluggable messaging contracts enable
bidirectional communication between J2EE components and enterprise systems.

Flexible User Interaction

The J2EE platform provides choices for graphical user interfaces across a company's
intranet or on the World Wide Web. Clients can run on desktops, laptops, PDAs,
cell phones, and other devices. Pure client-side user interfaces can use standard
HTML and
Java applets. Support for simple HTML means

quicker prototypes, and support for a broader range of clients. Additionally, the
J2EE platform supports automatic download of the Java Plug-in to add applet
support where it's lacking. The J2EE platform also supports stand-alone Java
application clients.

For server-side generation of dynamic content, the J2EE platform supports two
types of web component technologies: Java Servlets and JavaServer Pages (JSP).
Java Servlets enable developers to easily implement server-side behaviors that take
full advantage of the power of the rich Java API. JavaServer Pages technology
combines the ubiquity of HTML with the power of server-side dynamic content
generation. The JSP 2.0 specification supports static templates, simplified access to
Java objects, and easy extensibility.

The Java 2 Platform, Enterprise Edition version 1.4 is the most complete Web
services platform ever. The platform features Web services support through the
new JAX-RPC
1.1 API, which provides service endpoints based on servlets and enterprise beans.
JAX-RPC
1.1 provides interoperability with Web services based on the WSDL and SOAP
protocols. The J2EE 1.4 platform also supports the Web Services for J2EE

9
specification, which defines deployment requirements for Web services and utilizes
the JAX-RPC programming model. In addition to numerous Web services APIs, the
J2EE 1.4 platform also features support for the WS-I Basic Profile 1.0. This means
that in addition to platform independence and complete Web services support, the
J2EE
1.4 platform offers platform Web services interoperability.

Expediting Development and Deployment

Based on these flexible component configurations, the J2EE application model

means quicker development, easier customization and greater ability to deploy
powerful enterprise applications. And, because it's based on the Java programming
language, this model enables all J2EE applications to achieve all the benefits of Java
technology: scalability, portability, and programming ease.

2.2.1.1

Servlet

Servlet technology is used to create a web application (resides at server side and
generates a dynamic web page).

Servlet technology is robust and scalable because of java language. Before Servlet, CGI
(Common Gateway Interface) scripting language was common as a server-side
programming language. However, there were many disadvantages to this technology. We
have discussed these disadvantages below.

There are many interfaces and classes in the Servlet API such as Servlet, GenericServlet,
HttpServlet, ServletRequest, ServletResponse, etc.

Life Cycle of a Servlet (Servlet Life Cycle)

1. Life Cycle of a Servlet
1. Servlet class is loaded
2. Servlet instance is created
3. init method is invoked
4. service method is invoked

10
5. destroy method is invoked

Figure 2.2 Servlet life cycle

As displayed in the above diagram, there are three states of a servlet: new, ready and end.
The servlet is in new state if servlet instance is created. After invoking the init() method,
Servlet comes in the ready state. In the ready state, servlet performs all the tasks. When
the web container invokes the destroy() method, it shifts to the end state.

1) Servlet class is
loaded
The classloader is responsible to load the servlet class. The servlet class is loaded when
the first request for the servlet is received by the web container.

2) Servlet instance is created

11
 The web container creates the instance of a servlet after loading the servlet class. The
servlet instance is created only once in the servlet life cycle.
3) init method is invoked
The web container calls the init method only once after creating the servlet instance. The init
method i is the life cycle method of the javax.servlet.Servlet interface. Syntax of the init method
is given below:

1. public void init(ServletConfig config) throws ServletException

4) service method
The web container calls the service method each time when request for the servlet is
received. If servlet is not initialized, it follows the first three steps as described above
then calls the service method. If servlet is initialized, it calls the service method. Notice
that servlet is initialized only once. The syntax of the service method of the Servlet
interface is given below:

public void service(ServletRequest request,ServletResponse response) throws

ServletException
, IOException

5) The destroy method

The web container calls the destroy method before removing the servlet instance from the
service. It gives the servlet an opportunity to clean up any resource for example memory,
thread etc. The syntax of the destroy method of the Servlet interface is given below:
public void destroy() .

2.2.1.2 Java Server Pages

JSP technology is used to create web application just like Servlet technology. It can be
thought of as an extension to Servlet because it provides more functionality than servlet
such as expression language, JSTL, etc.

A JSP page consists of HTML tags and JSP tags. The JSP pages are easier to maintain
than Servlet because we can separate designing and development. It provides some
additional features such as Expression Language, Custom Tags, etc.

