1. INTRODUCTION:
1.2 About the project
Suspicious email detection is a kind of mailing system where suspicious users are identified by
determining the keywords used by him/her. The keywords such as bomb,RDX., are found
in the mails which are sent by the user. All these blocked mails are checked by the
administrator and identify the users who sent such mails.
This is very useful in real-time scenario in which you can resume the anti-social activities.It
consists 5 modules:
The users of this system are compose mails to the other users who are authenticated
already. If the composed mails consist of the keywords such as bomb, RDX, Terrorist etc.
These suspected mails are blocked or discarded by the administrator so that they cannot be
forwarded. This system is designed such a way that the users can easily interact with the
system with minimum knowledge to browse the internet.

3. SYSTEM ANALYSIS
3.1 Hardware and Software Specifications
The development of this project deals with the following environment
Hardware requirements
Software requirements

Hardware Requirements:
The selection of hardware is very important in the existence and proper working of
any software. In the selection of hardware, the size and the capacity requirements are also
important.
The suspicious email detection can be efficiently run on Pentium system with at
least 128 MB RAM and Hard disk drive having 20 GB. Floppy disk drive of 1.44 MB and
14 inch Samsung color monitor suits the information system operation.(A Printer is
required for hard copy output).

Software Requirements:
One of the most difficult tasks is that, the selection of the software, once system
requirement is known is determining whether a particular software package fits the
requirements. After initial selection further security is needed to determine the desirability
of particular software compared with other candidates. This section first summarizes the
application requirement question and then suggests more detailed comparisons.

4. SYSTEM DESIGN
Design Description:
Design is essentially a blue print or it acts as a bridge between the requirement
specification and the final solution for satisfying the requirements.
Based on the work-flow described above we can draw the following conclusions for
the Software System that has to be developed:
The System needs to be a web-based system so that it allows the admin & clients to
access the secure mail over the Internet.
Being a web-based system, it enables the users to send e-mails to other users who are
already registered. An added advantage is since the e-mail is delivered instantly, there
could be instant responses from the admin if any suspicious emails are detected.
The whole process depends on communications between admin & the users. If all these
communications are done through a web-based system, then the time period for the
whole process can be considerably brought down.
The System needs to store the details of all the information (sent mails, composed mails
etc) held by all the users.
The System needs to store the details of all the requirements held by the different users.

PARADIGM OF JAVA
ABOUT HTML
HTML (hyper text markup language) is a language used to create hyper text
documents that have hyper links embedded in them . it consists of tags embedded in the
text of a document with HTML. We can build web pages or web document s. it is basically
a formatting language and not a programming language. The browser reading the document
interprets mark up tags to help format the document for subsequent display to a reader.
HTML is a language for describing structured documents. HTML is a platform
independent. WWW(world wide web) pages are written using HTML. HTML tags control
in part the representation of the WWW page when view with web browser. The browser
interpretes HTML tags in the web document and displays it. Different browsers show data
differently. Examples of browsers used to be web pages include:
Netscape
Internet Explorer
JAVA SCRIPT
Java script is a general purpose , prototype based , object oriented scripting
language developed jointly by sun and netscape and is meant for the WWW . it is designed
to be embedded in diverse applications and systems , with out consuming much memory .
java script borrows most of its syntax from java but also inherits from awk and perl , with
some indirect influence from self in its object prototype system.
Java scripts dynamically typed that is programs donot declare variable types, and
the type of variable is unrestricted and can change at runtime . source can be generated at
14
run time and evaluated against an arbitrary scope. Typical implementations compile by
translating source into a specified byte code format, to check syntax and source
consistency. Note that the availability to generate and interprate programs at runtime
implies the presence of a compiler at runtime.
Java script is a high level scripting language that does not depend on or expose
particular machine representations or operating system services. It provides automatic
storage management, typically using a garbage collector.
FEATURES:
ADVANTAGES
1. java script can be used for client side application
2. java script provides means to contain multiframe windows for
presentation of the web.
3. java script provides basic data validation before it is sent to the
server. Eg : login and password checking or whether the values
entered are correct or whether all fields in a from are filled and
reduced network traffic
4. it creates interactive forms and client side lookup tables .

