Coding

The Most effective strategies will be based on the dual concepts of speed and leverage (Hagel 1996). The application will be built by in-house web developers utilizing the Java Servlet engine Tomcat by Apache implementing Java Server Pages (JSP). The coding will be completed as stated within the corporate standards of indentation, naming conventions, color coding of keywords, and, preparing data structures. Using the Java structured scripting language JSP; the software engineers will be able to use Object Oriented Programming techniques. This new approach should solve the portability problem since components do not inherit the weird behaviors from the runtime environment (Eckstein 2000).

Parts of the application will be written in reusable blocks and referenced as objects. These objects will perform a detailed task and will be able to be reused as they are needed, this code re-use is referred to as Object Oriented Programming or OOP.

Utilizing the OOP methodology code reuse can speed up time in development as well as utilizing system memory to its fullest.

The coding will take place in a team-oriented environment, which will require a versioning control system be in place. The versioning control software that will be used is CVS, which is a standard system on most Unix based servers. The CVS system will allow authorized users check in and out files to work on, and will keep a dated version of each file.

A relational database will be created and administered to solve the problems of data storage and maintenance. The database will be linked to the Java application via an Open DataBase Connection (ODBC), which will be password protected by access levels for reading, writing, and,
