| description | With the advent of the Web, the Internet has evolved into a user-friendly medium
capable of high speed, on demand information delivery. Putting data onto the World
Wide Web in the form of a fully accessible, searchable database can open up a wide
variety of possibilities for teaching, learning and research. There are many different
types of web-based database management system (DBMS), e.g., Oracle,
Informix/Illustra, IBM DB2, Object Design, ranging from small systems that run on
personal computers to huge systems that run on mainframes. However, these
systems have limitations such as being platform dependent, not portable and
expensive.
This thesis describes the development of WebDB, a platform independent webbased
data management system using Java servIets and random access files to
address the problems. It is developed in order to provide the management functions
to WebEd2000's database. WebEd2000 is a working prototype of Web-based
distance learning system developed at the Broadband and ATM Research Group,
Universiti Putra Malaysia (UPM). It enables delivering conventional lecture notes over the Web and providing various tools to help in managing and maintaining
course materials in a server. The WebDB approach is for the ease of the centralized management
of database administrator over the WebEd2000 users and maintains the
database. It also enables instructors to access to their database and update it when
necessary. Instead of WebEd2000 database, the system allows its users to put
another database on the server.
WebDB is mainly developed using the combination of Java servlets and JavaScript
technologies. The server-side servlets are used to handle the requests from client and
the responses from server. The random access file served as database repository in
the database server where all the data is stored. The client-side JavaScript is used to
enable DHTML features and perform less-security-concern processes in order to
reduce the workload of the web-server.
Lastly, WebEd can be easily set up and deployed in any platform and web-servers
with minimal modifications. Portability is achieved by utilizing Java technology for
the system applications and random access file as the data repository. |