ORACLE
INTRODUCTION:
Oracle is a relational database management system, which organizes data in the form
of tables. Oracle is one of many database servers based on RDBMS model, which manages
a seer of data that attends three specific things-data structures, data integrity and data
manipulation. With oracle cooperative server technology we can realize the benefits of
open, relational systems for all the applications. Oracle makes efficient use of all systems
resources, on all hardware architecture; to deliver unmatched performance, price
performance and scalability. Any DBMS to be called as RDBMS has to satisfy
Dr.E.F.Codds rules.
ORACLE IS PORTABLE:
The Oracle RDBMS is available on wide range of platforms ranging from PCs to super
computers and as a multi user loadable module for Novel NetWare, if you develop
application on system you can run the same application on other systems without any
modifications.
ORACLE IS COMPATIBLE:
Oracle commands can be used for communicating with IBM DB2 mainframe RDBMS
that is different from Oracle, that is Oracle compatible with DB2. Oracle RDBMS is a
high performance fault tolerant DBMS, which is specially designed for online
transaction processing and for handling large database applications.
JDBC DRIVERS:
16
The JDBC API only defines interfaces for objects used for performing
various database-related tasks like opening and closing connections, executing SQL
commands, and retrieving the results. We all write our programs to interfaces and not
implementations. Either the resource manager vendor or a third party provides the
implementation classes for the standard JDBC interfaces. These software implementations
are called JDBC drivers. JDBC drivers transform the standard JDBC calls to the external
resource manager-specific API calls. The diagram below depicts how a database client
written in java accesses an external resource manager using the JDBC API and JDBC
driver:
Depending on the mechanism of implementation, JDBC drivers are broadly classified into
four types.
TYPE1:
Type1 JDBC drivers implement the JDBC API on top of a lower level API like ODBC.
These drivers are not generally portable because of the independency on native libraries.
These drivers translate the JDBC calls to ODBC calls and ODBC sends the request to
external data source using native library calls. The
17
TYPE2:
Type2 drivers are written in mixture of java and native code. Type2 drivers use vendors
specific native APIs for accessing the data source. These drivers transform the JDBC calls
to vendor specific calls using the vendors native library.
These drivers are also not portable like type1 drivers because of the dependency on native
code.
TYPE3:
Type3 drivers use an intermediate middleware server for accessing the external data
sources. The calls to the middleware server are database independent. However, the
middleware server makes vendor specific native calls for accessing the data source. In this
case, the driver is purely written in java.
TYPE4:
Type4 drivers are written in pure java and implement the JDBC interfaces and translate the
JDBC specific calls to vendor specific access calls. They implement the data transfer and
network protocol for the target resource manager. Most of the leading database vendors
provide type4 drivers for accessing their database servers.
DRIVER MANAGER AND DRIVER:
The java.sql package defines an interface called
Java.sql.Driver that makes to be implemented by all the JDBC drivers and a class called
java.sql.DriverManager that acts as the interface to the database clients for performing tasks
like connecting to external resource managers, and setting log streams. When a JDBC client
requests the DriverManager to make a connection to an external resource manager, it
delegates the task to an approate driver class implemented by the JDBC driver provided
either by the resource manager vendor or a third party.
18
JAVA.SQL.DRIVERMANAGER:
MANAGING DRIVERS:
JDBC clients specify the JDBC URL when they request a
connection. The driver manager can find a driver that matches the request URL from the list
of register drivers and delegate the connection request to that driver if it finds a match
JDBC URLs normally take the following format:
<protocol>:<sub-protocol>:<resource>
The protocol is always jdbc and the sub-protocol and resource depend on the type of
resource manager. The URL for postgreSQL is in the format:
Jdbc: postgres ://< host> :< port>/<database>
Here host is the host address on which post master is running and database is the name of
the database to which the client wishes to connect.
MANAGING CONNECTION:
DriverManager class is responsible for managing connections to the databases:
public static Connection getConnection (String url,Properties info) throws
SQLException
This method gets a connection to the database by the specified JDBC URL using
the specified username and password. This method throws an instance of SQLException if
a database access error occurs.
19
CONNECTIONS:
The interface java.sql.Connection defines the methods required for a persistent
connection to the database. The JDBC driver vendor implements this interface. A database
vendor-neutral client never uses the implementation class and will always use only the
interface. This interface defines methods for the following tasks:
Statements, prepared statements, and callable statements are the different types
of statements for issuing sql statements to the database by the JDBC clients.
CREATING STATEMENTS:
The interface java.sql.Connection defines a set of methods for
creating database statements. Database statements are used for sending SQL statements to
the database:
Public Statement createStatement () throws SQLException
This method is used for creating instances of the interface java.sql.Statement. This interface
can be used for sending SQL statements to the database. The interface java.sql.Statement is
normally used for sending SQL statements that dont take any arguments. This method
throws an instance of SQLException if a database access error occur:
Public Statement createStatement (int resType, int resConcurrency) throws
SQLException
JDBC RESULTSETS:
20
statements. JDBC resultsets are represented by the interface java.sql.ResultSet. The JDBC
vendor provider provides the implementation class for this interface.
SCROLLING RESULTSETS:
Method name
and Purpose
STATEMENT:
21
The interface java.sql.Stament is normally used for sending SQL statements that do
not have IN or OUT parameters. The JDBC driver vendor provides the implementation
class for this interface. The common methods required by the different JDBC statements
are defined in this interface. The methods defined by java.sql. Statement can be broadly
categorized as follows:
The interface java.sql.statements defines methods for executing different SQL statements
like SELECT, UPDATE, INSERT, DELETE, and CREATE.
Public Resultset execute Query (string sql) throws SQLException

