INTRODUCTION TO COMPANY

Hewlett-Packard Companyor HP(styled as hp) is an Americanmultinationalinformation

technology corporation headquartered inPalo Alto,California,United States.It provides hardware,

software and services to consumers, small- and medium-sized businesses (SMBs) and large

enterprises, including customers in the government, health and education sectors.

The company was founded in aone-car garage in Palo Alto byWilliam "Bill" Redington

Hewlett andDavid "Dave" Packard, starting with a line of electronic test equipment. HP is the

world's leading PC manufacturer and has been since 2007, fending off a challenge by Chinese

manufacturerLenovo, according to Gartner.[2]It specializes in developing and manufacturing

computing, data storage, and networking hardware, designing software and delivering services.

Major product lines include personal computing devices, enterprise and industry standard servers,

related storage devices, networking products, software and a diverse range of printers and other

imaging products. HP markets its products to households, small- to medium-sized businesses and

enterprises directly as well as via online distribution, consumer-electronics and office-supply

retailers, software partners and major technology vendors. HP also has services and consulting

business around its products and partner products. In 2013 it was theworld's second-largest PC

vendorby unit sales.[3]

HP's global operations are directed from its headquarters inPalo Alto, California,USA. Its U.S.

operations are directed from its facility Harris County, Texas, nearHouston. Its Latin America

INTRODUCTION OF PROJECT

The project Expert Support System is aimed at enabling users of the Web based application to

submit queries or complaints in the form of tickets at their portal and are able to get a response

from the administrator or the concerned representative .The project has been developed in Java 2

Enterprise Edition (J2EE) using Hibernate framework in the front end and MySQL Database as the

backend. Due to the use of Hibernate framework the project is completely independent of the

backend used and the backend can be changed at any time without any changes in the applications.

Expert Support System enables the users to have the typical Query and complaint processing

facilities and features at their disposal. It resolves typical issues of manual complaint redressal and

activities into a controlled and closely monitored work flow in the architecture of the application.

This multi-platform solution brings in by default, the basic intelligence and immense possibilities

for further extension of the application as required by the user. The system makes it friendly to

distribute, share and manage the problems and queries with higher efficiency and easiness. The

objective of these websites is to serve as a common meeting ground for complainant and

representatives, both locally and globally, where the complainant find the solution to theircomplaints and queries. These sites are specifically designed for those who seek the most

demanding and challenging positions in their chosen field, with the most dynamic representatives.

This project enables the users to get replies as soon as possible. The administrator can view all the

tickets submitted by all the users and can delete the tickets that have been marked solved. This way

only the administrator has the right to delete any query and cannot delete a query until has been

closed by the complainant himself.

METHODOLOGY

We have developed this website after duly spending time on each website development phase

individually and freezing the status before we move on to the next phase.

1.In the analysis phase, we have attempted to understand the system completely in terms of its

objectives & the problems faced. All the objectives were further subdivided into a set of smaller

objectives which in turn were subdivided in to the set of actions. The analysis also gave us an

overview about the individual expectations from each function and the challenges faced by that

function due to which the ultimate objective is not achieved.

2.Before we moved to the designing phase, the objectives & challenges were clearly understood

and we actually converted the set of objectives & actions into modules.

8/10/2019 Project Report on Expert Support System

7/72

The modules were designed in terms of their input, output, flow of information, storage of

information & communication amongst each other, with the user and with the system. All the data

objects were carefully designed and classified in terms of their inputs & outputs.

3. After the analysis & design phases were over, we moved on to coding phase, where the

implementation of tasks or functions on-paper were actualized. This was the phase where we

actually became the use to have the look & feel of the application, where we actually thought

from the users perspective & representatives perspective keeping all the objectives & challenges

into consideration.

4. Then came the testing phase in which after developing the complete system, we rigorously

tested it using all the testing types and checked every characteristic / attribute of the application of

whether it coincides and is in line with the objectives and users comfort.

SYSTEM ANALYSIS

DEFINITION

System Analysis is the detailed study of the various operations performed by the system

and their relationships within and outside the system. Analysis is the process of breaking

something into its parts so that the whole may be understood. System analysis is concerned with

becoming aware of the problem, identifying the relevant and most decisional variables, analyzing

and synthesizing the various factors and determining an optional or at least a satisfactory solution.

