Milestone 1: Coursework –An Online Student Accomodation System – 100 Marks

Scenario

The students of XYZ University are always seeking for properties for accommodation closer to their campus
area. To support the student needs the university is planning to host an online Student accommodation
system (SAS) to provide details of property-owners, their properties and of students seeking accommodation.

Some of the required functionalities of the system would be.

• The Student ID, First Name, Last name, address email and telephone number of propertyowners are
kept in SAS. Each property is allocated a unique identifier as well as details such as the address, type

iii
 CL/BSCSD/18/32

of property [ex: Flat, terraced house, detached house...etc.], the maximum number of tenants it is
suitable for and the amount of the rent. A fee is charged for each property that is added to the
system.

• Students can register with the service providing their Student ID, First Name, Last name, address
email and telephone number. The registered students will be provided with a list of available
properties. Further the student can request for viewing the properly and system will notify this to the
property-owners.

• The property-owners can update the system if their property is available or not available for rent.

• Also the system must have the facility to provide reports such as available properties, registered
students and current occupation details etc.

Use web based Java technologies to automate the above service.

Students are free to make necessary assumption on system design & granting access permissions according
to the scenario, but all suggestions must be well explained with the valid reasons.

Provide a well-designed, user friendly system addressing the following features: 

System should have differential access rights to the system users.
• Interactive user friendly interfaces
• Clear implementation of the business flow via the system.
• Design & implement suitable sets of reports, which you think will add more value to the
entire business

• Use test driven development and include test classes to test your application

Students are free to make necessary assumption on system design & granting access permissions
other than mentioned within the scenario, but all suggestions must be well explained with the valid
reasons.

Students can add any functionality which will enhance the system and make the proposed solution
more comprehensive.

Use Harvard referencing to properly acknowledge all the external sources you use.

System Requirement Specification

Introduction

During long time ago to now XYZ university students seeking for an accommodation area to
stay mainly when developing this web based accommodation system will directly helpful to
identify the places which they can stay. Basically this document shows how to implement
this system in interactive manner.

Scope

This is an online web based system. This will help to find proper accommodation which are
very closer to the university premises. This system will mainly show the details of land
owners and their properties.

Basically this system will help to login the specific user accounts. Such as, students have
capability to login to their accounts, basic requirements are fully filled like can view the
properties, search the properties, able to pass the request to the landowner and etc. Then
landowner will get the information through the email with student contact details. Above
mention scope is relevant only for the student side.

Then move to the landowner side, they can login to the system same as previously describe.
And they have capability to add any kind of properties in to the website. Properties may have
their own entities like property type, address, amount of property rent as well landowner can
edit and remove the property details.

Then move into the system admin side, they can view all the landowners and student’s
information. The admin has privileges to remove any kind of details in the system. As well
admin can do any activates though the system such as view/edit/remove properties and
accept it. Otherwise students cannot see it through the system. And as well after admin
accept the property then can ability to handle the payments. Admin has privilege to register
users. Ex: students as well as landowners. Once they have registered to the system they will
get unique username and password as system credentials.

4
 CL/BSCSD/18/32

System give us so many benefits to both parties of students and landowners. The students
can get accurate details to find out suitable accommodations. Because they have to submit
relevant details to university. Landowners have ability to send their property details to
specific students which can get largest demand to their system.

This online system is developed using the JAVA platform and used HTML & CSS & java
scripts for the frontend developments.

Overall Explanation

System Outline

As above mentioned this is a web built development. This development supports for the
students who needs accommodation so close to the university premises. Basically it
highlights major types of users. Such as, system admin, students and landowners. Landowner
has privilege to add any kind of property. System admin can able to distribute it.

Then student can able to see the specific properties and can contact relevant landowner. The
students also can send request to landowner and then landowners send email to specific
student who is willing to take land property. As well land owner can edit current status of the
property whether it is already rent or not. And also able to delete the property if unnecessary.
As well as system admin can remove or blocked the system users.

When preparing the web based application, there are having three schema planning.

This system has a database and store data to the database. In order to do that I use MYSQL
database as the DBMS.

In Business logical layer mainly highlighted the system validations and all the functionalities
those are implemented in the system need to work properly. The output of this layer will in
the JSON format.

The all user interfaces are handled the Presentation layer. This layer controls the links
between user interfaces. And as per the user type the interfaces are changed by the
Presentation layer. And also manage the user access from this layer.

