ABSTRACT

5

The purpose of this project is enhance and make the reservation system more advanced for the users. This project helps in removing all the unsatisfied features and helps in making them more efficient and advanced. The project also highlights the various softwares and tools used for the reservation system.

The JAVA application has a very simple and user friendly GUI making user experience easier, and runs on a executable .JAR file.

Since The reservation system is handled by a website i.e www.irctc.co.in it is a very heavy website. And when multiple users are logged in then the server is unable to take the load , due to which the users cannot access different pages and are unable to reserver their tickets on time. It has some missing features which are added in my JAVA application.

Though IRCTC has evolved with newer versions in the past but still it is not able to give proper facility of reservation for users. My JAVA application contains no lag when multiple users are logged in and it also contains newly added features that includes saving the journey to “Favourites” for future access , saving the payment card for “Quick Payment” in future transactions.

INTRODUCTION

Java is a computer programming language that is concurrent, class-based, object-oriented,

and specifically designed to have as few implementation dependencies as possible. It is

intended to let application developers "write once, run anywhere" (WORA), meaning that

code that runs on one platform does not need to be recompiled to run on another. A JAVA

application has been made with the help of the tool Netbeans 7.4. Java applications are

typically compiled to byte code that can run on any Java virtual machine (JVM). The JAVA

based applications are basically designed on a platform called Netbeans. This tool is provides

Very advanced interface for the programmer to create code and GUI for the software. The

basic preview of the code is also available for users’s convenience. JAVA Application

development is very useful for making various kinds of Applications . Netbeans has all the

basic and the advanced tool for creating a JAVA based application. It has an auto guide option

which automatically guides u about how to remove the errors appearing in the code. And

also helps in debugging those errors. JAVA applications helps in interacting with the user and

making the work easier and convenient. JAVA also provides connection to DATABASE and

syncing the software with the SQL database for storing and retrieving records of different

users. Connection to database greatly helps in creating and full fledged and efficient Java

Application.

About JAVA

Java is a set of several computer software products and specifications from Oracle Corporation that provides a system for developing application software and deploying it in a cross-platform computing environment. Java is used in a wide variety of computing platforms from embedded devices and mobile phones on the low end, to enterprise servers and supercomputers on the high end. While less common, Java applets are sometimes used to provide improved and secure functions while browsing the World Wide Web on desktop computers.

There are, however, bytecode compilers available for other languages such as Ada, JavaScript, Python, and Ruby. Several new languages have been designed to run natively on the Java Virtual Machine (JVM), such as Scala, Clojure and Groovy. Java syntax borrows heavily from C and C++, but object-oriented features are modeled after Smalltalk and Objective-C. Java eliminates certain low-level constructs such as pointers and has a very simple memory model where every object is allocated on the heap and all variables of object types are references. Memory management is handled through

integrated automatic garbage collection performed by the JVM

8

Java Virtual Machine

The heart of the Java platform is the concept of a "virtual machine" that executes  Java

bytecode programs. This bytecode is the same no matter what hardware or operating system

the program is running under. There is a JIT (Just In Time) compiler within the Java Virtual

Machine, or JVM. The JIT compiler translates the Java bytecode into native processor

instructions at run-time and caches the native code in memory during execution.

The use of bytecode as an intermediate language permits Java programs to run on any

platform that has a virtual machine available. The use of a JIT compiler means that Java

applications, after a short delay during loading and once they have "warmed up" by being all

or mostly JIT-compiled, tend to run about as fast as native programs.Since JRE version 1.2,

Sun's JVM implementation has included a just-in-time compiler instead of an interpreter.

Although Java programs are cross-platform or platform independent, the code of the Java

Virtual Machines (JVM) that execute these programs is not. Every supported operating

platform has its own JVM.