During this a problem is identified, alternate system solutions are studied and recommendations

are made about committing the resources used to the system.

DESCRIPTION OF PRESENT SYSTEM

Presently complaint redressal is done manually. That is if a company or organization needs

to reply the user they make a phone call or send a letter through post. People who are eligible send

application to the organization or company. From these applications they are called for interviews

or tests. After tests company has to do short listing manually. From these shortlisted candidates,

they are called for interviews. After interview short listed candidates are employed.

So its all a time consuming procedure.

8/10/2019 Project Report on Expert Support System

8/72

LIMITATIONS OF PRESENT SYSTEM

Complaint Redressal is done manually. These tasks are time consuming. It may take one

month or long. People around the world cannot apply. Online Placement system very convenient

because in the manual system there are lot of difficulties in conducting and managing a recruitment

exam, short listing, maintaining staff etc.

PROPOSED SYSTEM

Online Complaint redressal is aimed at developing a web-based and central complaint

processing system for the user and representatives of a company. Some features of this system will

be creating complaints, storing application data, and query process initiation, Scheduling checks,Storing query results for the user and finally completing the complainants work. This project is

an online website in which complainants can register themselves and then attend the query and get

replies.

SYSTEM DESIGN

INTRODUCTION

The most creative and challenging face of the system development is System Design. It provides

the understanding and procedural details necessary for the logical and physical stages of

development. In designing a new system, the system analyst must have a clear understanding of

the objectives, which the design is aiming to fulfill. The first step is to determine how the output is

to be produced and in what format. Second, input data and master files have to be designed to meet

the requirements of the proposed output. The operational phases are handled through program

construction and testing.

Design of the system can be defined as a process of applying various techniques and principles for

the purpose of defining a device, a process or a system in sufficient detail to permit its physical

realization. Thus system design is a solution to how to approach to the creation of a new system.

This important phase provides the understanding and the procedural details necessary for

implementing the system recommended in the feasibility study. The design step provides a data

design, architectural design, and a procedural design.

8/10/2019 Project Report on Expert Support System

9/72

4.1 OUTPUT DESIGN

In the output design, the emphasis is on producing a hard copy of the information requested

or displaying the output on the screen in a predetermined format. Two of the most output media

today are printers and the screen. Most users now access their reports from either a hard copy or

screen display. Computers output is the most important and direct source of information to the

user, efficient, logical, output design should improve the systems relations with the user and help

in decision-making.

As the outputs are the most important source of information to the user, better design

should improve the systems relations and also should help in decision-making. The output devices

capability, print quality, response time requirements etc should also be considered, form design

elaborates the way the output is presented and layout available for capturing information.

Its very helpful to produce the clear, accurate and speedy information for end users.

4.2 INPUT DESIGN

In the input design, user-originated inputs are converted into a computer-based system

format. It also includes determining the record media, method of input, speed of capture and entry

on to the screen. Online data entry accepts commands and data through a keyboard. The major

approach to input design is the menu and the prompt design. In each alternative, the users options

are predefined. The data flow diagram indicates logical data flow, data stores, source anddestination. Input data are collected and organized into a group of similar data once identified

input media are selected for processing.

In this software, importance is given to develop Graphical User Interface (GUI), which

is an important factor in developing efficient and user friendly software. For inputting user data,

attractive forms are designed. User can also select the desired options from the menu, which

provides all possible facilities. Also the important input format is designed in such a way that

accidental errors are avoided. The user has to input only just the minimum data required, which

also helps in avoiding the errors that the users may make. Accurate designing of the input format is

very important in developing efficient software. The goal of input design is to make entry as easy,

logical and free from errors.

DATA FLOW DIAGRAM

A Data Flow Diagram (DFD) is a diagram that describes the flow of data and the processes that

change or transform data throughout a system. Its a structured analysis and design tool that can be

used for flowcharting in place of, or in association with, information oriented and process oriented

system flowcharts. When analysts prepare the Data Flow Diagram, they specify the user needs at a

level of detail that virtually determines the information flow into and out of the system and the

required data resources. This network is constructed by using a set of symbols that do not imply a

physical implementation. The Data Flow Diagram reviews the current physical system, prepares

input and output specification, specifies the implementation plan etc.

