ABSTRACT
Students have to search the internet each time to know about any news
updates like fee payment dates, exam results etc in the college website. The
project entitled “Student Alert System” is a system which sends latest news
updates from college website to a student, either via SMS or e-mail or both. The
system is developed so that students do not miss out on any alert and save their
valuable time. When they subscribe this service, they will be notified with latest
relevant news of their interest. Every student of the college can register in this
system to access this service.
The system extracts the latest news from the college website and sends
updates to the registered students. Only the registered students will receive the
notifications. The students subscribing this service will receive the alerts. Every
student will receive a username and password from the admin, to login in this
system. Notifications such as exam time table, fee details, syllabus, revaluation
results, exam results etc will be send as alerts to the students. Students can register
and choose the notifications they are interested in. They will receive the alerts for
their respective interests as chosen at the time of subscription. Facilities are
provided for the user to change their settings. The system groups the subscribers
according to their interest and securely sends alerts to all subscribers as and when
updates occur and keep the user informed. The user gets just the relevant news
without any glossy brochures or attention diverting advertisements.

CHAPTER 1
INTRODUCTION
Nowadays, mobile phones and internet are indispensable factors of our daily life.
This reality played a very important role in coming up with the proposed alert
system. When users subscribe this service, they will be notified with any latest
relevant news of their interest. For example the system will extract news from
other website and summaries it and send SMS & email to subscribers. Different
users will receive the news for their respective interests as chosen at the time of
subscription. The system groups the subscribers according to their interest. This
service provides a means to get news of the user interest and alerts the user
whenever an update occurs at the website.
1.1 OBJECTIVE
The objective of this project is to send alerts to students in the form of mail and
sms notifications from college website. The user can login using username and
password provided by admin. After login the user can make changes in the
settings if needed and select the type of notifications needed in the user profile
page.
The software has been developed using the most powerful and secured backend
MySQL and the most widely accepted front end tool JSP with HTML & servlet
coding behind.

1
1.2 OVERVIEW
The Student Alert System consists of the following implementation modules.

 Admin module
 User module
1.2.1 ADMIN MODULE
Tasks of admin
i) Confirm all the registered students
ii) Manage confirmed students
iii) Event management
iv) Send notification
Confirm students
 The details of all registered students are listed in the confirm students
page, from which admin accepts the genuine users.
 The admin mail the login information such as username and password to
the confirmed (accepted) students.
Manage students
 All the confirmed (accepted) students are listed in this page.
 Users listed in this page only receive alerts
 Password and username verification are done from database created using
details of this page
2
Send notification
 Notifications are extracted from college website using rss feed.
 The admin receives all the notifications irrespective of the type of
notification.
 Admin groups the notifications as public and group notifications.
 Public notifications are for all users having common area of
interest.
Eg: SOE events
 Group notifications are for group of users.
Eg: syllabus, timetable
 Admin groups the news/events into different categories as
 Exam results
 Revaluation results
 Fee details
 Exam time table
 Syllabus
 School of engineering events
1.2.2 USER MODULE
User module consists of a user interface page. The user, with the username and
password provided by admin, reaches the user interface page.

3
The user interface page provides the following options.

 Edit profile
-The user can edit his semester, email-id, mobile no.
 Select the required notifications
 Turn on/off SMS and mail notifications
 Change password
 Write comments
This system provides attractive design and proper arrangement of links and
images, which enables a browser to easily interpret and access the properties
of the site.

CHAPTER 2
SYSTEM ANALYSIS
System analysis is the process of gathering and interpreting facts, diagnosing
problems and using the information to recommend improvements on the system.
System analysis is a problem solving activity that requires intensive
communication between the system users and system developers.
System analysis or study is an important phase of any system development
process. The system is viewed as a whole, the inputs are identified and the system
is subjected to close study to identify the problem areas. The solutions are given
as a proposal. The proposal is reviewed on user request and suitable changes are
made. This loop ends as soon as the user is satisfied with the proposal.
2.1 EXISTING SYSTEM
In the current scenario a student has to search the college website each time to
know about any update which is time consuming. Moreover if a student doesn’t
have an internet connection it will not be easy to know about the updates of
college website, hence some students are not be informed about the about the
important events like fee payment date, results etc.
2.2 PROPOSED SYSTEM
The purpose of this project is to build software that alerts the students when an
update on an event or a new event is posted in college website. The student alert
system performs the following tasks:

5
(a) The system provides an interface for each user after registration.
(b) User can select the type of notification.
(c) User receives mail/sms notification when a news update comes in CUSAT
website.
(d) User can change password and edit the profile.
The main conceptual modules of the system are

1. System resources module
2. Profile Creation Module
3. Notification Module
Module 1: System resources module

The system resources that satisfy user profiles are determined by the specific
profiles. While registering user selects exact requirements of the profile. After
login user gets only those selected system resources. The system delivers relevant
data to the user when updates occur at those resources.
Module 2: Profile Creation Module

Admin specifies configurations of resources. At the time of profile creation, user
provides the mobile number and email id for the alerts.
Module 3: Notification Module

The module securely sends alerts to all subscribers as and when updates occur and
keep the user informed. The advantage of this system is that the user gets just the
relevant news without any glossy brochures or attention diverting advertisements.

CHAPTER 3
SYSTEM TOOLS
The various system tools that have been used in developing both the front end and
the back end of the project are being discussed in this chapter.
3.1 FRONT END
JSP, HTML, CSS, JAVA SCRIPT are utilised to implement the frontend.
3.1.1 JavaServer Pages (JSP)
Java Server Pages (JSP) is a technology for developing web pages that
support dynamic content which helps developers to insert java code in HTML
pages by making use of special JSP tags, most of which start with <% and end
with %>. A JavaServer Pages component is a type of Java servlet that is designed
to fulfil the role of a user interface for a Java web application. Web developers
write JSPs as text files that combine HTML or XHTML code, XML
elements, and embedded JSP actions and commands. Using JSP, one can collect
input from users through web page forms, present records from a database or
another source, and create web pages dynamically. JSP tags can be used for a
variety of purposes, such as retrieving information from a database or registering

13
user preferences, accessing JavaBeans components, passing control between

pages and sharing information between requests, pages etc.
JavaServer Pages are built on top of the Java Servlets API, so like Servlets, JSP
also has access to all the powerful Enterprise Java APIs, including JDBC, JNDI,
EJB, JAXP etc. JSP pages can be used in combination with servlets that handle
the business logic, the model supported by Java servlet template engines. JSP is
also an integral part of J2EE, a complete platform for enterprise class
applications. This means that JSP can play a part in the simplest applications to
the most complex and demanding.
JSP Architecture
The web server needs a JSP engine ie. container to process JSP pages. The JSP
container is responsible for intercepting requests for JSP pages. This tutorial
makes use of Apache which has built -in JSP container to support JSP pages
development. A JSP container works with the Web server to provide the runtime
environment and other services a JSP needs. It knows how to understand the
special elements that are part of JSP.
Following diagram shows the position of JSP container and JSP files in a Web
Application.

14
Fig 3.1: JSP container and JSP files
The major phases of JSP life cycle are very similar to Servlet Life Cycle and they
are as follows:
Fig 3.2: JSP life cycle
JSP Syntax

15
The Scriptlet:
A scriptlet can contain any number of JAVA language statements, variable or

method declarations, or expressions that are valid in the page scripting language.
Following is the syntax of Scriptlet:

<% code fragment %>
JSP Declarations:
A declaration declares one or more variables or methods that one can use in Java
code later in the JSP file. One must declare the variable or method before its use
in the JSP file.
Following is the syntax of JSP Declarations:

<%! declaration; [ declaration; ]+ ... %>
JSP Expression:
A JSP expression element contains a scripting language expression that is

evaluated, converted to a string, and inserted where the expression appears in the
JSP file. Because the value of an expression is converted to a string, one can use
an expression within a line of text, whether or not it is tagged with HTML, in a
JSP file. The expression element can contain any expression that is valid
according to the Java Language Specification but one cannot use a semicolon to
end an expression.
Following is the syntax of JSP Expression:
16
<%= expression %>
JSP Implicit Objects:
JSP supports nine automatically defined variables, which are also called implicit
objects. These variables are given in Fig. 2.5.
Fig. 3.3: JSP Objects
3.1.2 HTML (HyperText Markup Language)
HTML is a syntax used to format a text document on the web. These documents
are interpreted by web browsers such as Internet Explorer and Netscape
Navigator. HTML can be created as standard ASCII text with "tags" included to
pass on extra information about character formatting and page layout to a web

