How to Build the Programming Exercise IV

---

The construction steps of an Internet-enabled Java system without including a database is repeated as below:


Electronic and mobile commerce systems are the most widely deployed IT systems in these days. The Exercise IV is to build an Internet-enabled Java system including a database by using the following steps including CGI, JDBC, and Oracle to create the system from the ground up:

1. Examining the exercise specifications very carefully,
2. Database and JDBC (or other host languages) setup,
3. Database design (E-R modeling or normalization),
4. Database implementation (SQL),
5. Web user interface construction [(X)HTML],
6. Calling a CGI script (Unix shell),
7. Calling a CGI script (Perl),
8. Database accessing embedded in Java host language (JDBC), and
9. Testing the exercise thoroughly.

These steps and tools are not definite nor unique. You may take other approaches. This approach has the following advantages and disadvantages:

• Advantages: It is powerful and flexible and has no problems implementing most web applications.


• Disadvantages: Primitive tools are used in this approach. Therefore, advanced programming skills are required.

I’m sorry but your business proposal is a day late and a dollar short (far too late).           You promised it two weeks ago and now we’ve already hired another firm.
