After requirement elicitation, the use case diagrams were drawn as per the UML standards and the use case descriptions were agreed upon with the client before proceeding further. After the standard class diagrams and sequence diagrams, the database was designed. Since a relational database mysql is to be used, data base is modeled directly using the class diagram that was designed during the development phase. The entire user interfaces were developed as attractive web pages that will use Java Scripts on the client side and J2EE with struts and Hibernate platforms will be used as the server side programming language. Even the administrative screens are web pages so that the website can be hosted by an ISP in case the Molligoda & Com cannot get a leased line.