9

JAVA Swing Application

Swing is a graphical user interface library for the Java SE platform. It is possible to

specify a different look and feel through the pluggable look and feel system of Swing. Clones

of Windows, GTK+ and Motif are supplied by Sun. Apple also provides an Aqua look and

feel for Mac OS X. Where prior implementations of these looks and feels may have been

considered lacking, Swing in Java SE 6 addresses this problem by using more native GUI

widget drawing routines of the underlying platforms.

This example Swing application creates a single window with "Hello, world!" inside:

import javax.swing.*; public class Hello extends JFrame { public Hello() { super("hello"); super.setDefaultCloseOperation(WindowConstants.EXIT_ON_CLOSE); super.add(new JLabel("Hello, world!")); super.pack(); super.setVisible(true); } public static void main(final String[] args) { new Hello(); }}

The first import includes all of the public classes and interfaces from

the javax.swing package.

The Hello class extends the JFrame class; the JFrame class implements a window with

a title bar and a close control.

10

The Hello() constructor initializes the frame by first calling the superclass constructor,

passing the parameter "hello", which is used as the window's title. It then calls

the setDefaultCloseOperation(int) method inherited from JFrame to set the default

operation when the close control on the title bar is selected to

WindowConstants.EXIT_ON_CLOSE — this causes the JFrame to be disposed of when

the frame is closed (as opposed to merely hidden), which allows the Java virtual machine to

exit and the program to terminate. Next, a JLabel is created for the string "Hello,

world!" and the add(Component) method inherited from the Containersuperclass is called to

add the label to the frame. The pack() method inherited from the Window superclass is called

to size the window and lay out its contents.

The main() method is called by the Java virtual machine when the program starts.

It instantiates a new Hello frame and causes it to be displayed by calling

the setVisible(boolean) method inherited from the Component superclass with the boolean

parameter true. Once the frame is displayed, exiting the main method does not cause the

program to terminate because the AWT event dispatching thread remains active until all of

the Swing top-level windows have been disposed.

11

JAVA Applet

Java applets are programs that are embedded in other applications, typically in a Web

page displayed in a Web browser.

import javax.swing.JApplet;import java.awt.Graphics; public class Hello extends JApplet { public void paintComponent(final Graphics g) { g.drawString("Hello, world!", 65, 95); }}

The import statements direct the Java compiler to include

the javax.swing.JApplet and java.awt.Graphics classes in the compilation. The import

statement allows these classes to be referenced in the source code using the simple class

name (i.e. JApplet) instead of the  fully qualified class name (FQCN,

i.e. javax.swing.JApplet).

The Hello class extends (subclasses) the JApplet (Java Applet) class; the JApplet class

provides the framework for the host application to display and control the lifecycle of the

applet. The JApplet class is a JComponent (Java Graphical Component) which provides the

applet with the capability to display a graphical user interface (GUI) and respond to

user events.

The Hello class overrides the paintComponent(Graphics) method (additionally

indicated with the annotation, supported as of JDK 1.5, Override) inherited from

the Container superclass to provide the code to display the applet.

The paintComponent() method is passed a Graphics object that contains the graphic context

used to display the applet. The paintComponent() method calls the graphic

context drawString(String, int, int) method to display the "Hello, world!" string at

a pixel offset of (65, 95) from the upper-left corner in the applet's display.

12

<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01//EN""http://www.w3.org/TR/html4/strict.dtd"><!-- Hello.html --><html> <head> <title>Hello World Applet</title> </head> <body> <applet code="Hello.class" width="200" height="200"> </applet> </body></html>

An applet is placed in an HTML document using the <applet> HTML element.

The applet tag has three attributes set: code="Hello" specifies the name of the JApplet class

and width="200" height="200" sets the pixel width and height of the applet. Applets may

also be embedded in HTML using either the object or embed element, although support for

these elements by Web browsers is inconsistent. However, the applet tag is deprecated, so

the object tag is preferred where supported.