17
browser. HTML is written in the form of HTML elements consisting

of tags enclosed in angle brackets (like <html>), within the web page content.
HTML tags most commonly come in pairs like <h1> and </h1>, although some
tags represent empty elements and so are unpaired, for example <img>. The first
tag in a pair is the start tag, and the second tag is the end tag (they are also
called opening tags and closing tags). In between these tags web designers can
add text, further tags, comments and other types of text-based content. The
purpose of a web browser is to read HTML documents and compose them into
visible or audible web pages. The browser does not display the HTML tags, but
uses the tags to interpret the content of the page.HTML elements form the
building blocks of all websites. HTML allows images and objects to be embedded
and can be used to create interactive forms. It provides a means to
create structured documents by denoting structural semantics for text such as
headings, paragraphs, lists, links, quotes and other items.
3.1.3 CSS (Cascading Style Sheets)
CSS is a style sheet language used for describing the look and formatting of a
document written in a markup language. While most often used to style web
pages and interfaces written in HTML and XHTML, the language can be applied
to any kind of XML document, including plain XML, SVG and XUL. CSS is a
cornerstone specification of the web and almost all web pages use CSS style
sheets to describe their presentation. CSS is designed primarily to enable the
separation of document content from document presentation, including elements
such as the layout, colours, and fonts. This separation can improve
18
content accessibility, provide more flexibility and control in the specification of

presentation characteristics, enable multiple pages to share formatting, and reduce
complexity and repetition in the structural content (such as by allowing
for tableless web design). CSS can also allow the same markup page to be
presented in different styles for different rendering methods, such as on-screen, in
print, by voice (when read out by a speech-based browser or screen reader) and
on Braille-based, tactile devices. It can also be used to allow the web page to
display differently depending on the screen size or device on which it is being
viewed.
3.1.4 Java Script
JS is a dynamic computer programming language. It is most commonly used as

part of web browsers, whose implementations allow client-side scripts to interact
with the user, control the browser, communicate asynchronously, and alter
the document content that is displayed. It is also being used in server-side
programming, game development and the creation of desktop and mobile
applications. JavaScript is a prototype-based scripting language with dynamic
typing and has first-class functions. Its syntax was influenced by C. JavaScript
copies many names and naming conventions from Java, but the two languages are
otherwise unrelated and have very different semantics. The key design principles
within JavaScript are taken from the self and Scheme programming languages. It
is a multi-paradigm language, supporting object-oriented, imperative,
and functional programming styles. The application of JavaScript to use outside

19
of web pages for example, in PDF documents, site-specific browsers, and desktop
widgets is also significant.
3.2 BACK END
The back end is implemented using servlets and MySQL which is used to design
the databases.
3.2.1 MySQL
MySQL is the world's second most widely used open-source relational database
management system (RDBMS). The SQL phrase stands for Structured Query
Language. The MySQL development project has made its source code available
under the terms of the GNU General Public License, as well as under a variety
of proprietary agreements. MySQL was owned and sponsored by a single for-
profit firm, the Swedish company MySQL AB, now owned by Oracle
Corporation. MySQL is a popular choice of database for use in web applications,
and is a central component of the widely used LAMP (Linux, Apache,
MySQL, Perl/PHP/Python) open source web application software stack (and
other 'AMP' stacks). Free-software-open source projects that require a full-
featured database management system often use MySQL. For commercial use,
several paid editions are available, and offer additional functionality. Applications
which use MySQL databases include: TYPO3, MODx, Joomla, WordPress,
phpBB, Drupal and other software. MySQL is also used in many high-profile,
large-scale websites, including Wikipedia, Google(though not for searches),
Facebook, Twitter, Flickr, and YouTube.

