Project Background WWW Cargo Pte Ltd (Project Sponsor) is a privately owned company offering a one-stop total logistics package. At the moment, the daily business operation of WWW Cargo Pte Ltd heavily relies on MS Excel, where company staff will operate on the same set of excel files at the shared network drives. This prevent staffs concurrently access the same set of files. Also staffs need to manually navigate inside the file folders and excel worksheets in order to find the data. As a result, it is decided that a new system with web platform support is required to improve their productivity 3ISS SE18T7S

Project Objective To develop the Enterprise Cargo Management System (ECMS) which will automate the end-to-end business process for WWW Cargo Pte Ltd, a logistic service provider The new system is expected to ease their daily operations which is currently very much manual in nature. Due to project resource constraint, the project will focus on import operation while leaving export operation for future phase. 6ISS SE18T7S

Project Requirements The main system users are the Employees, Managers (or management) and System Administrators. Relevant user documentation (e.g. user guides) shall be created for both training and system support/maintenance. Open-source software shall be used for the development of the ECMS system. ECMS system shall be built using object-oriented technologies and techniques. Rational Unified Process (RUP) methodology shall be adopted as the development approach. Any formal changes to the requirements shall follow the SE18S7 “Change Control” procedure in the quality plan. 7ISS SE18T7S

Project Requirements Customer Profile Management The system is required to keep track of WWW Cargo customers’ profiles with their supplier information. Agent Profile Management The system is required to keep track of all the agents’ profiles with all branch details. Shipment Tracking Management The system is required to allow user to track shipment by creating new shipment, updating shipment status. On status update, notification should be sent to customers automatically. 8ISS SE18T7S

Project Requirements Sea & Air Import Document Processing For each import shipment, quite a few documents needs to be issued due to business requirements. The system should minimize the data entry performed by the staff and generate all the necessary documents as required. The following documents are required for Sea Import Shipments Sea Import costing sheet Sea Import Notice of Arrival with charges or without charges Sea Import delivery note Sea Import trucking instruction Sea Console manifest Transhipment cover note Shipping note House Bill of Lading (HBL) Master Bill of Lading (MBL) 9ISS SE18T7S

Project Requirements Sea & Air Import Document Processing (cont’d) The following documents are required for Air Import Shipments Air Import Costing Sheet Air Import Delivery Notes Business Reporting The system should allow user to view the monthly business report which describes the summary of shipments in the month. User Administration The system should allow administrative user to create/remove users and configure user access rights. 10ISS SE18T7S

Project Scope ECMS will include the following core software modules: 11ISS SE18T7S

Project Risks Management Risk Team member commitment Lack of Domain Knowledge of Team members Change in requirement due to users lack of experience in IT systems. Resource overload due to small team size of 6 member, who are committed for 88 man-day for the project. Lack of customer commitment Technological Risks Lack in skills of team member for J2EE Technologies. Non availability of suitable hardware for the release. Stability of J2EE6 components, as it’s a new release. Technology Limitation Defects in open source software components 12ISS SE18T7S

System Overview 23ISS SE18T7S

Architectural View of ECMS requirements solution – a logical multitier architecture Division between the logical tiers 24ISS SE18T7S

Technological Approach Model View Controller architecture (MVC)- We are adopting the well known and proven MVC architecture for the application design and development. MVC architecture shall be achieved using Struts 2 as a Web Tier base line framework. Together with the above mentioned approach following are the applicable J2EE design patterns identified – Business Delegate Service Locator Front Controller Data Access Object Value Object Interceptors. View  Renders the Model.  Send user requests to controller. View  Renders the Model.  Send user requests to controller. Model  Encapsulate application states.  Maintained by Controller and refer by View. Model  Encapsulate application states.  Maintained by Controller and refer by View. Controller  Selects view for response.  Updates Model with user actions. Controller  Selects view for response.  Updates Model with user actions. Changes the State Query the state Select the view 25ISS SE18T7S

Design Aspects WEB – centric design (Web tier to communicate with Database) EJB – centric design (EJB tier to communicate with Database) Both of mentioned design approaches have their own benefits and down sides, however, for ECMS functional and non- functional requirements point of view we have decided to go with EJB- centric design by considering following Robustness. Secure access to the software components. Reusability. Managed transactions. Focus development on application domain. Proven container provided Transaction Management. More manageable large scale data intensive systems. 26ISS SE18T7S

Platform and Software Components The platform shall be Java EE 6, which has many APIs. However, for the requirement of ECMS, we are going to explore mainly followings Java Platform, Enterprise Edition 6 (Java EE 6) Enterprise JavaBeans 3.1 Java Servlet 3.0 JavaServer Pages 2.2/Expression Language 2.2 Standard Tag Library for JavaServer Pages (JSTL) 1.2 Followings are the Third Party Open Source Components to be integrate Apache log4j 1.2 APIs (For logging purpose) Hibernate (For Object Relational Mapping) Struts 2 (Web Tier framework to stick with MVC) Jasper Reports (For Reporting) 27ISS SE18T7S
