1. PREFACE AND INTRODUCTION
The project has been carried out during a four-week project, from the 20th of
NOVEMBER to 19th of DECEMBER 2003 at the IT University of Copenhagen under
the guidance and supervision of Mr.Carsten Butz. We thank Mr. Carsten Butz for
assistance during the project.
We also thank the people who have given their support during the development
of the project.
During the mentioned timeframe we developed by using the Java programming
language, an Online MovieTicketBooking System . The computer network environment
that we work with in this project consists on a group of clients and a server.
1.1 Primary Goals
Build a Java environment for an online Booking System that supports client-server
Applications. The system is trained to reserve tickets for a movie.
1.2 Limitations or Restrictions
The main limitation is the 4-week time to develop this system. During this time we have
to find the tools that could be applied in order to find appropriate solutions and make the
system work.
Background and Description of the Problem
The main aim of this project is to book the movie tickets online. For this purpose
we have used java servlets and html forms to communication between the client and
server. The database we have used is MySql.
The main problem we have faced is checking the reservation status.when a user
comes to book a ticket for a particular movie, the system has to check whether the seats
are available for that movie in desired theatre on desired date. To overcome this task we
have designed database which is free from redundancy. For this task we have created a
table called Free_seats, in which we maintain the movie name, theatre name, date and
price categories.
For this task we have written a servlet called Booking Servlet, which accepts the
information from the user and sends it to the server, then the server checks the database
using the information provided by the user and sends a response to the user.
Connecting to the database
Class.forName(“org.gjt.mm.mysql.Driver”).newInstance();
String username = “cbgroup5”;//username for MySQL
String Password = “h852s73j”; //password for MySQL.
String url = “jdbc:mysql://mysql.it-c.dk/cbgroup5”;
Connection con = DriverManger.getConnection(url, username, password);
Statement st =con.createStatement();
ResultSet rs=st.executeQuery(“SELECT * FROM FREE_SEATS”);
ResultSetMetaData meta = rs.getMetaData();
int theatre_id=0;
int size1=0;
int size2=0;
String Theatrename=null;
String mvname=null;
String date=null;
String stime=null;
While (rs.next())
{
theatrename=rs.getString(“THNAME”);
theatre_id=rs.getInt(“TH_ID”);
mvname=rs.getString(“MOVNAME”);
size1=rs.getInt(“C1_SIZE”);
size2=rs.getInt(“C2_SIZE”);
date=rs.getString(“MDATE”);
stime =rs.getString(“SHOWTIME”);
}
The program checks the seats available to the movie requested, and
process the task. If not there is a possibility of throwing errors. To avoid such
errors, the system checks the condition whether the no. Of tickets requested are
less than the available seats. If the condition is true the system reserves the
requested no. Of tickets to the user. If the Condition is flase it displays a message
with the available no. Of seats and request the user to enter the no. Of seats that
are available.
SYSTEM REQUIREMENTS
The sytem should consist of client-server application. Both the client and
server part of the application should be written in java.
The system has to provide a user to search movies that are running in the city and
allow him to serve tickets for a movie, eg. A user sends his request to book a ticket for a
movie to the server, and the server checks the availability of the tickets for the requested
movie and allots him a Reservation ID as a response from the server.
The Client side might be included in respect to capturing the requests from the
user and transmitting them over the network. The client side should include a simple
graphical user interface, which provides capabilities of capturing and transmitting
requests over the network.
The server side should receive the requests, carry out task of booking a ticket for
the requested movie and send back to the client the result .
Problem Analysis
Overview of the System
The system was built based on the Java code that was provided and tested during
the Client-Server course exercises.
The system has a Client side and Server Side. The Client side is used to capture
the requests(booking a ticket for a movie) from the user, and transmit the data over the
network. The Server Side is used to receive the data from the client and carry out the
reservation task.
Client-Server Connection
A network connection between users and a server is made through sockets.
Normally the server runs on a specific computer and has a socket for communication and
listens on a specific port. It basically waits and “listens” until a client requests a
connection.
The client should know the hostname of the computer on which the server is
running and also the port number to which the server is connected.
If the server accepts the connection request from the client, the server makes a
new socket with a different port and communicates with the client from there. Then the
port on the server that waits and “listens” is available again and ready to receive new
connection requests from other client(s) and at the same time attending the needs of the
connected client.
Structure of the Online Booking System
The design of the project was developed based on the previously described
Requirements Specifications and problem Analysis using java-programming language. In
order to create a communication network, two main classes were created: the Client and
the Server class. The description of the program will be divided into two parts, the first
referring to the Client side and the other referring to the Server side. In this project we
have divided two modules one is sales agent module and the other is the management
module.
SALES AGENT MODULE
The main task of the system is to book the tickets online through sales agents for a
particular movie in a particular theatre of user choice. The Sales Agents book the tickets
online according to the user requirements.