12
Advantages of JSP over
Servlet
There are many advantages of JSP over the Servlet. They are as follows:
Extension to Servlet
JSP technology is the extension to Servlet technology. We can use all the features of the
Servlet in JSP. In addition to, we can use implicit objects, predefined tags, expression
language and Custom tags in JSP, that makes JSP development easy.
Easy to maintain
JSP can be easily managed because we can easily separate our business logic with
presentation logic. In Servlet technology, we mix our business logic with the presentation
logic.
Fast Development: No need to recompile and redeploy

If JSP page is modified, we don't need to recompile and redeploy the project. The Servlet
code needs to be updated and recompiled if we have to change the look and feel of the
application.
Less code than Servlet
In JSP, we can use many tags such as action tags, JSTL, custom tags, etc. that reduces the
code.
Moreover, we can use EL, implicit objects, etc.

13
Figure 2.3 JSP life Cycle
As depicted in the above diagram, JSP page is translated into Servlet by the help of JSP
translator. The JSP translator is a part of the web server which is responsible for
translating the JSP page into Servlet. After that, Servlet page is compiled by the compiler
and gets converted into the class file. Moreover, all the processes that happen in Servlet
are performed on JSP later like initialization, committing response to the browser and
destroy.

2.2.1.2 Hibernate

Hibernate is a Java framework that simplifies the development of Java application to

interact with the database. It is an open source, lightweight, ORM (Object Relational
Mapping) tool.
Hibernate implements the specifications of JPA (Java Persistence API) for data persistence.

14
 • ORM Tool
An ORM tool simplifies the data creation, data manipulation and data access. It is
a programming technique that maps the object to the data stored in the database.

Figure 2.4 Hibernate ORM

The ORM tool internally uses the JDBC API to interact with the database.

• JPA

Java Persistence API (JPA) is a Java specification that provides certain functionality and standard to ORM
tools. The javax.persistence package contains the JPA classes and interfaces.

Advantages of Hibernate Framework

Following are the advantages of hibernate framework:

SQL CREATE TABLE

1) Open Source and

Lightweight
Hibernate framework is open source under the LGPL license and lightweight.

2) Fast Performance
The performance of hibernate framework is fast because cache is internally used in
hibernate framework. There are two types of cache in hibernate framework first level
cache and second level cache. First level cache is enabled by default.

15
 3) Database Independent
Query
HQL (Hibernate Query Language) is the object-oriented version of SQL. It generates the
database independent queries. So you don't need to write database specific queries.
Before Hibernate, if database is changed for the project, we need to change the SQL
query as well that leads to the maintenance problem.

4) Automatic Table
Creation
Hibernate framework provides the facility to create the tables of the database
automatically. So there is no need to create tables in the database manually.

1. Simplifies
Complex Join
Fetching data from multiple tables is easy in hibernate framework.

5) Provides Query
Statistics and Database Status
Hibernate supports Query cache and provide statistics about query and database status.

2.3 MySQL

MySQL, the most popular Open Source SQL database management system, is
developed, distributed, and supported by Oracle Corporation.

• MySQL is a database management system.

A database is a structured collection of data. It may be anything from a simple shopping

list to a picture gallery or the vast amounts of information in a corporate network. To
add, access, and process data stored in a computer database, you need a database
management system such as MySQL Server. Since computers are very good at handling
large amounts of data, database management systems play a central role in computing, as
standalone utilities, or as parts of other applications.

• MySQL databases are relational.

A relational database stores data in separate tables rather than putting all the data in one
big storeroom. The database structures are organized into physical files optimized for
speed. The logical model, with objects such as databases, tables, views, rows, and
columns, offers a flexible programming environment. You set up rules governing the
relationships

16
between different data fields, such as one-to-one, one-to-many, unique, required or
optional, and
“pointers” between different tables. The database enforces these rules, so that with a
well- designed database, your application never sees inconsistent, duplicate, orphan, out-
of-date, or missing data.

The SQL part of “MySQL” stands for “Structured Query Language”. SQL is the most
common standardized language used to access databases. Depending on your
programming environment, you might enter SQL directly (for example, to generate
reports), embed SQL statements into code written in another language, or use a language-
specific API that hides the SQL syntax.

SQL is defined by the ANSI/ISO SQL Standard. The SQL standard has been evolving
since 1986 and several versions exist. In this manual, “SQL-92” refers to the standard
released in 1992, “SQL:1999” refers to the standard released in 1999, and “SQL:2003”
refers to the current version of the standard. We use the phrase “the SQL standard” to
mean the current version of the SQL Standard at any time.

• MySQL software is Open Source.

