Introduction
Speedy and efficient information processing is crucial to our socially and highly
developed technology. Computer can help the intolerable burden of handling the ever increasing amount or information with government department, public services and
business concerns expected to contain because of their ability to analyze information
as well as to retain, update and reproduce it because of their versality to present it in a
variety of forms. This may also to some extent lead to problems occurring due to
information explosion.
About Project
POST OFFICE works in every walk of our life. Through the automation of thissystem one can easily generate the information about the customer available and also
about the old records.
For this efficient software the first and the foremost thing is that all the requirements
should be known before hand and the developer should devote its effort for the
completion of that requirement which are demanded by the customer should be
fulfilled. This system can be used in various education departments and can distribute
the copies of the system among the management and staff members for the required
information of their customer.
This very handy project for any user and includes following features:-
● Having customer information and total amount payable.
● for the help of user it displays each and every detail about required topics
● Maintains all the old record for later reference
● Have provision for automatic update as per the status
● System must handle user enquiry

Software Development Life Cycle
The Software Development Life Cycle, as outlined by Edward Yourdon in his book
modern structure analysis (1989) has been followed in this project with minor
modifications. The modified life cycle is shown overleaf.
The life cycle consists of the following activities:
1) SURVEY- This activity is also known as feasibility study. It begins with a
request from the user for a new system. It involves the following:
● Identify the responsible user for a new system.
● Clarify the user request
● Identify deficiencies in the current system
● Establish goals and objectives of new system
● Determine the feasibility for new system
● Prepare the project charter which will guide about the remainder of the
project
2) SYSTEM ANALYSIS – The objective of the system analysis activity is todevelop structured system specification for the proposed system. The
structured system specification should describe what the proposed system
would do; independent of the technology which will be used to implement
these requirements. The structured system specification will be used to
implement these requirements. The structured system specification will be
called the essential model (also known as logical model).
The essential model may itself consist of multiple models, modeling different
aspect of the system. Generally three models used for such purpose are:-
● DATA FLOW DIAGRAM (DFD) – It models the functioning of the
system. DFD may consist of following
● Context diagram
● Leveled Data Flow Diagram
● Process specification for Elementary Bubble
● Data dictionary for the flows and stores on the DFD
● ENTITY RELATIONSHIP DIAGRAM – It models the functioning
of the data and their relationship.
● STATE TRANSITION DIAGRAM – It models the time dependent behavior of the system.

3) PRELIMINARY DESIGN – This activity deals with certain design
issues, which are to be finalized in consultation with user. The two most
common design issues of relevance to the user are the automation boundary and the human machine interface. The output of the activity is the
user implementation model. The major part of the user implementation model
is the specification for the user interface of the proposed system. The user
implementation model is also referred to as the physical model of the proposed
system. The model, in addition to the essential model , defines the following
for the proposed system:
● Automation boundary
● Report layouts
● Layouts of the source documents
● Screen Layouts for the data entry form
● Menu
4) SYSTEM DESIGN – System design involves transformation of the user
implementation model into software design. The design specifications of the
proposed system consist of mainly database schema.
5) IMPLEMENTATION – This activity includes programming, testing and
integration of modules into a progressively more complete system.
6) ACCEPTANCE TEST GENERATION – This activity generates a set
of data that can be used to test the new system before accepting it.
7) QUALITY ASSURANCE – Assurance is also known as final testing.
This activity requires, as its input acceptance test data generated in acceptancetest generation and an integrated system produced by implementation.

Deficiencies of the manual system:
1. Lack of immediate retrieval of information - In manual system, lot of time is
wasted in retrieving information. Much searching is required before required is
found. This wastes a lot of time of the user as well as the person.
2. Lack of immediate information storage – In manual system, it is difficult to store
information at proper place at that very moment. This is because the person is
unable to quickly locate the place where the information is to be stored.
3. Prompts updating not possible – Changes are quite natural in all walks of life.
Information and stored data also changes from time to time. These changes
should be incorporated in the working also to keep the information up to date.
However, bringing about changes through the manual system is a slow and
tedious process because of which inaccurate information storage occurs.
4. Unplanned working – The manual system lacks the element of planned working.
Records are not properly maintained. This creates a lot of problems at times like
during information retrieval and storage
5. Insignificant generation of managerial and strategic reports. – In manual system,
reports for management are difficult to be generated and strategic reports are
impossible. This is because for these reports proper storage of information, its
retrieval and its filtering are very important and very tough in manual system.
6. Accuracy – The manual system lacks accuracy in working and a number of
operations may be performed incorrectly, the computations that are done in theorganization may be incorrect and whatever are generated in the system may be
inaccurate.
7. Reliability – The reliability of the manual system is considered to be low because
of the above given reasons including the fact that ‘TO error is human’. Any task
that is performed by men, always contain the risk of errors.
8. Redundancy of information – In manual system, particular information may be
stored at a number of places, lending to redundancy. Redundancy of data or
information creates a number of problems storage space is wasted; changes at one
place are to be made at a number of places and so on.

