4 Read the following case study thoroughly and answer the following questions:
ABC is an educational institute which is reputed for its management courses. It has
3 branches in different places and is planning to launch 2 more branches in some
other places. The institute used to maintain the student details in the form of a hard
copy file. One day, a fire broke out in the record section and all such records were
destroyed. Next day the management decided to maintain the student details in a
computer so as to prevent the damage due to such disasters. One of the management
members suggested that XYZ Company is capable of developing a kind of
application for maintaining records using java. The member further told other
members that in his friend’s organisation the same java application developed by the
sXYZ company was working very effectively and it also offered enough security
parameters. Immediately the management appointed an employee who had good
knowledge of java language to oversee the implementation of the required
application. That employee prepared an outline of the company’s requirements and
submitted it to the XYZ Company. The requirements of institute were: For
institute’s employees—student details, course details, materials, and access rights.
For students it was— Course material, feedback on assignments, course details and
faculty details.
XYZ company’s web designers developed a prototype of an application based on the
requirements of the ABC institute. Now the programmers of XYZ company detailed
the process of application development based on the specified requirements. They
decided that for display purpose they can use JSP (Java Sever Pages) and to retrieve
the details of a particular student, they would create JDBC connection to the all
branches. The student details can be stored in a database table (server side) by using
MySql.
They also decided to use servlets for internal process. That is, sending of request and
obtaining response from the server. After developing the application, they submitted
it to ABC institute for testing purpose. During the testing process, it was found that
there is no proper security mechanism in the application. That is, the application
permitted ‘Login’ by every member. So ABC company asked XYZ company to install
security mechanism in the application such that it gives separate access to the
employees and students. XYZ company modified the application by giving only
limited and absolutely necessary access rights to the concerned users. Also a new
security parameter added to the application, prevented access by a user for 24 hours
if he/she entered incorrect ‘Login’ details for three consecutive times.
a) Give reasons as to why ABC institute decided to choose XYZ Company for the
development of Java application.
b) Discuss the reason for using JSP in java application.

4 A business products distributor was manually processing over 300,000 customer orders each
year. Heavy order flow prior to shipping cut-off timeframes and a highly variable daily
volume created staffing challenges and inconsistent order turnaround times.
Despite an effort to process customer orders via EDI, the company continued to receive over
20,000 orders per month via fax and email requiring manual data entry. Customer Service
Associates in three different centres manually entered the orders into the order management
system with the added pressure of meeting a shipping deadline. As any manual single-pass
data entry process there were many errors, especially during peak processing cycles.
Due to a complex product catalogue, variety of order types received from customers, and the
large customer base, finding and training data entry specialists was a challenge. Fluctuating
daily order volumes made maintaining appropriate staffing levels very difficult. During peak
demand periods order processing lags would greatly decrease customer satisfaction levels.
To solve all these problems the company implemented an outsourced automatic data entry
solution with sophisticated “free–form” data extraction for their fax and email orders. The
solution was able to recognise and capture data from any customer order format with 99.5%
accuracy. Order input no longer requires the participation of the company’s order entry
staff, which has reduced labour costs. The solution also receives fax and email orders on
behalf of the company directly from customers and converts the hardcopy order to an EDI
electronic purchase order for the order management systems.
The solution includes a customised web-based portal to support exception processing and a
secure web tool for archiving and storing images of all of the original order documents. The
solution is completely accessible on demand from any of the company’s workstations. The
solution was fully operational within 90 days and required zero capital investments in
hardware, software or labour on the part of the company.

solution?