INTRODUCTION:
Java Server Pages (JSP) technology enables you to mix regular, static HTML with
dynamically generated content. You simply write the regular HTML in the normal manner,
using familiar Web-page-building tools. You then enclose the code for the dynamic parts in
special tags, most of which start with <% and end with %>.
BENEFITS OF JSP:
It is easier to write and maintain the HTML: In this no extra backslashes, no double
quotes, and no lurking Java syntax.
HTML tools that know nothing about JSP can used because they simply ignore the JSP
tags.
developers can concatenate on the representation layer. On large projects, this division
is very important. Depending on the size of your team and the complexity of your
project, you can enforce a weaker or stronger separation between the static HTML and
the dynamic content.
23
JSP scripting elements allow you to insert Java code into the servlet that will be
generated from the JSP page. There are three forms:
1.
Expressions of the form <%=Java Expression %>, which are evaluated and
inserted into the servlets output.
2.
Sciptlets of the form <%Java code %>, which are inserted into the
servlets_jspService method (called by service).
3.
24
A JSP element is used to insert values directly into the output. It has the following form:
<%= Java Expression %>
The expression is evaluated, converted to a string, and inserted in the page. This evaluation
is performed at runtime (when the page is requested) and thus has full access to the
information about the request. For example, the following shows the date/time that the page
was requested.
Current time: <%=new java.util.Date () %>
PREDEFINED VARIABLES:
To simplify expressions we can use a number of predefined variables (or implicit
objects). The specialty of these variables is that, the system simple tells what names it will
use for the local variables in _jspService.The most important ones of these are:
application, the ServletContext. This is a data structure shared by all servlets and
JSP pages in the web application and is good for storing shared data.
Here is an example:
Your hostname: <%= request.getRemoteHost () %>
COMPARING SERVLETS TO JSP PAGES
JSP works best when the structure of the HTML page is fixed but the values at various
places need to be computed dynamically. If the structure of the page is dynamic, JSP is less
beneficial. Some times servlets are better in such a case. If the page consists of binary data
or has little static content, servlets are clearly superior. Sometimes the answer is neither
servlets nor JSP alone, but rather a combination of both.
WRITING SCRIPTLETS
25
If you want to do something more complex than output the value of a simple expression
.JSP scriptlets let you insert arbitrary code into the servlets
_jspService method.
variable) definitions, method definitions, inner class definitions, or even static initializer
blocks: anything that is legal to put inside a class definition but outside any existing
methods. In practice declarations almost always contain field or method definitions.
We should not use JSP declarations to override the standard servlet life cycle methods. The
servlet into which the JSP page gets translated already makes use of these methods. There is
no need for declarations to gain access to service, doget, or dopost, since calls to service are
automatically dispatched to _jspService , which is where code resulting from expressions
and scriptlets is put. However for initialization and cleanup, we can use jspInit and
jspDestroy- the standard init and destroy methods are guaranteed to call these methods in
the servlets that come from JSP.