Goals of the proposed system
1. Immediate retrieval of information – The main objective of the new system is
to provide for quick and efficient retrieval of information, any type of
information would be available to the user whenever he requires. Facilitywould be provided for online query to cut down on the response time greatly.
2. Immediate storage of information – In the proposed system, it will be easy to
store information at any given time at the correct places. The location of
storage would be easily available and user will face no difficulty.
3. Prompt updating of information – In the proposed system, the information will
always remain up to date as the updating will be prompt and without any
efforts. This factor will be of great importance in the proposed system as it
determines the integrity of the information stored.
4. Fast computation of information – The computation of information will be
quite fast in the proposed system. Not only mathematical calculations, but also
logical comparisons will be quick in the new system.
5. Planned approach toward working – The working is the service center
information system will be well planned and organized. The data will be
stored properly in the data store which will help in retrieval of information as
well as in its storage.
6. Generation of managerial and strategic reports – The new system would provide for regular generation of reports which would help the management in
decisions making work and in controlling the over-all working of the
organization. The generation of these reports would be possible only if the
system is organized such that retrieval of information can be made on
conditions.
7. Accuracy – The level of accuracy in the new proposed system would be
higher. All operations and computations would be done correctly and this will
ensure that whatever information is coming from the center, it is accurate.
8. Reliability – The reliability of the proposed system would be high due to theabove stated reasons. The reason for the increased reliability of the system is
that now there would be proper storage of information, its maintenance would
be well managed and retrieval would be possible in the desired manner.
9. Non Redundant Information – In the new system, utmost care be taken that no
information is repeated, any usage of storage or otherwise. This would assure
economic usage of storage or space and consistency in the data stored. This
will also help make those changes easily as the change would have to be made
only at that very place and no where else.

