EMPLOYEE SELF-SERVICES USING J2EE TECHNOLOGY ON A MVC ARCHITECTURE

Abstract

This paper introduces the 'Security Pass' and 'Gate Pass' modules I developed during the internship using J2EE technology on an MVC technology. I developed applications on the elipva Zephyr platform which is a J2EE compliant web application that provides aggregation for content, applications, data and multimedia through an easy-to-use user interface and a compact platform for the development and deployment of web-based Java and J2EE applications. J2EE is the Java 2 Platform Enterprise Edition, which is the technology for distributed and enterprise development in Java. MVC stands for Model-View-Controller framework, which applies a minimalist approach in allowing almost everything to be configurable and pushes flexibility in development for all extension modules. In addition, I used Hibernate to persist my data since it is mature, complete open source, widely used and very actively developed. Furthermore, I also present the initialization flow of Zephyr and its powerful identity management including authentication, access control and user management.