JAKARTA TOMCAT
Tomcat is the Servlet/JSP container. Tomcat implements the Servlet 2.4
and
JavaServer Pages 2.0 specification. It also includes many additional features that make it a
useful platform for developing and deploying web applications and web services.

check if it might fall in any possible situation. This testing was carried out during the
programming itself. At the end of this testing phase, each unit was found to be working
satisfactory, as regard to the expected output from the module.
5.2 Integration Testing
The second step in the testing process is the Integration testing. Integration testing
is the systematic technique for constructing the program structure while conducting tests to
uncover errors associated with interfacing. All the modules when unit testing will work
properly but after interfacing the data can be lost across an interface, one module can have
an inadvertent, adverse effect on other, sub functions when combined may not produce the
desired major function, global data structures can cause problems, etc.
Integration testing was performed by integrating all the individual modules and the
activities of the user such as loading layers, retrieving information from any functions
applying themes based on the records present in the database etc. and is found that it works
good to the examination of the end users. Hence, the objective of integration testing is to
take unit tested modules and build a final program structure.
All the modules developed are independent. Even the whole process of approval for
all. Each module is integrated well with other modules. And all the interfaces are tested
successfully.
5.3 Functional Testing
This test involves testing the system under typical operating conditions with sample
input values. Functional testing was performed on the system by giving existing industry id
or plot number and a null or string as the input for any field in which case the user should
be redirected to the same state with the appropriate message, rather than proceeding and
crashing in the system.
Functional testing was performed on the system by raising the demand with an eye
to check all the validations. The total processing of the system is satisfactory with the
following results.
All the validations are clearly notified to the user regarding jobseekers reg, new client
reg, job order, job providers, and job search preparation etc.
Almost all the functional errors, data storage errors and all types of logical errors are
tested successfully.
30
5.5 Implementation
Implementation includes all those activities that take place to convert the old system
to the new system .The new system will replace he existing system. The aspects of
implementation are as follows.
Conversion, Post Implementation Review.
Conversion
Conversion means changing from one system to another. The objective is to put the
tested system into operation. It involves proper installation of the software package
developed and training the operating staff.
The software has been installed and found to be functioning properly. The users
how to be trained to handle the system effectively. Sample data provide to the operating
stuff and were asked to operate on the system. The operating stuffs now have a clear out
look of the software and are ready for practical implementation of the package.

8. APPENDICES
8.1 Appendix A
Core Technologies in J2EE:
Java Servlet Technology - Servlets are platform-independent, 100% pure Java serverside modules that fit seamlessly into a web server framework and can be used to extend
the capabilities of a web server with minimal overhead, maintenance, and support
itself & only data that is to be shown in the browser is sent across to the browser. To
achieve the first objective JavaScript is the best solution available.
The best example that can be given is if in a login page the user presses the login
button without entering any text for either the user name or password fields, it will be a
waste of time to go back to the server & check for validations there. JavaScript has been
used in these situations, which will check for the validations on the client browser & save a
lot of time being wasted.
JavaScript was developed by Netscape & is modeled very closely on the Java
language. This makes it a natural choice to complement JSP for the development of the
client tier. The reference Manual of JavaScript [JS-NET], has been referred to extensively
while using JavaScript in the Project.
Business Logic Tier
The Business logic tier comprises a whole set of Java classes .
Internet Services
For access to Internet services, J2EE supports the HTTP, TCP/IP, and SSL
protocols.
TCP/IP (Transport Control Protocol over Internet Protocol) provides a mechanism to
establish connections and reliably deliver streams of data between Internet hosts.
HTTP (HyperText Transfer Protocol) is the basis of Internet browsers and Web
servers. A client makes an HTTP request to a server, and HTML hypertext is
returned via HTTP.
SSL (Secure Socket Layer) provides a secure mechanism for clients to access hosts on the
Internet, without someone tampering or accessing the messages. In addition, new
extensible Markup Language (XML) functionality is supported in J2EE 1.3. XML provides
tagged data similar to HTML, but the tags describe the data rather than the way the data is
displayed. XML can be used to transfer formatted data between applications or servers on
the Internetfor example, for supporting transactions between businesses (B2B). Support
for parsing XML and representing XML as objects is implemented and is being currently
standardized.
Application Configurations Supported by the J2EE Architecture
The J2EE architecture can be used to configure various multitier applications.
In a typical multitier Web application, a Web server implemented using JSP or servlets
sends HTML or XML to a Web browser client. It generates dynamic content by making
35
calls to database systems or existing enterprise services using JNDI, JDBC, JavaIDL, and
other J2EE supported technologies (see Figure below - Multitier Application with Web
Server/JSP Interface and EJB Middle Tier).
A multitier J2EE application uses Web components and accesses multiple
databases, with Enterprise JavaBeans in between to encapsulate more complex business
logic than could be supported in JSP alone (see Figure below - Multitier Application with
Web Server/JSP Interface and EJB Middle Tier). EJBs also automate the transaction
monitoring required to access multiple databases.