Introduction
What is java?Java is a general purpose object oriented programming language . It is the first
programming language that is not tied to any particular hardware or operatingsystem .The language is based on the concept of an object. Java is highly derived
from C++ . Most striking feature of the language is that it is platform neutral
language.
There were five primary goals in the creation of the Java language:
• It should use the object-oriented programming methodology.
• It should allow the same program to be executed on multiple operating systems.
• It should contain built-in support for using computer networks.
• It should be designed to execute code from remote sources securely.
• It should be easy to use and borrow the good parts of older object-oriented
languages like C++.
Java toolsIn order to write java application or applets ,one need more than a language . The
tools that lets one to write , test , debug programs.
Java features● Compiler and Interpreted
● Platform independent
● Simple● Secure
● Familiar
● Portable
● Object-Oriented
● Robust
● Multithreaded
● High performance
● Distributed
● Dynamic
Compiler and Interpreted - There is a java compiler , named javac . The java
compiler takes input source code files (these files typically have the ext.java) and
converts them into compiled bytecode files.The java Interpreter known as javac can
be used to execute java application .The interpreter translates bytecode directly into
program actions.
Platform independent - Java programs can be easily moved from one computer to
another, anywhere and anytime.Changes and upgrades made in operating systems,
processors and system resources will not force any changes in java programs.
Simple - Java is designed to be easy for programmer to learn and use efficiently.
9
8/6/2019 Final Report Java
http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/final-report-java 10/36
Secure- When we use a java compatible web browser, we can safely download java
applets without fear of virus infection. Java achieves this protection by confining a
java program to java execution environment and not allowing it access to other parts
of the computer.
Familiar- It is modeled on C, C++ languages. Java code looks like C++.
Portable- Java compiler generates bytecode instructions that can be implemented on
any machine and also the size of the primitive data types are machine independent.
Object-Oriented - Java is a true object-oriented language. All program code and
data reside within objects and classes.
Robust -It provides many safeguards to ensure reliable code. It has strict compile
time and run time checking for data types. Designed as a garbage-collected language
relieving the programmers and also incorpates the concept of exception handlingwhich captures series errors.
Multithreaded - Java supports handling multiple tasks simultaneously which greatly
improves the interactive performance of graphical applications.
High performance - Java performance is impressive for an interpreted language ,
mainly due to use of immediate bytecode . Use of multithreaded and further its
architecture is also designed to reduce overheads during runtime.
Distributed - It has ability to share both data and programs. Java applications canopen and access remote objects on internet which enables multiple programmers at
multiple remote locations to collaborate and work together on single project.
Dynamic - Java is capable of dynamically in new class libraries , methods and
objects .It supports functions written in other languages like C,C++ called as native
methods.
Automatic garbage collection - One idea behind Java's automatic memory
management model is that programmers should be spared the burden of having to
perform manual memory management. In some languages the programmer allocates
memory to create any object stored on the heap and is responsible for later manually
deallocating that memory to delete any such objects. If a programmer forgets to de-
allocate memory or writes code that fails to do so in a timely fashion, a memory leak
can occur: the program will consume a potentially arbitrarily large amount of
memory. In addition, if a region of memory is de-allocated twice, the program can
become unstable and may crash.
In Java, this potential problem is avoided by automatic garbage collection. The
programmer determines when objects are created and the Java runtime is responsible
for managing the objects' lifecycle. The program or other objects can reference anobject by holding a reference to it (which, from a low-level point of view, is its
10
8/6/2019 Final Report Java
http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/final-report-java 11/36
address on the heap). When no references to an object remain, the Java garbage
collector automatically deletes the unreachable object, freeing memory and preventing
a memory leak. Memory leaks may still occur if a programmer's code holds a
reference to an object that is no longer needed—in other words, they can still occur
but at higher conceptual levels.
Comparing Java and C++, it is possible in C++ to implement similar functionality (for
example, a memory management model for specific classes can be designed in C++ to
improve speed and lower memory fragmentation considerably), with the possibly cost
of extra development time and some application complexity. In Java, garbage
collection is built in and virtually invisible to the developer. That is, developers may
have no notion of when garbage collection will take place as it may not necessarily
correlate with any actions being explicitly performed by the code they write.
Depending on intended application, this can be beneficial or disadvantageous: the
programmer is freed from performing low-level tasks but at the same time lose the
option of writing lower level code.
Java Magic: The Bytecode
Bytecode is a highly optimized set of instruction designed to be executed by the java
runtime system, which is called Java Virtual Machine and it exists only inside the
computer memory.
Source code Bytecode
Process of Compilation
Virtual Machine Real Machine
Process of converting Bytecode into Machine code
Object Oriented ProgrammingObject Oriented Programming is an approach that provides a way of modularizing
programs by creating partitioned memory area for both data and functions that can be
used as templates for creating copies of such modules on demand.
Objects and Classes - An object is a software bundle of variables and related
methods. Objects are key to understanding object-oriented technology. Real-worldobjects share two characteristics: They all have state and behavior. Software objects
Java Compiler Virtual MachineJava Program
Bytecode Java Interpreter
11
Machine code
8/6/2019 Final Report Java
http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/final-report-java 12/36
are modeled after real-world objects in that they too have state and behavior. A
software object maintains its state in one or more variables. A variable is an item of
data named by an identifier. A software object implements its behavior with methods.
A method is a function (subroutine) associated with an object. In the Java
programming language, an object can specify one of four access levels for each of its
variables and methods.A class is a blueprint that defines the variables and the methods common to all objects
of a certain kind. After you've created the class, you can create any number of objects
from that class. When you create an instance of a class, the system allocates enough
memory for the object and all its instance variables. Each instance gets its own copy
of all the instance variables defined in the class.
Classes can also define class variables. A class variable contains information that is
shared by all instances of the class .A class can also declare class methods. You can
invoke a class method directly from the class, whereas you must invoke instance
methods on a particular instance.
Encapsulation - Wrapping of data and methods into a single unit is known as
encapsulation. It is the most striking feature of class. The data is not accessible to
outside world and only those methods which are wrapped in the class can access it.
The insulation of the data from direct access by the program is called data hiding.
Inheritance - Inheritance is the process by which objects of one class acquire the
property of objects of another class. Each subclass inherits state .However, subclasses
are not limited to the states and behaviors provided to them by their superclass.
Subclasses can add variables and methods to the ones they inherit from the superclass.
It supports the concept of hierarchical classification it also provides the use of
reusability. .
Polymorphism - This means the ability to take more than one form. An operation
may exhibit different behaviour in different instances. The behaviour depends upon
the types of data used in the operation. It plays an important role in allowing objects
having different internal structures to share external interface.