20
SERVLETS
Servlets are programs that run on a Web or application server and act as a middle
layer between a requests coming from a Web browser or other HTTP client and
databases or applications on the HTTP server. Their job is to perform the
following tasks, as illustrated in Fig. 2.6.
Fig.3.4: Servlet tasks
Using Servlets, one can collect input from users through web page forms,
present records from a database or another source, and create web pages
dynamically .Java Servlets often serve the same purpose as programs
implemented using the Common Gateway Interface (CGI). But Servlets offer
several advantages in comparison with the CGI.
 Performance is significantly better.

 Servlets execute within the address space of a Web server. It is not
necessary to create a separate process to handle each client request.
 Servlets are platform-independent because they are written in Java.
 Java security manager on the server enforces a set of restrictions to

21
protect the resources on a server machine. So servlets are trusted.

 The full functionality of the Java class libraries is available to a
servlet. It can communicate with applets, databases, or other software via
the sockets and RMI mechanisms that you have seen already.
 Servlets Architecture:
Following diagram shows the position of Servlets in a Web Application.
Fig.3.5: Position of Servlets in a Web Application
Mail API
The JavaMail is an API that is used to compose, write and read electronic
messages (emails). The JavaMail API provides protocol-independent and
platform-independent framework for sending and receiving mails.
The javax.mail and javax.mail.activation packages contain the core classes of

22
JavaMail API. The JavaMail facility can be applied to many events. It can be used
at the time of registering the user (sending notification such as thanks for your
interest to my site), forgot password (sending password to the users email id),
sending notifications for important updates etc. So there can be various usage of
JavaMail API. One can send email by using the SMTP server of gmail by SSL
(Secured Socket Layer). SSL is basically used for security for sending email
through gmail server.
For sending the email using JavaMail API, the two jar files are to be loaded.
 mail.jar
 activation.jar
There are some protocols that are used in JavaMail API.
 SMTP
 POP
 IMAP
 MIME
 NNTP and others
The java application uses JavaMail API to compose, send and receive emails.
The JavaMail API uses SPI (Service Provider Interfaces) that provides the
intermediatory services to the java application to deal with the different
protocols. There are three steps to send email using JavaMail.
They are as follows:

23
1. Get the session object that stores all the information of host like host name,
username, password etc.
2.Compose the message
3.Send the message
SMS API
An SMS gateway allows a computer to send or receive Short Message

Service (SMS) transmissions to or from a telecommunications network. Most
messages are eventually routed into the mobile phone networks. Many SMS
gateways support media conversion from email and other formats. An SMS
gateway typically sits between the end user who needs to send/receive SMS and a
mobile network's SMSC. Such gateways provide a choice of protocols including
HTTP, SMTP, Short Message Peer-to-Peer and web services. Providers of SMS
gateway services include SMS aggregators and mobile operators. SMS gateways
are also available as part of messaging services such as AOL, ICQ and others. An
SMS gateway connects with (i) mobile network SMSCs in order to send/receive
messages and/or (ii) other SMS gateways in order to reach mobile subscribers on
multiple mobile networks. It is therefore possible that an SMS gateway has a
combination of mobile network SMSC connections and connections with other
SMS gateways in order to provide its services. However, there is the increasing
potential for delivery problems with SMS the greater the number of SMS
gateways in the delivery chain.

24
Text messages can be sent from a personal computer to mobile devices via an
SMS gateway. The messages must be sent in ASCII "text-only" mode. If they are
sent in HTML mode, or using non-ASCII characters, they will most likely appear
as nonsense on the recipient's mobile telephone. Before the message can be sent,
one must determine the domain of the mobile carrier's SMS gateway. To
determine the SMS gateway domain, e.g., txt.att.net, may require research, as
mobile telephone users typically do not know this information when they provide
their telephone number and due to number portability the number may no longer
be associated with the carrier that originally issued it. The country code is not
needed, as the 10-digit telephone number, together with the email domain, are
sufficient to send the email from any location in the world. It is useful to perform
a character count to ensure that it is within the 160-character limit. If it exceeds
the limit, the SMS gateway should break the message into a set of consecutive
160-character, or shorter, messages to the mobile equipment, although the breaks
may occur in the middle of words. A message sent with an email client can be
simultaneously addressed to multiple mobile telephones, whereas text messages
sent in the usual manner between mobile telephones can only be sent to a single
recipient.