In this module a sales agent searches for a movie .and book a ticket for a movie in
a particular theatre using the user interfaces that are developed. Not only booking tickets
but also cancelation of tickets can also be done using this system. The system can only
gives access to the authorised users.Every agent has its own login.. When a sales agent
login to the system he has to provide his username and password .whenever he provides
the correct login he can view the complete movie information containing the movie
name, theatre name, no of tickets available are displayed. Then the agent can book the
tickets by providing the reservation details in the reservation form that are collected from
the user.. As soon as the agent submits the reservation details the system reserves the
desired no. Of tickets and provides the user a Reservation ID. If the no. of requested
tickets is greater than the no. Of free seats then the system displays a message available
number of free seats.
If a user wish to cancel his reservation, he can do so by submitting his reservation
Id. As soon as he submits his res_id, and the number of tickets he wants to cancel the
system will do the appropriate operation and updates the no. of free seats in the
Free_seats table.
We have maintained two levels of prices for each theatre. This price differs on
based on the movie.
MANAGEMENT MODULE
This module is meant for management. In this module management people can
create new agents, update movie information, insert movies into the database and can
updates the database. Using the management interfaces that are developed can do this
whole process . Management people don’t interact directly with the database, but by
using the interfaces they can modify, insert, update and delete the information from the
database.
This module is restricted for only one user for security reasons. Only the
authorized person can access this module. He can only login into this module by
providing valid username and password. As soon as he login to this module, he has
options like insert, update,delete, and create. Using these forms he makes changes into
the database. The forms developed are most user-friendly.
Database Design:
We have used MySQL database to design our tables. In our project we have used
four tables for our need. (Refer Database Tables in Appendix)
Tables:
Agent_Info
Mov_Info
Res_Info
Free_seats
Agent_Info:
AGENT_ID
AGENTNAME
UNAME
PWORD
ADDRESS
This table maintains the details of the sales agents. Here every agent is given an ID,
which is unique .
Mov-Info:
TH_ID
MOVNAME
THNAME
MDATE
SHOWTIME
This table contains the complete information about the movies running in all
theatres.
Res_Info:
RES_ID
THNAME
MOVNAME
NO_TICKETS
PRICE
TH_ID
MDATE
SHOWTIME
This table maintains the details of the reserved tickets. Reservation Ids will
generates randomly and stores into the database. Here RES_ID is unique. This Id is used
as a reference.
Free_ Seats:
THNAME
MOVNAME
C1_SIZE
C2_SIZE
MDATE
SHOWTIME
This table maintains the complete details of the available seats for each movie.
C1_SIZE and C2_SIZE are the number of seats of both class1and class2 respectively.
Software Specifications
Requirements:
. Java Servlets
. My SQL Database
. HTML
Java
Java is an object oriented programming language. It is simple to understand as it
is make possible to model real life objects in digital environment by using java classes,
give the description to eht objects by using variables and give functionality to the objects
by methods.
Java was designed as an Internet-application language and allows writing
programs as Java applications or Java applets. For this project we used J2SE that supports
server side programming to cary out the task of reserving tickets for a movie.
Servlets Overview
. Servlets are Java technology’s answer to CGI programming. They are programs
that run on a Web server and build Web pages.The necessity of creating the webpages
dynamically leads to invent the servlet technology.Java servlets are more efficient, easier
to use, more powerful, more portable, and cheaper than traditional CGI and than many
alternative CGI-like technologies.
HTTP Request Headers:
When an HTTP client(e.g. a browser) sends a request, it is required to supply a
request line (usually GET or POST). If it wants to, it can also send a number of headers,
all of which are optional except for Content-Length, which is required only for POST
requests.
HTTP Response Headers:
A response from a Web server normally consists of a status line, one or more
response headers, a blank line, and the document. Setting the HTTP response headers
often goes hand in hand with setting the status codes in the status line.
Handling form Data
One of the nice features of Java servlets is that all of this form parsing is handled
automatically. Just simply call the get Parameter method of the HTTP Servlet Request,
supplying the parameter name as an argument. This is exactly the same way when the
data is sent via GET as we do when it is sent via POST. The return value is a String
corresponding the undecoded value of the first occurrence of that parameter name. An
empty String is returned if the parameter exists but has no value, and null is returned if
there was no such parameter. If the parameter could potentially have more than one value
we should call get Parameter Values instead of getParameter. This returns an array of
strings.
HTML
HyperText Markup Language(HTML), the publishing language of the World
Wide Web. In addition to the text, multimedia, and hyperlink features it also supports
more multimedia options, scripting languages, style sheets, better printing facilities, and
documents that are more accessible to users with disabilities. HTML takes great strides
towards the internationalization of documents, with the goal of making the Web truly
World Wide.
MySQL
The MySQL database is a high-performance relational database management
system for Web site and business application development and deployment. MySQL is
available on all major Linux distributions, as well as Unix, Mac OS and Windows
operating systems.
