Create java doc

I have created java documentation for the OTA services module. Therefore, anyone wish to create hotel reservation application either mobile or web, can use the documentation and create their own implementation easily.

The documentation is available in OTA mobile module.

Android Notifications

OTA services notifies to OTA mobile client when the hotel customer has made a reservation and visited to the hotel.
When hotel customer arrives to the hotel hotel user has updated the reservation that customer has arrived to the hotel and later when hotel customer departs from hotel again hotel user updates the reservation. At this moment, OTA services notifies to the android mobile (OTA mobile) that you have visited to this hotel and you have experience with it. Therefore, OTA mobile customer can give his feed back about the hotel. By this way, we can grantee that feedbacks given are dubious.

Front end Validation

I have used built in spring form validations to do the validations such as mandatory fields, password standards etc.
 

Ajax implementation for quick search

Ajax is used in several places in OTA site,

  1. For the OTA admin, search new hotels added recently. therefore admin can easily go through the data and verify it. Other than this, all the user information are loaded to the OTA site via AJAX calls.
  2. In order to quickly search the hotel information, AJAX is used for several search categories.

Google Map API implementation

To search the hotels and add hotels for a particular location, it would be easy for used to do it via Google Map API.

I have used Google Geo coding and reverse Geo coding to implement this functionality.
When user clicks on Map to enter hotel information, it will to the add hotel window which populates the location data implicitly (Province district and regional area).

As well as, when hotel customer wants to search hotels on particular area, by clicking on Google Map will give the all the registered hotels in that area. Incorporating Google Map API helps the user to do the reservations and add their hotel information.