Four basic symbols are used to construct data flow diagrams. They are symbols that represent data

source, data flows, and data transformations and data storage. The points at which data are

transformed are represented by enclosed figures, usually circles, which are called nodes.

Data Flow Diagram Symbols:-

_ Source or Destination of data

_ Data Flow

_ Process

_ Storage

Steps to Construct Data Flow Diagrams

Four steps are commonly used to construct a DFD

Process should be named and numbered for easy reference. Each name should be

representative of the process.

The direction of flow is from top to bottom and from left to right.

8/10/2019 Project Report on Expert Support System

11/72

When a process is exploded into lower level details they are numbered.

The names of data stores, sources and destinations are written in capital letters.

Rules for constructing a Data Flow Diagram

Arrows should not cross each other.

Squares, Circles and files must bear names.

Decomposed data flow squares and circles can have same names.

Choose meaningful names for dataflow.

Draw all data flows around the outside of the diagram.

LANGUAGE AND TECNOLOGY REQUIREMENTS

INTRODUCTION TO JAVA

About Java:

Initially the language was called as oak but it was renamed as java in 1995.The

primary motivation of this language was the need for a platform-independent (i.e.

architecture neutral) language that could be used to create software to be embedded in

various consumer electronic devices.

Java is a programmers language

Java is cohesive and consistent

Except for those constraint imposed by the Internet environment. Java gives the

programmer, full control

Finally Java is to Internet Programming where c was to System Programming.

8/10/2019 Project Report on Expert Support System

17/72

Importance of Java to the Internet

Java has had a profound effect on the Internet. This is because; java expands the Universe of

objects that can move about freely in Cyberspace. In a network, two categories of objects are

transmitted between the server and the personal computer. They are passive information and

Dynamic active programs. in the areas of Security and probability. But Java addresses these

concerns and by doing so, has opened the door to an exciting new form of program called the

Applet.

Applications and applets. An application is a program that runs on our Computer under the

operating system of that computer. It is more or less like one creating using C or C++ .Javas

ability to create Applets makes it important. An Applet I san application, designed to be

transmitted over the Internet and executed by a Java-compatible web browser. An applet I

actually a tiny Java program, dynamically downloaded across the network, just like an image.

But the difference is, it is an intelligent program, not just a media file. It can be react to the user

input and dynamically change.

Java ArchitectureJava architecture provides a portable, robust, high performing environment for development.

Java provides portability by compiling the byte codes for the Java Virtual Machine, which is then

interpreted on each platform by the run-time environment. Java is a dynamic system, able to load

code when needed from a machine in the same room or across the planet.

Compilation of code

When you compile the code, the Java compiler creates machine code (called byte code)for a

hypothetical machine called Java Virtual Machine(JVM). The JVM is supposed t executed the

byte code. The JVM is created for the overcoming the issue of probability. The code is written

and compiled for one machine and interpreted on all machines .This machine is called Java

Virtual Machine.

During run-time the Java interpreter tricks the byte code file into thinking that it is running on a

Java Virtual Machine. In reality this could be an Intel Pentium windows 95 or sun SPARCstation

running Solaris or Apple Macintosh running system and all could receive code from any

computer through internet and run the Applets.

Simple:

Java was designed to be easy for the Professional programmer to learn and to use effectively. If

you are an experienced C++ Programmer. Learning Java will oriented features of C++ . Most

of the confusing concepts from C++ are either left out of Java or implemented in a cleaner,

more approachable manner. In Java there are a small number of clearly defined ways toaccomplish a given task.

Object oriented:

Java was not designed to be source-code compatible with any other language. This allowed

the Java team the freedom to design with a blank state. One outcome of this was a clean

usable, pragmatic approach to objects. The object model in Java is simple and easy to extend,

8/10/2019 Project Report on Expert Support System

19/72

while simple types, such as integers, are kept as high-performance non-objects.

Robust:

The multi-platform environment of the web places extraordinary demands on a program, because

the program must execute reliably in a variety of systems. The ability to create robust programs.

Was given a high priority in the design of Java. Java is strictly typed language; it checks your

code at compile time and runtime.

Java virtually eliminates the problems of memory management and deal location, which

is completely automatic. In a well-written Java program, all run-time errors can and should

be managed by your program.

Servlets/JSP

INTRODUCTION

A Servlet is a generic server extension. A Java class that can be loaded Dynamically to

expand the functionality of a server.Servlets are commonly used with web servers. Where

they can take the place CGI scripts.

