Transactions are managed via Hibernate along with the industry standard enterprise
application server JBOSS.
ATS is used to automate airlines flight scheduling and online booking system, spread over
several airports in Malaysia. The open source Ecipse IDE is used to build the application using
EJB sessions, Struts framework, JSPs, JavaScript and HTML. It was first tested locally on the
development server, released for testing the application on QA server and then on the staging
server server for client acceptance before deploying on the production server. The team is
currently engaged in preparing for a beta release with support for internationalization.

I was responsible for the requirements analysis, system architecture and design and driving
the team towards implementation.

Responsibilities:

• Analyze client’s requirements.

• Select appropriate technologies for the project (required to be extensible and
pluggable with future modules like accounting and inventory)
• Preparing architectural drawings and driving use cases
• Help develop wire frames for application mockup in HTML
• Developing documentation – Project Approach document, technologies used, staffing,
planning iterations, project build hierarchy, and User Manual.
• Introducing the application to the end users during the pilot testing.
• Used ant scripts to extract source files from CVS repository to build jar file for
deployment on the application server.

Environment: HTML, JDBC , JAVA, JavaScript, Struts Framework, JSP, PostgreSQL, Linux,
JBOSS Application Server, and Eclipse IDE, CVS and Hibernate.

device’s networking capabilities and download the day’s job. They interact with the application
remotely to update their job activities, maintain their accounts on the device and periodically
updates summaries to the server and request resources in carrying out their work. The
application maintains a database of mobile users, customers, resources and accounts.
