Methodology
Application:

Web based application Architecture used: 3 tier architecture

Technology Used
Core

Java for business logic, JDBC for database connectivity Servlets for server side processing HTML, JSP, JavaScript for presentation logic

Java

Java is a programming language originally developed by James Gosling at Sun Microsystems (now part of Oracle Corporation) and released in 1995. Java applications are typically compiled to byte code (class file) that can run on any Java Virtual Machine (JVM) regardless of computer architecture Java is intended to let application developers "write once, run anywhere.

Features of java

Platform Independent Simple Object Oriented Robust Distributed Portable Dynamic Secure Multithreaded

Java Server Pages(JSP)

server

side programming language and used as presentation layer Control the content or appearance of web pages through the use of servlets, small programs that are specified in the web page and run on the Web server to modify the web page allows software developers to create dynamic web pages

Apache Tomcat
Tomcat

is an application, a product of Apache Software foundation that enables you to make you standalone PC work as a Server Help in a lot of tasks such as programming using Java Server Pages (JSP). By installing this software you can do any related task that a server does

MySQL- Backend

MySQL, the most popular Open Source SQL database management system, is developed, distributed, and supported by Sun Microsystems Incorporation. A Relational database stores data in separate tables rather than putting all the data in one big storeroom To add, access, and process data stored in a computer database, you need a database management system such as MySQL Server

Reason to use MySQL

MySQL is a relational database management system. MySQL software is Open Source. The MySQL Database Server is very fast, reliable, and easy to use. MySQL Server works in client/server or embedded systems. A large amount of contributed MySQL software is available.