Figure 1

Functional Requirement

 Register Students & Landowners: University students are registered by the admin.
Landowners also registered by the system admin. Landowner can give relevant
information to users.
 User login & Logout: Once system admin create account then will send the
username and password (system credentials) to user. If users want to logout the
system, simply they can press the logout tab and exit the system.
 Properties Request and View: Once student log to the system student can view
properties as well can search properties with specific names though the list of them.
Also they can request the searched properties by pressing request button in property
request page.

 Landlord add, update and delete property: Landowners has privilege to add new
properties to the system with relevant details such as images. Then landowners can
update property when there is any modification going on property by pressing on
update button. If there any unwanted property, then landowners can simply remove
them by pressing on the delete button.

 Delete users: Admin has the privilege to delete the system users. After deleting the
users, they will not appear in the users list.
 Admin accept & delete property: System admin has privilege to accept the
properties. After landowners adding the properties, admin must accept or reject the

6
 CL/BSCSD/18/32

properties. If property getting approved, then it will visible on the system. Otherwise
it not appears in the system.

Use Case Diagram

Figure 2

Non Functional Requirements

 This web based system should be responsive to each and every technical device like
mobile phones, laptops and desktops.
 Interfaces should be simple and easy to understand to anyone who is using the
system.
 System security must be high. Every user has unique system credentials. Therefore,
we need to implement well security mechanisms to the system.
 The system speed should be high. System must response at the accurate time and all
the activities must process quickly with minimum loading time.

7
 CL/BSCSD/18/32

Expectations
I assumed below mentioned facts when developing this web based system.

 Admin has privilege to register students as well landowners when student done the
relevant payment as rent. Then landowner will send the email requesting to create a
relevant account to the admin.
 When payment is done, specific property is added to the system.
 All emails will send though the SMTP server. Therefore, we have to configure the
SMTP server in order to send the emails from the system.
 Data access and logical layers perform as RESTFUL web services and output will be
in JSON format.
 JWT (Jason Web Token) is used to perform web authentication part.

Hardware

As web based development there is no need of having any hardware component

relevant. As above mentioned it should have privilege to run on web server.
Therefore, users have capability to access this web based system any technical device.

Software Interface

MYSQ used to create the database. As a web based system, JAVA platform is used to
develop the system. All the interfaces are mobile responsive. Therefore, the system must
compatible for all devices.

Process model

The Waterfall Model was the first Process Model to be introduced. It is very simple to
understand and use. In a Waterfall model, each phase must be completed before the next
phase can begin and there is no overlapping in the phases.

[ CITATION too19 \l 1033 ]

I used Waterfall model in order to develop this web based system. I have listed below the
steps:

Figure 11

 CL/BSCSD/18/32

Technical documentation

Frameworks & Technologies

I used spring framework for develop the system and used Maven as the construction tool.

Spring makes it easy to create Java enterprise applications. It provides everything you need to
embrace the Java language in an enterprise environment, with support for Groovy and Kotlin
as alternative languages on the JVM, and with the flexibility to create many kinds of
architectures depending on an application’s needs. [ CITATION spr19 \l 1033 ]

System Architecture

The system is developed using the three tires architecture. Basically we can list the three tires
as:

Figure 12

18
 CL/BSCSD/18/32

Figure 13

Controllers

In spring boot controllers, uses the RestController or the Controller annotations. It tells that this
controller category is prepared to be used by spring MVC to handle the incoming internet requests.

Figure 14

19
 CL/BSCSD/18/32

Interceptors

Interceptors are used to implement cross-cutting concerns, such as logging, auditing, and security,
from the business logic. I implemented the interpreters as follow to the system,

Figure 15

Interceptor can add to multiple URLs and URL patterns as below example. This interceptors
is located in the Configuration Class.

Figure 16

20
 CL/BSCSD/18/32

RestRequestService class

This service has used to sending the requests to one tier to another tire in both presentation
layer and business logic layer. HTTP GET and POST requests are handling in the
RestTemplate class.

Figure 17

21
 CL/BSCSD/18/32

This class is used GET and POST methods. Finally, this class return an object if the request is
successfully executed.

Model classes

The Java model is the set of classes that model the objects associated with creating, editing,
and building a Java program.

[ CITATION ecl19 \l 1033 ]

Data access layer

A data access layer (DAL) in computer software, is a layer of a computer program which provides simplified
access to data stored in persistent storage of some kind, such as an entity-relational database.[ CITATION
wik19 \l 1033 ]

All the database transactions are doing in this layer.