A servlet is similar to proprietary server extension, except that it runs inside a Java

Virtual Machine (JVM) on the server, so it is safe and portable.

Servlets operate solely within the domain of the server.

Unlike CGI and Fast CGI, which use multiple processes to handle separate program or

separate requests, separate threads within web server process handle all servlets. This

means that servlets are all efficient and scalable.

Servlets are portable; both across operating systems and also across web servers. Java

Servlets offer the best possible platform for web application development.

Servlets are used as replacement for CGI scripts on a web server, they can extend anysort of server such as a mail server that allows servelts t extend its functionality perhaps

by performing a virus scan on all attached documents or handling mail filtering tasks.

Servlets provide a Java-based solution used to address the problems currently associated

with doing server-side programming including inextensible scripting solutions platform-

specific APIs and incomplete interface.

Servlets are objects that conform to a specific interface that can be plugged into a Java-

8/10/2019 Project Report on Expert Support System

20/72

based server.Servlets are to the server-side what applets are to the server-side what

applets are to the client-side-object byte codes that can be dynamically loaded off the net.

They differ form applets in than they are faceless objects(with out graphics or a GUI

component).They serve as platform independent, dynamically loadable,plugable helper

byte code objects on the server side that can be used to dynamically extend server-side

functionality.

For example an HTTP servlet can be used to generate dynamic HTML content when you use

servlets to do dynamic content you get the following advantages:

Theyre faster and cleaner then CGI scripts

They use a standard API( the servlet API)

They provide all the advantages of Java (run on a variety of servers without needing to berewritten)

Attractiveness of Servlets:

They are many features of servlets that make them easy and attractive to tuse these

include:

Easily configure using the GUI-based Admin tool

Can be Loaded and Invoked from a local disk or remotely across the network.

Can be linked together or chained, so that on servlet can call another servlet, or several

servlets in sequence.

Can be called dynamically from with in HTML, pages using server-side include-tags.

Are secure-even when downloading across the network, the servlet security model and

servlet and box protect your system from unfriendly behavior.

Advantages of the servlet API

One of the great advantages of the servlet API is protocol independent. It assumes nothing about:

The protocol being used to transmit on the net

How it is loaded

The server environment it will be running in

8/10/2019 Project Report on Expert Support System

21/72

These quantities are important, because it allows the Servlet API to be embedded in many

different kinds of servers. There are other advantages to the servlet API as well These

include:

Its extensible-you can inherit all your functionality from the base classes made available

to you

Its simple small, and easy to use.

Features of Servlets:

Servlets are persistent. Servlet are loaded only by the web server and can maintain

services between requests.

Servlets are fast. Since servlets only need to be l\loaded once, they offer much better

performance over their CGI counterparts.

Servlets are platform independent.

Servlets are extensible Java is a robust, object-oriented programming language, which

easily can be extended to suit your needs.

Servlets are secure

Servlets are used with a variety of client.

Loading Servlets:

Servlets can be loaded from their places. From a directory that is on the CLASSPATH. The

CLASSPATH of the Java Webserver includes service root/classes/, which is where the system

classes reside

From the

8/10/2019 Project Report on Expert Support System

22/72

Loading Remote Servlets

Remote servlets can be loaded by:

Configuring the admin Tool to setup automatic loading of remote servlets.

Selecting up server side include tags in .html files

Defining a filter chain Configuration

The Servlet Life Cycle:-

The Servlet life cycle is one of the most exciting features of Servlets.This life cycle is a powerful

hybrid of the life cycles used in CGI programming and lower-level NSAPI and ISAPI

programming.

The servlet life cycle allows servlet engines to address both the performance and resource

problems of CGI and the security contents of low level server API programming.

Servlet life cycle is highly flexible Servers have significant leeway in how they choose to

support servlets. The only hard and fast rule is that a servlet engine must confor to the following

life cycle contact:

Create and initialize the servlets

Handle zero or more service from clients

Destroy the servlet and then garbage collects it.

Its perfectly legal for a servlet t be loaded, created an initialized in its own JVM,only to be

destroyed an garbage collected without handling any client request or after handling just one

request

The most common and most sensible life cycle implementations for HTTP servelts are:

Single java virtual machine and astatine persistence.

