Attendance Management System

       In my 2nd year 1st semester i was given a chance to explore my OOP concepts(encapsulation, abstraction, inheritance and polymorphism) by doing a group project comprises of 4 members. This project was all about developing a standalone application using Java and MySQL. We selected the topic "Attendance Management System" and set the scope as school environment. The main functions of our project were:

1.Recording staff and student details.
2.Recording and maintaining attendance of both staff and students.
3.Filtering attendance record based on required criteria.
4.Maintaining user accounts.
5.Generating Reports.

As my part i did functions 2, 4 and 5( generating reports were mandatory for all the group members).I developed the login page which allows the user to login to the system by providing one's user name, password and user type. We had 2 users, academic staff and administrator. 

All the staff members are allowed to view all the students' attendance details and reports but only allowed to view one's personal account details. They are not allowed to view other staff members' attendance details. Administrator has the privilege to view all the attendance details of both staff and students. For implementation purposes we considered this system to be a separate system of a school, that is it has no relationships with any other sub systems in the school.

Login Page

According to the user type the system will lead the user to the relevant dashboard. 

Admin's Dashboard

Admin is given the privilege to record the attendance of both staff and student. 

Student Attendance - Mark Attendance page

Staff Attendance - Mark Attendance page
  
In case to remove any unwanted / wrongly inserted record the admin is the only authorized person who can do so. 
Student Attendance - Delete Attendance page

Staff Attendance - Delete Attendance page

Admin is responsible for all the user accounts, such that managing user passwords and login details.

Staff Password Setting page

Finally the report. We used iReport to generate all the reports, which includes parameterized  and non-parameterized reports.The following interface will lead the admin to generate iReports.

Hashing... First Step to Secure Software Programming

Image
Where it all started? Anyone in the field of programming wouldn't have missed the chance of implementing a login page. This login page might look very simple and straightforward. But in reality, it is not. What most of us would have done for our first login page is a simple string comparison for both username and password which might have already been hard-coded in the program. Some might have retrieved the username and password from the database and compared it with the user entering credentials based on roles. If we think about this scenario in a real-world enterprise or corporate level applications, the authentication procedure will not take place as simple as that. Authentication Authentication is all about ensuring that the system is being accessed by the correct user. Authentication plays a very important role in most of the systems or applications. The reason is to prevent the system from unauthorized access. Authentication methodologies 1. Username Password authentic...

Encryption to take secure programming a step forward

Image
[http://blog.trendmicro.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/03/Cartoon-2.jpg] What is "Encryption"? Why is it associated with secure programming? What are the benefits of encryption? These are questions to be evaluated in this blog post along with some interesting facts about encryption. As we all know hashing is a one-way process in which the plain text/input cannot be retrieved from the hash value. What if we want to get the plain-text from the hash value? What could be the solution? The solution is Encryption . Encryption Encryption is a technique used to convert a plain text into an encoded format or cipher-text which could be reversed back to the original plain text. Unlike hashing, encryption is a two-way technique. Fig 1: The flow of encryption Fig 2: Encryption/Decryption related details for the Fig 1 Since encryption is a two-way process it allows the users to retrieve the encrypted value back to its original text. This is very useful in terms...

RMI - Weather station

Image
Hi friends !!!! :) Today I like to share one of my projects with you..... It's basically a weather station  where weather readings are gathered and updated using RMI technology, Java Remote Method Invocation. The Java Remote Method Invocation (RMI) system allows an object running in one Java virtual machine to invoke methods on an object running in another Java virtual machine. RMI provides for remote communication between programs written in the Java programming language. Fig 1: RMI method invocation Since we have the theory background of RMI I thought of sharing my project in which I have implemented a very basic client-server program using RMI to pass information from server to the monitoring station. As we all know in a weather forecasting station we have to gather the weather readings and send them in a periodic manner to all the stations connected to the server. Through this we can invoke methods running in one Java virtual machine through an object running in a...