Reservation System

The Indian reservation system has a special online ticketing website for booking and cancellation of the railway train tickets. The Indian Railway Catering and Tourism Corporation provides the facility of online reservation system.

Basic UI of IRCTC

The web app of IRCTC contains a user login with registered credentials. The login page saved cookies for only few seconds thus this website takes a lot of time to load fully. Then The

14

Home page asks for the source and the destination details of the train . When you click on “Find Trains” the loader retrieves the list of trains for particular destination. But this feature takes a lot of time to load.

Rervation System Using JAVA

I have focused on all the missing features and all the slow working features of irctc and

updated those features in my software. My JAVA application contains all the missing features

of irctc and is very efficient . It takes very less time to login and display HOME page. It has a

feature which saves the favourite journey spot details which can be easily accessed in future

via “Favourites “ tab. My project is designed on the tool called NETBEANS.

About NETBEANS

NetBeans is an integrated development environment (IDE) for developing primarily

with Java, but also with other languages, in particular PHP, C/C++, and HTML5. It is also

an application platform framework for Java desktop applications and others.

The NetBeans IDE is written in Java and can run on Windows, OS X, Linux, Solaris and

other platforms supporting a compatible JVM.

The NetBeans Platform allows applications to be developed from a set of modular software

components called modules. Applications based on the NetBeans Platform (including the

NetBeans IDE itself) can be extended by third party developers.

The NetBeans Team actively support the product and seek future suggestions from the wider

community. Every release is preceded by a time for Community testing and feedback

15

NetBeans IDE is an open-source integrated development environment. NetBeans IDE

supports development of all Java application types (Java SE (including JavaFX), Java

ME, web, EJB and mobile applications) out of the box. Among other features are an Ant-

based project system, Maven support, refactorings, version

control (supporting CVS, Subversion, Git, Mercurial and Clearcase).

Modularity: All the functions of the IDE are provided by modules. Each module

provides a well defined function, such as support for theJava language, editing, or support for

the CVS versioning system, and SVN. NetBeans contains all the modules needed for Java

development in a single download, allowing the user to start working immediately. Modules

also allow NetBeans to be extended. New features, such as support for other programming

languages, can be added by installing additional modules. For instance, Sun Studio, Sun Java

Studio Enterprise, and Sun Java Studio Creator from Sun Microsystems are all based on the

NetBeans IDE.

16

License: From July 2006 through 2007, NetBeans IDE was licensed under

Sun's Common Development and Distribution License (CDDL), a license based on

the Mozilla Public License (MPL). In October 2007, Sun announced that NetBeans would

henceforth be offered under a dual license of the CDDL and the GPL version 2 licenses, with

the GPL linking exception for GNU Classpath.

Localization (Netbeans)

NetBeans IDE is translated into the following languages:

Brazilian Portuguese (BR), as of 5.5

Japanese (JP), as of 3.4

Simplified Chinese (ZH)

Key Benefits of Java

Why use Java at all? Is it worth learning a new language and a new platform? This section explores some of the key benefits of Java.

1. Write Once, Run Anywhere

Sun identifies "Write once, run anywhere" as the core value proposition of the Java platform. Translated from business jargon, this means that the most important promise of Java technology is that you only have to write your application once--for the Java platform--and then you'll be able to run it anywhere.

Anywhere, that is, that supports the Java platform. Fortunately, Java support is becoming ubiquitous. It is integrated, or being integrated, into practically all major operating systems. It is built into the popular web browsers, which places it on virtually every Internet-connected PC in the world. It is even being built into consumer electronic devices, such as television set-top boxes, PDAs, and cell phones

.

2.Security

Another key benefit of Java is its security features. Both the language and the platform were designed from the ground up with security in mind. The Java platform allows users to download untrusted code over a network and run it in a secure environment in which it cannot do any harm: it cannot infect the host system with a virus, cannot read or write files from the hard drive, and so forth. This capability alone makes the Java platform unique.