Init and Destroy:-

Just like Applets servlets can define init() and destroy() methods, A servlets init(ServiceConfig)

method is called by the server immediately after the server constructs the servlets instance.

Depending on the server and its configuration, this can be at any of these timesWhen the server

states. When the servlet is first requested, just before the service() method is invoked at the

request of the server administrator.

8/10/2019 Project Report on Expert Support System

23/72

In any case, init () is guaranteed to be called before the servlet handles its first request ,The init ()

method is typically used to perform servlet initialization creating or loading objects that are used

by the servlet in handling of its request. In order to providing a new servlet any information

about itself and its environment, a server has to call a servelts init () method and pass an object

that implement the ServletConfig interface.

STATELESS PROTOCOL

HTTP is a stateless protocol, it provides no way for a server to recognize that a sequence of

requests is all from the same client. This causes a problem for application such as shopping cart

applications. Even in chat application server cant know exactly whos making a request of

several clients.

The solution for this is for client to introduce itself as it makes each request, each clients needs to

provide a unique identifier that lets the server identify it, or it needs to give some information

that the server can use to properly handle the request, there are several ways to send this

introductory information with each request Such as:

User authorization:

One way to perform session tracking is to leverage the information that comes with

User authorization. When a web server restricts access to some of its resources to only those

clients that log in using a recognized username and password. After the client logs in, the

username is available to a servlet through getRemoteUser(),When use the username to track the

session. Once a user has logged in, the browser remembers her username and resends the name

and password as the user views new pages on the site. A servlet can identify the user through her

username and theyre by Track her session.

The biggest advantage of using user authorization to perform session tracking is that its

easy to implement. Simply tell the protect a set of pages, and use getRemoteUser () to

identify each client. Another advantage is that the technique works even when the user

accesses your site form or exists her browser before coming back.

The biggest disadvantage of user authorization is that it requires each user to register for

an account and then log in in each time the starts visiting your site. Most users will

tolerate registering and lagging in as a necessary evil when they are accessing sensitive

information, but its all overkill for simple session tracking. Other problem with user

8/10/2019 Project Report on Expert Support System

24/72

authorization is that a user cannot simultaneously maintain more than one session at the

same site.

Persistent Cookies:

A fourth technique to perform session tracking involves persistent cookies. A cookie is a bit of

information. Sent by a web server to a browser that can later be read back form that browser.

When a browser receives a cookie, it saves the cookie and there after sends the cookie back to

the server each time it accesses a page on that server, subject to certain rules. Because a cookies

value can uniquely identify a client, cookies are often used for session tracking.

Persistent cookies offer an elegant, efficient easy way to implement session tracking. Cookies

provide as automatic an introduction for each request as we could hope for. For each request, a

cookie can automatically provide a clients session ID or perhaps a list of clients performance.

The ability to customize cookies gives them extra power and versatility.

The biggest problem with cookies is that browsers dont always accept cookies sometimes this isbecause the browser doesnt support cookies. More often its because the browser doesnt

support cookies. More often its because the user has specifically configured the browser torefuse cookies.

JDBC

What is JDBC?

Any relational database. One can write a single program using the JDBC API,and the JDBC is a

Java API for executing SQL, Statements(As a point of interest JDBC is trademarked name and is

not an acronym; nevertheless,Jdbc is often thought of as standing for Java Database

Connectivity. It consists of a set of classes and interfaces written in the Java Programming

language.JDBC provides a standard API for tool/database developers and makes it possible to

write database applications using a pure Java API.

Using JDBC, it is easy to send SQL statements to virtually program will be able to send SQL

.statements to the appropriate database. The Combination of Java and JDBC lets a programmer

writes it once and run it anywhere.

What Does JDBC Do?

Simply put, JDBC makes it possible to do three things

The JDBC drivers that we are aware of this time fit into one of four categories

JDBC-ODBC Bridge plus ODBC driver

Native-API party-java driver

JDBC-Net pure java driver

Native-protocol pure Java driver

An individual database system is accessed via a specific JDBC driver that implements the

java.SQL.Driver interface. Drivers exist for nearly all-popular RDBMS systems, through few are

available for free. Sun bundles a free JDBC-ODBC bridge driver with the JDK to allow access to

a standard ODBC, data sources, such as a Microsoft Access database, Sun advises against using

the bridge driver for anything other than development and very limited development.