Figure 18

22
 CL/BSCSD/18/32

In the Properties Class, all the configurations are available as follow,

Figure 19

And also ports need to be changed according to web server configurations when deploying
the system in web server.

Business logic layer

The business logic provides data required by the presentation layer. The business logic layer is used
the JWT authentication method to communicate with the other layers.

This layer mainly deals with the end users. All the system interfaces are handling in this layer.

Figure 21

In this layer objects are saved as session. Then the sessions are handled by SessionService class.
AdminMiddleware used for validate users. With this validation the admin user only has the privilege
to access this page.

Deployment

In order to deploy the system, we have to configured web ports in application for all three
tires with correct server port values. This configuration can be find in the properties file.
After configuring the ports, we can build the project.

We can build the project by clicking on [ Maven Projects  Lifecycle  package] . Then the
project and .jar file will build. (jar file can find in the root) And make sure to import the
database on to the webserver before do the deployment.

Evaluate the design patterns

Singleton design pattern

The singleton pattern is a design pattern that restricts the instantiation of a class to one object.
Singleton pattern is one of the simplest design patterns in Java. I have used this design pattern
in my project in the data access layer. Following code snap shows the
DateTimeFormatService.java class and its functions.

Factory design pattern

Factory pattern is one of the most used design patterns in Java. This type of design pattern
comes under creational pattern as this pattern provides one of the best ways to create an
object.

[ CITATION tut19 \l 1033 ]

The factory pattern layer I have used in the EmailServiceInterface.java interface in order to
send emails once the users have registered to the system.

Abstract Factory design pattern

Abstract Factory design pattern is one of the Creational pattern. Abstract Factory pattern is
almost similar to Factory Pattern is considered as another layer of abstraction over factory
pattern. I didn’t use this design pattern in the project.

Testing
Test driven development

In the data access layer, I have used some test classes for testing the project. I used
CrudRepository to test insert, update and delete functions. Test classes is developed to
check these basic functions are working properly or not. If any of test class produce an
runtime error, it means there is a database failure or entity class issue. These test cases run
in every time when users run the project. And also we can run test cases separately to check
function by function separately.

Evaluate ethical & social consideration in developing the system

I used Intelij IDE to develop my project. It’s not a open source software. They have provided
the free trial period . I used it and completed my development using this IDE. I found lot of
cracking versions of this software, but as a practice I don’t use crack versions since it is not
ethical behavior.

MYSQL Workbench used to create databases and connections. Since workbench is open
source software I used it under the GPL license.

ALL the diagrams are designed using online free diagram designing tools. And specially lot
of cases I use Gliffy tool and I must say it is great tool for draw diagrams in a comprehensive
manner.

And all the web browsers can access the system and also mobile devices can access the web
system without any issue since all the interfaces are responsive.

In 1.2.5 Constraints I have mention about terms of use and privacy policy statements. This
system handles user personal information. Because of that we need to have these privacy
policy statements terms of use conditions.

I have used separate user accounts for every user for security functions. while not AN user
account you can't enter to the system. I even have offer enough security for the system as a
result of if not provided enough security for user personal data it may well be a legal issue per
data protection act 1998 in United Kingdom and it might bring discredit to the profession.
That’s why I implement enough security for this on-line student accommodation data system.

Conclusion

This web based system for university accommodation is implemented as a website for the purpose of
university students who are seeking accommodation. The users can be categorized as the student,
Landowner and System Admin users. Relevant tasks are allocated for specific users.

Under the three level schema architecture like database level, logical level and interface level
(Presentation/view level). Mainly Singleton design pattern used within Java Platform. This pattern is
manage the database operations of this web development.

For the front end development mainly used HTML,CSS, Bootstrap and JAVASCRIPT parallel with
the AngularJS like designing tools are used. Basically when consider abut interfaces in this web site
there can be categorized into two sections as dashboard and user area. CSS is styling tool along with
the Bootstrap used to make interactive web page to the users as well it should be responsive for the
each and every technical device such as, mobile phones, laptops and PCs. It should be more user
friendly if anyone can easily access.

Most important one is best security options are featured to this system because several users are
access this site and it need to be more security for the user’s usernames and passwords otherwise
unauthorized access can be attacked to the site and grab the personal details. Therefore, in the
implementation it should be add to the system for validate those login details to maintain proper
security purpose. Not only that email confirmation function and online payments procedures should
have proper security methods to secure information.

Finally, this accommodation web based system is implemented within relevant objective and time
frame as the purpose of acclamation process with fully safety, fast and success.