The Java 2 Platform takes the security model a step further. It makes security levels and restrictions highly configurable and extends them beyond applets. As of Java 1.2, any Java code, whether it is an applet, a servlet, a JavaBeans component, or a complete Java application, can be run with restricted permissions that prevent it from doing harm to the host system.

The security features of the Java language and platform have been subjected to intense scrutiny by security experts around the world. Security-related bugs, some of them potentially serious, have been found and promptly fixed. Because of the security promises Java makes, it is big news when a new security bug is found. Remember, however, that no other mainstream platform can make security guarantees nearly as strong as those Java makes. If Java's security

19

is not yet perfect, it has been proven strong enough for practical day-to-day use and is certainly better than any of the alternatives.

3. Network-centric Programming

Sun's corporate motto has always been "The network is the computer." The designers of the Java platform believed in the importance of networking and designed the Java platform to be network-centric. From a programmer's point of view, Java makes it unbelievably easy to work with resources across a network and to create network-based applications using client/server or multitier architectures. This means that Java programmers have a serious head start in the emerging network economy.

4. Dynamic, Extensible Programs

Java is both dynamic and extensible. Java code is organized in modular object-oriented units called classes. Classes are stored in separate files and are loaded into the Java interpreter only when needed. This means that an application can decide as it is running what classes it needs and can load them when it needs them. It also means that a program can dynamically extend itself by loading the classes it needs to expand its functionality.

The network-centric design of the Java platform means that a Java application can dynamically extend itself by loading new classes over a network. An application that takes advantage of these features ceases to be a monolithic block of code. Instead, it becomes an interacting collection of independent software components. Thus, Java enables a powerful new metaphor of application design and development.

5. Internationalization

The Java language and the Java platform were designed from the start with the rest of the world in mind. Java is the only commonly used programming language that has internationalization features at its very core, rather than tacked on as an afterthought. While most programming languages use 8-bit characters that represent only the alphabets of English and Western European languages, Java uses 16-bit Unicode characters that represent the phonetic alphabets and ideographic character sets of the entire world. Java's internationalization features are not restricted to just low-level character representation, however. The features permeate the Java platform, making it easier to write internationalized programs with Java than it is with any other environment.

20

6. Performance

As I described earlier, Java programs are compiled to a portable intermediate form known as byte codes, rather than to native machine-language instructions. The Java Virtual Machine runs a Java program by interpreting these portable byte-code instructions. This architecture means that Java programs are faster than programs or scripts written in purely interpreted languages, but they are typically slower than C and C++ programs compiled to native machine language. Keep in mind, however, that although Java programs are compiled to byte code, not all of the Java platform is implemented with interpreted byte codes. For efficiency, computationally intensive portions of the Java platform--such as the string-manipulation methods--are implemented using native machine code.

Although early releases of Java suffered from performance problems, the speed of the Java VM has improved dramatically with each new release. The VM has been highly tuned and optimized in many significant ways. Furthermore, many implementations include a just-in-time compiler, which converts Java byte codes to native machine instructions on the fly. Using sophisticated JIT compilers, Java programs can execute at speeds comparable to the speeds of native C and C++ applications.

Java is a portable, interpreted language; Java programs run almost as fast as native, non-portable C and C++ programs. Performance used to be an issue that made some programmers avoid using Java. Now, with the improvements made in Java 1.2, performance issues should no longer keep anyone away. In fact, the winning combination of performance plus portability is a unique feature no other language can offer.

7. Programmer Efficiency and Time-to-Market

The final, and perhaps most important, reason to use Java is that programmers like it. Java is an elegant language combined with a powerful and well-designed set of APIs. Programmers enjoy programming in Java and are usually amazed at how quickly they can get results with it. Studies have consistently shown that switching to Java increases programmer efficiency. Because Java is a simple and elegant language with a well-designed, intuitive set of APIs, programmers write better code with fewer bugs than for other platforms, again reducing development time.