Database
databases to store the persistent data. In view of this the best option to store persistent data
for the application is a Relational Database system.
The JDBC provides support for two and three-tier database access models.
If you use the two-tier database access model, your Java application talks directly to
the database. The results of these commands are then sent back from the database directly
to the application.
When you use three-tier model, youre your JDBC sends commands to a middletier, which in turns sends commands to the database. The results of these commands are
then sent back to the middle-tier, which communicates them to the application.
JDBC-ODBC Bridge
It provides JDBC access to databases through ODBC drivers. The ODBC driver
must be configured on the client for the bridge to work.
Native-API
37
The native-API driver converts JDBC commands into DBMS-specific native calls. The
client must have some binary code loaded on its machine.
JDBC-Net, Pure Java Driver
The JDBC-Net drivers are a three-tier solution. This type of driver translates JDBC
calls into a database-independent network protocol that is sent to a middleware server. This
server then translates this DBMS-independent protocol into a DBMS-specific protocol,
which is sent to a particular database.
I selected Oracle for developing the project work because it supports RDBMS
features. Also it provides tools like SQL * PLUS, SQL*FORMS, SQL*REPORT
WRITER, SQL*MENUS. Also it supports high security to the Data and faster Accessing
capability.
It can be run on a variety of platforms and Operating systems. It provides Host
language procedures like PRO*C, PRO*COBOL. An application that requires many lines
38
of Host language code can be developed very easily. One can develop an Application easily
by providing User-friendly Environment Support for Codds Rules:
Oracle is portable
The Oracle RDBMS is available on wide range of platforms, ranging from PCs to
super computers and as a multi-user network loadable module (NLM) for Novell Netware.
If you develop an application on one system you can run the same application on other
systems without any modifications.
Oracle is Compatible
The Oracle command can be used for communicating with IBM, DB/2, Mainframe
RDBMS, which is different from Oracle, i.e., Oracle is compatible with DB/2. Oracle is a
high performance fault tolerant DBMS which is specially designed for on-line transaction
processing and for handling the large database applications.
Oracle RDBMS is available with 2 options
Oracle RDBMS version 8.0 with transaction processing option and Oracle RDBMS
version 8.0 without transaction processing option. Oracle is very high level of transaction
processing, throughout, which is as follows:
39
Forms 5.0
Oracle Tools
Oracle is RDBMS, which stores and displays the Data in the form of tables. A table
consists of rows and columns. A single row is called Record. Oracle is a modular system
that contains Oracle Database (DB Manager) and several Tools (Functional Programs).
Database management
Programming
Connectivity.
SQL* Plus is direct access to the Oracle RDBMS. You can see SQL commands to
define, control and manipulate and query data. All users like DBAs, high-level system
developers and others can talk straight in Oracle RDBMS.
Connectivity Tools
The connectivity tools help in connecting the Oracle databases through network and
to other database systems. SQL* Plus allows for accessing the IBM, DB/2 (an IBM
Mainframe RDBMS) and SQL/DS (Structured query language for data system) databases
directly using the normal Oracle commands without doing any modifications.
SQL
40
The name SQL stands for structure query language. SQL is data access language,
like any other language, it is used for communication. SQL communicates with database
manager. The database manager could be Oracle, DB2, and SQL base, in grace or any
RDBMS that supports SQL language. These database systems understand SQL.
SQL is easy to learn. Despite the fact that the SQL is a computer programming
language, it is much simpler than traditional programming language like COBOL, BASIC,
FORTRAN or APL. This is due to the fact that SQL is non-procedural language.
Features of SQL
SQL users a free form (A non mathematical syntax), English like structure for its
commands.
Ex: You select some data from your table, where certain conditions are met, you
insert your values into some table; you delete data from some table where conditions are
met. It is very logical and easy to follow.
SQL decides how it gets your data to and from database. All you have to specify is
what and SQL does the rest. This is being called non navigational and it promises large
productivity gains for the data processing identity. Sometimes programs in traditional