The MySQL database server is the world’s most popular open source database. Its
architecture makes it extremely fast and easy to customize. Extensive reuse of code
within the software and a minimalistic approach to producing functionally rich features
has resulted in a database management system unmatched in speed, compactness stability
and ease of deployment. The unique separation of the core server from the storage engine
makes it possible to run with strict transaction control or with ultra-fast transactionless
disk access.
User’s Guide and Examples
Main page
This is a home page of Online Booking System. This page contains some
graphical images and the images of the movies currently showing in the theates. This
page consists of a menu, which have link to several other pages like About the System,
Movies Info, Terms & Conditions, Cancel Reservation. This page also consists of Search
option and Sign In.
Search by Movie:
If the user wants to search for a particular movie , he has to submit the
moviename, and clicks on the GO button he gets the information of the requested movie
or theatre.
Sign In:
If the user clicks on this link he is redirected to login page.
Login Page
This page used to login into the system for both the Sales Agents And
Management. A registered user can sign into the system by providing valid username and
password. If the user enters incorrect username or password he is requested to provide a
valid username and password.
If the agent is successfully logged in, he is redirected to Reservation form.
Reservation Form
This page contains the staus of reservations of each movie. Here the agent can see
the status of each movie and reserve the ticket for the requested movie by submitting
theatrename, moviename, date, no.of tickets and price. As soon as he submits the above
values the user gets a Res_Id, which is randomly generated by the system.
Cancelation Page
This page is meant for canceling the reservations. Here the sales agent has to
submit the reservation id and the number of tickets he wants to cancel.
Management Updation Page
As soon as the management people login to the system they are redirected to this
page. In this page complete movie information of all the theatres are displayed. Here the
management can insert a new movie into the database or delete a selected movie from the
list.
Management Insert Page
When the management people clicks on insert button this page is displayed Here
they are asked to provide the theatre name, movie name and date, submits the above
values they get the updated version of Management Updation Page.
Technical Description of the Program
The online booking system consists of two modules one the client side, the sales agent
module and other the Server side i.e Management module, In the sales agent module we
have the following 5 classes.
Classes Used In Agent Module
. Class login servlet
. Class Booking Servlet
. Class Cancelation Servlet
. Class MovieSearch Servlet
. Class ReservationInfo Servlet
In the management module we have the following 3 classes (refer UNL Diagrams in
Appendix)
Classes Used In Management Module
. Class ManagementInfoServlet .
. Class Management Insert
. Class Delete Servlet
Sales Agent Module Main Classes:
Login Servlet:
This Servlet is used to allow the authorized agents to access the system. Only
one method is used in this Servlet.
Public void doGet():
When an agent submits his username and password this method is invoked. When a user
clicks on submit button this method checks the username and password supplied by the
user and checks the submitted values with the Agent_Info table. If the values are
matched, the agent is allowed to enter into the system and carry out the required tasks.
(source code in Appendix)
Booking Servlet:
This servlet gives the information about the reservation status of all the
movies. This information is retrieved from the Free_seats table. If the customer
wants to book a seat for a particular movie, the sales agent enters the Movie
name, Date Number Of Tickets, and Price Category.
ReservationInfoServlet:
When the sales agent press the Submitbutton in the Booking Servlet this
Servlet will be invoked and takes the values from the User and Inserts into the
reservationinfo table and updates the free_seats table, and gives the reservation id
to the customer and how much price the customer has to pay.
MovieSearchServlet:
This Servlet is used to search movies . It accepts movie name from the
user and searches the Free_seats table and displays the results.
Management Module Main Classes
Management Info Servlet:
whenever the management logs into the system, this Servlet is invoked
and displays the currently showing movies information. This Servlet gives two
options i.e., insert a movie and delete a movie. Based on the action he has selected
that particular Servlet is invoked. (source code in Appendix).
ManagementInsert:
This Servlet is called when the management want to insert a movie into
the database. It accepts the movie name, date and theatrename. These values are
inserted into Mov_Info table and updates the Free_seats table. (source code in
Appendix).
Delete Servlet:
This Servlet is invoked when the management people selects a movie and
press the delete button. This action performs deleting the selected movie
information from the Mov_info and Free_seats tables(source code in Appendix).
Test
Test results:
We tested our system on specific scenarios and found that it handles
standard situation. we should be also mention that the system is not capable to
handle unexpected use.
Based on the testing results, we found that changes and improvements can
be made to provide more stability to the system.
. Handling exceptions and creating a specific exceptions
. Use conditions to handle unexpected use of the program
Further Improvements and Extensions of the System
1> Seating Arrangement can be made based on user choice
2>This system can be extended to any number of theatres and shows.
Conclusion
Achievements:
During this four-week project we developed a program that functions according to the
system requirements, we developed a simple online booking system in a java
environment.
During this project we utilized not only java programming skills but also a theoretical
knowledge of the system we developed.
Our practical achievement is basically an extensive experience in java programming. In
addition to that we learned to use algorithm and programs developed in java environment.
Scope:
This project covers all the agents.
This system can extended to any number of agents and maintainance center.
This is very useful for easy maintainance.
