The Java development project was designed and developed for a hotel that is a chain of more than 50 3 star and 4 star hotels across the Europe. The hotel life cycle management system needed a new report system to fit their new business needs. Due to the reasonable cost of software development in China, our client decided to outsource their Java development project to China.

Our Java development team provided the following main solutions:

- Choosing JasperReports to develop the report module. With JasperReports open source Java reporting tool, our Java development team could generate hotel reports into PDF, HTML, Microsoft Excel, RTF, ODT, Commaseparated values and XML files.

- Our Java development team adopted flexible data container layer allowing easy integration into various systems.

- The complete documentation of the reports included source code, architecture and class hierarchy.

- Our Java development team corrected data that in unsupported formats and blanked ones.

- The system supported report combination by two or more individual reports.

- The report supported various environments, such as Windows, Linux, and UNIX.

- Our Java development team set up a deadline for some report that any delayed inputs will be unacceptable.

The main technologies and development tools involved in this Java software development project were Java/J2EE, Hibernate, HTML, CSS, XSLT, JasperReports, JBoss, Oracle 11, Eclipse, Jaspersoft iReport, Ant.
