1.06 Overall Description

This web based application will be a helping hand towards the tedious and important job that the HR Group of every Company performs. Maintenance of universal database, structured flow of instructions and hassle free execution of interview procedure are the main objectives of this application.

2.01 Product Perspective:

The web pages (XHTML/JSP) are present to provide the user interface on client side. Communication between client and server is provided through HTTP/HTTPS protocols. The Client Software is to provide the user interface on system user client side and for this TCP/IP protocols are used. On the server side web server is for EJB and database server is for storing the information.

2.02 Software Interface:

Client on Internet: Web Browser, Operating System (any) Client on Intranet: Client Software, Web Browser, Operating System (any) Web Server: Tomcat application server, Operating System (any) Data Base Server: DB2, Operating System (any)

Development End: Eclipse (J2EE, Java, Servlets, JSP), DB2, Windows, APACHE TOMCAT Web Server.

3.01 SPECIFIC AND SUPPLEMENTARY REQUIREMENTS:

24 x 7 Availability - If the base is now the entire world, staying open 24 hours a day becomes critical. Because system can be an automated Process, so it can stay open for 24 hours a day. So UPS support must be on server site for at least 8 hours in case of power failure. System will remain inaccessible to users at 2:00 to 4:00 am for backup and maintenance purpose. Dynamic Website - Many early Web implementations consisted of static HTML pages. This becomes very difficult to manage if

the number of pages gets too large. An effective system should be largely dynamic taking advantage of technology that automates this process rather than relying on manual processes. Application should serve dynamic user based customized web pages to its clients from server. Integration with existing enterprise systems Any existing Web site that relies on the manual duplication of data from another system is one that can be improved. Most of the business data in the world today exists in enterprise servers that can be connected to the Web servers to make this process far more effective. Provide good performance and the ability to scale the server The Web application Server should provide good performance and the ability to manage performance with techniques, such as support for caching, clustering, and load balancing. Providing session management capability - Web application developers should not spend valuable time worrying about how to maintain sessions within the application. The Web Application Server should provide these services.
