• CMS (Content Management System) has been implemented which integrates security module. Prototype for a global collaboration project (BT Plc - Reuters).
• RMS (Rules Management System) has been designed and developed, including several modules of large scale enterprise system for British Telecommunications Plc internal network, such as: Availability module providing product availability information; Configuration module which allows configuring a product based upon location criteria, availability information, and configuration parameters applied to the product at the selected location; Reporting module has been designed and implemented. The system has been designed following common MVC pattern: Struts framework is being used as a front-end solution; Session Façade J2EE pattern is being used on the middleware level (Stateless Session Beans + Data Access Objects as transaction handlers); Oracle Data Base as a back-end tier, including set of PL/SQL stored procedures to handle complex data management operations, and views for the data retrieving. Due to the strict data load time requirements, different design pattern is being used for the Reporting module on the middleware layer. Business logic for this module is developed using JMS (Java Message Service) API. Message Driven Bean has been implemented in order to support business tier. Caching mechanism has been designed and developed, which allows reducing a response time during the interactions. Sun Microsystems(c) standard J2EE design pattern is being used for the Object Proxy Service implementation.