Open Source means that it is possible for anyone to use and modify the software.
Anybody can download the MySQL software from the Internet and use it without paying
anything. If you wish, you may study the source code and change it to suit your needs.
The MySQL software uses the GPL (GNU General Public License),
http://www.fsf.org/licenses/, to define what you may and may not do with the software in
different situations. If you feel uncomfortable with the GPL or need to embed MySQL
code into a commercial application, you can buy a commercially licensed version from
us. See the MySQL Licensing Overview for more
information (http://www.mysql.com/company/legal/licensing/).

 CHAPTER 3: SYSTEM DESIGN
Designing a system for a smart contact manager involves multiple components and
considerations, including the database design, user interface, backend logic, and
integration capabilities. Below is a high-level system design for a smart contact manager.

Logical design reviews the present physical system; prepares input and output
specification; make editing; security and control specification; details the implementation
plan, and prepare logical design walk through. The physical design maps out the details
of the physical system; plans the system implementation plan and specifies hardware and
software. System design translates the system requirement into the ways of the system as
recommended in the feasibility study. Thus the system design is the translation from
user- oriented document to a programmer or a database personal oriented document.
System design is a highly creative process that can be greatly facilitated by the
following:-

• Strong Problem Definition

• Pictorial description of the Existing System
• Set of Requirements of the new system

Modules Description:

1. Registration: Customer can register their account here to continue shopping.

2. Admin: Admin can add products, admins, categories for products check orders
and make sure
the orders are delivered on time and can confirm payments by the customers.
3. Shopping Cart: Customers after login can browse through the different products
and choose one or more products and can add them to cart.
4. Payment: Cash on Delivery or Paypal facility is available.

• INPUT DESIGN
Very careful attention had to be given to input design, which is a major part of the overall
system design. In order to make the data entry as easy, logical and error free as possible,
specific standards had been followed. Validation checks, provided in the system
prevented the user in entering incorrect, erroneous data. This made sure that, only valid
data had been available for data processing. If valid data was entered, then meaningful
error messages
18
had been prompted to enter correct data. The interactive screen formats facilitate the
entry of validation

• VALIDATIONS:
Some fields are having only number, as an I/P. For this key ASCII is checked. If
they entered characters, it would display the message to enter number only. Exchange
rates field will be validated for number and dot symbols.

• INPUT DESIGN OBJECTIVES:

The numbers of clear objectives of input design are,

 To produce a cost effective method of input

 To achieve the highest possible level of accuracy
 To ensure that the input is acceptable to and understand by the user staff.

• OUTPUT DESIGN:
Output, as you probably know, generally refers to the results and information that are
generated by the system. For many end-users, output is the main reason for developing
the system and the basis on which they will evaluate the usefulness of the application.
Most end users will not actually operate the information system or enter data through
workstations, but they will use the output from the system. When designing output,
systems analysts must accomplish the following.

 Determine what information to present

 Decide whether to display, print, or “speak” the information and select the output
medium.
 Arrange the presentation of information in an acceptable format.
 Decide how to distribute the output to intended recipients. That alignment of
information on a display or printed document is termed as layout.

Accomplishing the general activities listed above will require specific decisions, such as
whether to use preprinted forms when preparing reports and documents, how many lines
to plan on a printed page, or whether to use graphics and color.

The output design is specified on layout performs, sheets that describe the
location characteristics, and format of the column headings and pagination. As we
indicated at the

19
beginning of this discussion, these elements are analogous to an architect’s blue print that
shows the location of the each component.

3.1 Data Flow Diagram

DataFlows
DFDs show the flow of data from external entities into the system, showed how the data moved from
one process to another, as well as its logical storage. There are only four symbols:

 Squares representing external entities, which are sources or destinations of data.

 Rounded rectangles representing processes, which take data as input, do something to
it, and output it.
 Arrows representing the data flows, which can either, be electronic data or
physical items.
 Open-ended rectangles representing data stores, including electronic stores such as
databases or XML files and physical stores such as or filing cabinets or stacks of
paper.

There are several common modeling rules for creating DFDs:

 All processes must have at least one data flow in and one data flow out.
 All processes should modify the incoming data, producing new forms of outgoing data.
 Each data store must be involved with at least one data flow.
 Each external entity must be involved with at least one data flow.

 A data flow must be attached to at least one process.

DFDs are nothing more than a network of related system functions and indicate from
where information is received and to where it is sent. It is the starting point in the system
that decomposes the requirement specifications down to the lowest level detail.

The four symbols in DFD, each of which has its meaning. They are given below:

 External entities are outside to system but they either supply input data in the
system or use the system output. These are represented by square of rectangle.
External entities that supply data into a system are sometimes called Sources.
External entities that use system data are sometimes called sinks.