25
CHAPTER 4
SYSTEM DESIGN
System design is the solution for the creation of a new system. This phase focuses
on the detailed implementation of the feasible system. It emphasis on translating
design specifications to performance specification. System design has two phases
of development
 Logical design
 Physical design
During logical design phase the analyst describes inputs (sources), outputs
(destinations), databases (data sores) and procedures (data flows) all in a format
that meets the user requirements. The analyst also specifies the needs of the user
at a level that virtually determines the information flow in and out of the system
and the data resources. Here the logical design is done through data flow diagrams
and database design.
The physical design is followed by physical design or coding. Physical design
produces the working system by defining the design specifications, which specify
exactly what the candidate system must do. The programmers write the necessary
programs that accept input from the user, perform necessary processing on
accepted data and produce the required report on a hard copy or display it on the
screen.

26
4.1 INPUT AND OUTPUT DESIGN
INPUT DESIGN:
Input design is the link that ties the information system into the world of
its users. The input design involves determining the inputs, validating the data,
minimizing the data entry and provides a multi-user facility. Inaccurate inputs are
the most common cause of errors in data processing. Errors entered by the data
entry operators can be controlled by input design. The user-originated inputs are
converted to a computer based format in the input design. Input data are collected
and organized into groups of similar data. Once identified, the appropriate input
media are selected for processing. All the input data are validated and if any data
violates any conditions, the user is warned by a message. If the data satisfies all
the conditions, it is transferred to the appropriate tables in the database. In this
project the student details are to be entered at the time of registration. A page is
designed for this purpose which is user friendly and easy to use. The design is
done such that users get appropriate messages when exceptions occur.
OUTPUT DESIGN:
Computer output is the most important and direct source of information to the
user. Output design is a very important phase since the output needs to be in an
efficient manner. Efficient and intelligible output design improves the system
relationship with the user and helps in decision making. Allowing the user to view
the sample screen is important because the user is the ultimate judge of the quality
of output. The output module of this system is the selected notifications.

27
4.2 DATABASE
DATABASE DESIGN:
Databases are the storehouses of data used in the software systems. The data is
stored in tables inside the database. Several tables are created for the manipulation
of the data for the system. Two essential settings for a database are
 Primary Key- the field that is unique for all the record occurrences.
 Foreign Key-the field used to set relation between tables.
Normalization is a technique to avoid redundancy in the tables.
TABLES
 LOGIN
Table 4.1: Login

28
 REGISTER
Table 4.2: Register
 USER SETTINGS
Table 4.3: User Settings

29
 NOTIFICATIONS
Table 4.4: Notification table
4.3 DATA FLOW DIAGRAM
A Data Flow Diagram (DFD) is a structured analysis and design tool that can be
used for flowcharting. A DFD is a network that describes the flow of data and the
processes that change or transform the data throughout a system. This network is
constructed by using a set of symbols that do not imply any physical
implementation. It has the purpose of clarifying system requirements and
identifying major transformations. So it is the starting point of the design
phase that functionally decomposes the requirements specifications down to
the lowest level of detail. DFD can be considered to an abstraction of the logic of
an information-oriented or a process-oriented system flow-chart. For these
reasons DFD’s are often referred to as logical data flow diagrams.
CONTEXT LEVEL DIAGRAM (LEVEL 0)
The Top-level diagram is often called a context level diagram. It is also called 0
level data flow diagram. It contains a single process, but it plays a very

30
important role in studying the current system. The context diagram

determines the boundaries. Anything that is not inside the process identified in
the context diagram will not be part of the system study. The external
elements, that are the sources and sinks function will not be studied in detail
in the context level data flow diagram.
EXTERNAL ENTITY
An external entity is a source or destination of a data flow. Only those entities
which originate or receive data are represented on a data flow diagram. The
symbol used is a rectangular box.
PROCESS
A process shows a transformation or manipulation of data flow within the
system. The symbol used is an oval shape.
DATAFLOW
The data flow shows the flow of information from a source to its destination. Data
flow is represented by a line, with arrowheads showing the direction of flow.
Information always flows to or from a process and may be written, verbal or
electronic. Each data flow may be referenced by the processes or data stores at its
head and tail, or by a description of its contents.
DATA STORE
A data store is a holding place for information within the system: It is represented

31
by an open ended narrow rectangle. Data stores may be long-term files such as
sales ledgers, or may be short-term accumulations: for example batches of
documents that are waiting to be processed. Each data store should be given a
reference followed by an arbitrary number.