JDBC drivers are available for most database platforms, from a number of vendors and in a

number of different flavors. There are four driver categories

Type 01-JDBC-ODBC Bridge Driver

Type 01 drivers use a bridge technology to connect a java client to an ODBC database

service. Suns JDBC-ODBC bridge is the most common type 01 driver. These drivers

implemented using native code.

Type 02-Native-API party-java Driver

Type 02 drivers wrap a thin layer of java around database-specific native code libraries

for Oracle databases, the native code libraries might be based on the OCI(Oracle call Interface)

libraries, which were originally designed for C/C++ programmers, Because type-02 drivers are

implemented using native code. In some cases they have better performance than their all-java

counter parts. They add an element of risk, however, because a defect in a drivers native code

section can crash the entire server.

Type 03-Net-Protocol All-Java Driver

Type 03 drivers communicate via a generic network protocol to a piece of custom

middleware. The middleware component might use any type of driver to provide the actual

database access. These drivers are all java, which makes them useful for applet deployment and

safe for servlet deployment

Type-04-native-protocol All-java Driver

Type o4 drivers are the most direct of the lot. Written entirely in java, Type 04 drivers

understand database-specific networking. Protocols and can access the database directly without

any additional software

JDBC-ODBC Bridge

If possible use a Pure Java JDBC driver instead of the Bridge and an ODBC driver. This

completely eliminates the client configuration required by ODBC.It also eliminates the potential

that the Java VM could be corrupted by an error in the native code brought in by the Bridge (that

is, the Bridge native library, the ODBC driver manager library, library, the ODBC driver library,

and the database client library).

WHAT IS The JDBC-ODBE Bridge?

The JDBC-ODBC Bridge is a Jdbc driver, which implements JDBC operations by translating them

into ODBC operations. To ODBC it appears as a normal application program. The Bridge is

implemented as the sun.jdbc.odbc Java package and contains a native library used to access

ODBC.The Bridge is joint development of Intersolv and Java Soft.

HTML

Hypertext Markup Language (HTML), the languages of the World Wide Web (WWW), allows

users to produces web pages that included text, graphics and pointer to other web pages(Hyperlinks).

HTML is not a programming language but it is an application of ISO Standard 8879, SGML

(Standard Generalized Markup Language), but Specialized to hypertext and adapted to the Web.

The idea behind Hypertext one point to another point. We can navigate through the information

based on out interest and preference. A markup language is simply a series of items enclosed

within the elements should be displayed.

Hyperlinks are underlined or emphasized works that load to other documents or some portions of

the same document.

Html can be used to display any type of document on the host computer, which can be

geographically at a different location. It is a versatile language and can be used on any platform or

desktop

HTML provides tags (special codes) to make the document look attractive.

HTML provides are not case-sensitive. Using graphics, fonts, different sizes, color, etc... can

enhance the presentation of the document. Anything that is not a tag is part of the document it self.

Basic Html Tags:

3 Specific Comments.

4 Creates Hypertext links.

5 Creates hypertext links.

6 .. Formats text in large-font

7 . Contains all tags and text in the Html-document8 Creates Text

9 .. Definition of a term.

10 Creates table

11.. Indicates table data in a table.

12.. Designates a table row

13. Creates a heading in a table.

ADVANTAGES:-

A HTML document is small and hence easy to send over the net.It is small because it does not

include formatted information.

HTML is platform independent

HTML tags are not case-sensitive.

JAVA SCRIPT

The Java Script Language

JavaScript is a compact, object-based scripting language for developing client and server internet

applications. Netscape Navigator 2.0 interprets JavaScript statements embedded directly in an

HTML page. And Livewire enables you to create server-based applications similar to common

gateway interface (CGI) programs.

In a client application for Navigator, JavaScript statements embedded in an HTML Page can

recognize and respond to user events such as mouse clicks form Input, and page navigation.

For example, you can write a JavaScript function to verify that users enter valid information into a

form requesting a telephone number or zip code. Without any network transmission, an Html page

with embedded Java Script can interpret the entered text and alert the user with a message dialog if

the input 99is invalid or you can use JavaScript to perform an action (such as play an audio file,

execute an applet, or communicate with a plug-in) in response to the user opening or exiting a

page.