Type 1 Driver - JDBC-ODBC bridge
The JDBC type 1 driver, also known as the JDBC-ODBC bridge, is a database driver
implementation that employs the ODBC driver to connect to the database. The driver
converts JDBC method calls into ODBC function calls.
The driver is platform-dependent as it makes use of ODBC which in turn depends on
native libraries of the underlying operating system the JVM is running upon. Also,
use of this driver leads to other installation dependencies; for example, ODBC must be installed on the computer having the driver and the database must support an
ODBC driver. The use of this driver is discouraged if the alternative of a pure-Java
driver is available. The other implication is that any application using a type 1 driver
is non-portable given the binding between the driver and platform. This technology
isn't suitable for a high-transaction environment. Type 1 drivers also don't support the
complete Java command set and are limited by the functionality of the ODBC driver.
MS Access JDBC Driver -- Connecting MS Access withJava
Download MS Access JDBC driver here.
To connect Java with MS Access, you need a JDBC driver. Although Microsoft do
not produce a JDBC driver for MS Access, you can use the Easysoft JDBC-ODBCBridge as a MS Access JDBC driver. Use the JDBC-ODBC Bridge to provide the
connectivity layer between your Java code and MS Access database. The MS Access
database can be on the same machine as your Java or a remote machine.
Accessing MS Access from Java
This tutorial shows how to access MS Access databases from Java.

Prerequisites
• An installed and licensed Easysoft JDBC-ODBC Bridge (JOB) server on a
supported Windows platform that has Microsoft Office installed.
If you have not yet installed the JOB software or you are having problemswith the installation, use our Getting Started Guide to help you through the
installation.
• An existing Access database file (.mdb) on the Windows machine.
Assumptions
• You accepted the default options during the install.
• This tutorial was written assuming the demonstration clients were installed on
the same Windows machine as the JOB server.
You can check to see if you have these installed by choosing Start >
Programs > Easysoft > JDBC-ODBC Bridge.
From here you should see both an Applet demo and an Application demo.
• We have also assumed that you have installed the JOB software as a valid
Windows User who has access to the target database.
Left side, Type 4: Direct-to-Database Pure Java Driver This style of driver converts JDBC calls into the network protocol used
directly by DBMSs, allowing a direct call from the client machine to the
DBMS server and providing a practical solution for intranet access.
Right side, Type 3: Pure Java Driver for Database MiddlewareThis style of driver translates JDBC calls into the middleware vendor's
protocol, which is then translated to a DBMS protocol by a middleware server.
The middleware provides connectivity to many different databases.
15
8/6/2019 Final Report Java
http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/final-report-java 16/36
The graphic below illustrates JDBC connectivity using ODBC drivers and
existing database client libraries.
Left side, Type 1: JDBC-ODBC Bridge plus ODBC Driver This combination provides JDBC access via ODBC drivers. ODBC binary
code -- and in many cases, database client code -- must be loaded on each
client machine that uses a JDBC-ODBC Bridge. Sun provides a JDBC-ODBC
Bridge driver, which is appropriate for experimental use and for situations in
which no other driver is available.
Right side, Type 2: A native API partly Java technology-enabled driver This type of driver converts JDBC calls into calls on the client API for Oracle,
Sybase, Informix, DB2, or other DBMS. Note that, like the bridge driver, this
style of driver requires that some binary code be loaded on each client
machine.
.
Partnering for Progress
Sun worked with an array of companies in the industry to create and rapidly establishthe JDBC API as the industry-standard, open interface for Java applications to access
databases.
Industry MomentumLeading database, middleware and tool vendors have been building support for JDBC
technology into many new products. This ensures that customers can build portable
Java applications while choosing from a wide range of competitive products for the
solution best suited to their needs. See the Industry Support page for a list of
companies that are shipping products with support for JDBC technology.