20
  Dataflow models that passages of data in the system and are represented by line by
joining system components. An arrow indicates the direction of the flow and the line
is labeled by the name of the dataflow.
 Process show that the systems do. Each process has one or more data inputs and one
or data outputs. Circles in DFD represent them. Each high level process may be
consisting of more than one lower level processes. Process will be expanded in
sequent level DFD. A circle or a bubble represents a process that transforms
incoming data flow into outgoing
dataflow. The high level processes in a
system are:

 Receivable process.
 Verifiable process.
 Disposal process.

File or data store is a repository of data. They contain data that is retained in the system.
Process can enter data into data store or retrieved data from the data store. An open
rectangle is a data store, data at rest

 CHAPTER 5: TESTING (MODULES)

Testing plays a critical role for quality assurance and for ensuring the reliability of the
software.It's also about ensuring that the software meets its intended objectives and satisfies user
requirements. Each phase of testing, from unit testing to system testing, plays a crucial role in
verifying the correctness, reliability, and usability of the software product.

During the testing phase, various techniques and methodologies are employed to validate the
software's functionality, performance, security, and compatibility. Testers meticulously prepare
test data, scenarios, and scripts to simulate real-world usage and uncover potential issues.

Furthermore, testing is not a one-time activity but a continuous process throughout the software
development lifecycle. As the software evolves, so do the testing strategies, with regression
testing ensuring that new features or fixes do not introduce regressions in existing
functionalities.

Moreover, effective testing goes beyond just detecting errors; it involves analyzing root causes,
prioritizing issues, and collaborating with developers to implement robust solutions. Test results
and feedback are documented for future reference and improvement, contributing to the overall
quality assurance process.

Ultimately, the goal of testing is not only to identify defects but also to enhance the overall
quality, reliability, and user satisfaction of the software product. By uncovering requirements,
design, and coding errors early in the development process, testing helps mitigate risks and
ensure the successful implementation of the software.

Unit Testing:

Unit testing serves as a critical validation step during the development process, ensuring that
individual modules or components of the software perform as expected in isolation before
integration. This phase not only verifies the correctness of the code but also validates its
behavior against expected outcomes.

Following the coding phase, unit testing begins by examining each standalone module
independently. Test cases are designed to cover various scenarios, including normal inputs,

31
boundary conditions, and error handling paths. By testing each module with sample data,
developers can identify and rectify any discrepancies or defects early in the development cycle.

Unit test plans, created during the design phase, serve as a roadmap for testing critical control
paths within the modules. These plans outline specific test cases aimed at uncovering errors
within the boundaries of individual units. Through rigorous testing, developers ensure that all
statements within the module are executed at least once, covering all possible code paths and
ensuring robust error handling.

Moreover, unit testing is not a one-time activity but an ongoing process integrated into the
programming phase itself. Developers iteratively refine and expand their test suites as they
implement new features or refactor existing code. Continuous integration practices further
streamline the unit testing process, allowing developers to automate tests and detect issues early
in the development pipeline.

At the conclusion of the unit testing phase, each module is thoroughly vetted and validated,
demonstrating its reliability and functionality in diverse scenarios. By conducting
comprehensive unit testing, developers lay a solid foundation for successful integration and
overall system stability.

Integration Testing:

Integration testing serves as a crucial step in the testing process, where the focus shifts from
individual modules to the interaction and integration of these modules within the larger software
system. This phase aims to detect and rectify any errors or issues that may arise due to
interfacing between modules, ensuring that the integrated system functions seamlessly as a
whole.

As modules are unit tested independently, integration testing becomes necessary to validate the
behavior of the system when these modules are combined. Despite passing unit tests, modules
may exhibit unexpected behavior when integrated due to factors such as data loss across
interfaces, unintended side effects on other modules, or discrepancies in global data structures.

During integration testing, all individual modules are integrated and tested together to simulate
real-world interactions and user scenarios. This includes simulating user activities such as data
loading, information retrieval, and theme application based on database records. By examining
the system's behavior in a holistic manner, integration testing provides valuable insights into its
performance and usability from the end user's perspective.

32
The primary objective of integration testing is to establish a final program structure by
seamlessly integrating unit-tested modules. This involves ensuring that all modules are
interconnected correctly and that interfaces between modules function as intended. Through
rigorous testing and validation, integration testing verifies that the integrated system meets the
specified requirements and functions reliably in diverse usage scenarios.

Furthermore, integration testing validates not only the functional aspects but also non-functional
aspects such as performance, scalability, and reliability of the integrated system. By thoroughly
testing all interfaces and interactions between modules, integration testing helps mitigate risks
and ensures the overall quality and stability of the software product.

In conclusion, integration testing plays a pivotal role in validating the interoperability and
cohesion of software modules within the larger system, ultimately ensuring a seamless and
reliable user experience.