<p class="latestnews"> Nowadays, mobile phones and internet are indispensable factors
of our daily life. This reality played a very important role in coming up with the proposed alert
system. When users subscribe this service, they will be notified with any latest relevant news of
their interest. For example the system will extract news from other website and summaries it and
send SMS & email to subscribers. Different users will receive the news for their respective
interests as chosen at the time of subscription. The system groups the subscribers according to
their interest. This service provides a means to get news of the user interest and alerts the user
whenever an update occurs at the website. </p>

CHAPTER 6
SYSTEM TESTING
Testing is a set activity that can be planned and conducted systematically. Testing
begins at the module level and work towards the integration of entire computers
based system. For testing our software we test each and every path that user can
go at any point in the lifetime of the system .Nothing is complete without testing,
as it is vital success of the system.
There are several rules that can serve as testing objectives, they are
1. Testing is a process of executing a program with the intent of finding an error
2. A good test case is one that has high probability of finding an undiscovered
error.
3. A successful test is one that uncovers an undiscovered error.
If testing is conducted successfully according to the objectives as stated above, it

would uncover errors in the software. Also testing demonstrates that software
functions appear to the working according to the specification, that performance
requirements appear to have been met.
The entire testing process can be divided into 3 phases
1. Unit Testing
2. Integration Testing
3. Final/ System testing

78
6.1 UNIT TESTING
In unit testing we had tested every single part that is the forms of the software.
We did this simultaneously while the project is being built. The test data was
given to each and every module in all respects and got the desired output. Each
module has been tested found working properly. Then the various sets of input
values are devised with various combinations of inputs being out of range.
6.2 INTEGRATION TESTING
In this, all the Code Modules were tested individually one after the other.
Software is written in JSP, so it is a collection of pages. So we tested each and
every page carefully with various sets of input values with various combinations
of inputs being out of range. And we found all the components in the module
are working perfectly. In our case all the modules were combined and given the
test data. The combined module works successfully without any side effect on
other programs.
6.3. FINAL/SYSTEM TESTING
In this the entire system was tested as a whole with all forms, code, modules and
class modules. Popularly known as Black Box testing or system testing, it focus
on the functional requirement of the software. That is, Black Box testing enables
the software engineer to derive sets of input conditions that will fully exercise all
functional requirements for a program. Black Box testing attempts to find errors
in: incorrect or missing functions, interface errors, errors in data structures or

79
external database access, performance errors, initialization errors and termination

errors. Various sets of input values are devised with various combinations of
inputs being out of range.

CHAPTER 7
CONCLUSION
The project report entitled ”STUDENT ALERT SYSTEM” has been completed.
The system has been developed with much care that it is free of errors and at the
same time it is efficient and less time consuming. The purpose of this project
was to send sms and mail alerts to the students when there is any new update
in the college website and also provide facilities for selecting required
notifications.
The important thing is that the system is robust. We have tried our level best to
make the system as dynamic as possible. This project helped us in gaining
valuable information on several topics like web page design principle, handling
the user interface in a powerful way, to access the various pages across the
application etc. The entire system is secured. Also JSP and HTML are gaining
rapid acceptance as means to provide dynamic content on the Internet.
Running from the server in the secure manner, the application processes are also
limitless.
More than anything this project has given us great satisfaction in having designed
an application, which processes information from university to the students. This
system transfers the user’s needs into a software solution and saves their precious
time .This online system can be approved by the college and if it is implemented
it will be much useful for student.

81
There is a scope for further development in our project in terms of functionality

for users. The admin can track each user by their register no. and can be provided
only their specific details. Also other facilities such as hostel allotment, digital
library facility can be integrated with this project so that it becomes a single stop
solution for the students. Student communication with the admin as well as other
students can also be implemented.