Advantages of JDBC Technology
Leverage Existing Enterprise DataWith JDBC technology, businesses are not locked in any proprietary architecture, and
can continue to use their installed databases and access information easily -- even if it
is stored on different database management systems.
Simplified Enterprise Development The combination of the Java API and the JDBC API makes application development
easy and economical. JDBC hides the complexity of many data access tasks, doing
most of the "heavy lifting"for the programmer behind the scenes. The JDBC API is
simple to learn, easy to deploy, and inexpensive to maintain.
Zero Configuration for Network ComputersWith the JDBC API, no configuration is required on the client side. With a driver
written in the Java programming language, all the information needed to make a
connection is completely defined by the JDBC URL or by a DataSource objectregistered with a Java Naming and Directory Interface (JNDI) naming service. Zero
configuration for clients supports the network computing paradigm and centralizes
software maintenance.
Relating JDBC to ODBC -There is a very close relationship between API and JDBC architecture and (open
database connectivity) ODBC counterparts. The JDBC –ODBC bridge enables you to
access databases using ODBC drivers from JDBC . JDBC –ODBC bridge effectively
translate the JDBC API calls into the corresponding ODBC calls . ODBC drivers are
available for almost all types of databases. JDBC can access almost all databases .
Because of their common ancestry they share some important components:-
Driver
manager
Loads database drivers and manages the
connections between the application and
the driver Driver Translates API calls into operations for a
specific data source
Connection A session between an application and a
database
Metadata Information about returned data , database
and driver
Resultset Logical set of columns and rows of datareturned by executing a statement
17
8/6/2019 Final Report Java
http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/final-report-java 18/36
The JDBC architecture is based on a collection of java interfaces and classes that together
enable you to connect to data sources , to create and execute SQL statements and to retrieve
and modify data in a database.
JDBC-ODBC Bridge Driver The JDBC-ODBC Bridge –“sun.jdbc.odbc.jdbcodbcDriver”-is included with JDK and it
enables Java applications to access data through drivers written to the ODBC standard. The
driver bridge is useful for accessing data in data sources for which no pure JDBC drivers exist.
The bridge works by translating the JDBC methods into ODBC function calls.
Key Features
• Full Access to MetadataThe JDBC API provides metadata access that enables the development of
sophisticated applications that need to understand the underlying facilities and
capabilities of a specific database connection.
No InstallationA pure JDBC technology-based driver does not require special installation; it is
automatically downloaded as part of the applet that makes the JDBC calls.
Database Connection Identified by URLJDBC technology exploits the advantages of Internet-standard URLs to identify
database connections. The JDBC API includes an even better way to identify and
connect to a data source, using a DataSource object, that makes code even more
portable and easier to maintain.

In addition to this important advantage, DataSource objects can provide
connection pooling and distributed transactions, essential for enterprise database
computing. This functionality is provided transparently to the programmer.
Included in the Java PlatformAs a core part of the Java 2 Platform, the JDBC API is available anywhere that
the platform is. This means that your applications can truly write database
applications once and access data anywhere. The JDBC API is included in both
the Java 2 Platform, Standard Edition (J2SE) and the Java 2 Platform, Enterprise
Edition (J2EE), providing server-side functionality for industrial strength
scalability.

LIMITATIONS
Although I have tried to do the best and try to do well all the things that are possible
in a Payroll System, but still the system contains some of the limitations.
The reason of these limitations is the time constraints. Time is the major problem. I
have to deliver the project in a particular time period. That’s why I have to leave some
topics that actually I want to cover, I am still working on this software and my next
goal is to remove these limitations and develop a more efficient and elegant system.
Limitations of the system:-
● this project does not support Multi-User System.
● the information of expenses is not included in this project.
After removing these and other minor limitations I hope this project will be very
efficient and effective.

Conclusion
The computer program “POST OFFICE MANAGEMENT SYSTEM” has been
designed basically for the government departments, private companies and other
institutions.By entering the required data one can easily generate the information about the
customer and all the old records as well as other services provided through the
system. As provided in the introduction we can do many required works on it but it is
not based on a particular post office management system as common idea is taken into
consideration while preparing this project so to implement it to any post office it may
require some modifications as per the requirements.
Still surely it will be provided as a great help to any post office system and will
automate his/her work completely motivating them to work more efficiently.