processing system can be replaced with a single SQL query.
1. Most traditional RDBMS support both interactive and static SQL processing i.e.
SQL statements can be executed in an alternative fashion where you talk directly to the
database manager or SQL statement can be embedded in traditional computer programming
language like COBOL. This is necessary because SQL is originally intended to use with
other programming language. By itself it has no commands for screen dialogue or for more
than crude report formatting. So this dual mode feature is very important in any kind of
formal data processing application. The embedded SQL statements themselves are very
simple to their interactive counter parts.
2. Finally, SQL process data at the set level, meaning your updates will change a
set of records (rows) and query output will comeback in a set of records (a result table)
41
Data processing activity. In fact most SQL based products all access to the data through
SQL.
1. Data definition language: DDL allows creation, deletion and modification of
data structures for bar system. These structures include tables, databases, and indexes.
Ex: Creation, Drop, Alter.
2. Data Manipulation Language: These commands are used to manipulate the data
in tables directly or through views. There are four standard DML statements. They are
Delete, Insert, and Update.
3.
Data control language: These commands are used to control usage and access
of data. The most commonly found ones are Grant and Revoke.
PL/SQL
PL/SQL is an extension to SQL. It allows us to use all the SQL data Manipulation
statements including insert, delete, update and select as well as the transaction processing
statements Commit, Rollback and save point.
PL/SQL blocks can contain any number of SQL combined with the following:
Advantages of PL/SQL
Procedural Capabilities.
Improved Performance
Enhanced Productivity
Portability
Procedural capabilities
PL/SQL is a TPL that offers procedural solutions. It supports variable and constant
declarations, error handling and a wide variety of useful functions within the same PL/SQL
block; we can use SQL and all the PL/SQL extensions.
Improved performance
Without PL/SQL the Oracle RDBMS must Process SQL statements one at a time.
Each SQL statement results in another call to be RDBMS and higher performance overhead
can become significant when we are issuing many SQL statements in a network
environment.
Enhanced Productivity
PL/SQL also brings added functionality to non-procedural tools Such as SQL
forms. With PL/SQL in these tools, software developers can use familiar procedural
language construct to develop applications.
Portability
Both PL/SQL and Oracle have their foundation in SQL also. Most PL/SQL variable
has Data types native to the RDBMS Data Dictionary
Main Features of SQL
SQL Data manipulation statements are built into PL/SQL. This allows inserting
new data into a database, retrieving, modifying and deleting data.
Support for SQL
By extending SQL, PL/SQL offers a unique combination of power and ease of use.
We can access our Oracle database and manipulate its data flexibly and safely because
PL/SQL supports SQL DML statements, SQL TPL statements, SQL functions and SQL
predicates. SQL data definition statements such as Alter, Create and Rename and data
control statements connect; Grant and Revoke statements are supported.
SQL Data Manipulation Statements:
43
A transaction is a sequence of SQL statements that Oracle treats as a unit, so that all
changes brought about by the statements are made permanent or undone for the same time.
The consistency of the database PL/SQL lets you use the Commit, Rollback and Save point
statements. The Commit statement makes permanent any changes made during the current
transaction until you commit your changes, other users cannot see them. The Rollback
statement ends the current transaction and undoes any changes made since the transaction
began. The Save point statement marks the current point in the processing of a transaction.

NOTATIONS USED IN DATA FLOW DIAGRAMS
The logic dataflow diagrams can be drawn using only four simple notations i.e.,
special symbols or icons and the annotation that associates them with a specific system.
Since the choice of notation we follow, does not affect impede or catalyze the system
process; we used three symbols from YOURDON notation and one from Gain and Sarson
notation as specified below.
Element References
symbols
Process
Data Store
Source or Sink
Description:
Process: describes how input data is converted to output Data
Data Store: Describes the repositories of data in a system
Data Flow: Describes the data flowing between process, Data stores and external
entities.
Sources: An external entity causing the origin of data.
Sink: An external entity, which consumes the data.
