Travel Agent Login

[Ip Patrick]

Dear all,

I have strong doubt about how Travel Agent can help a customer to book a ticket. Let me explain this:

1. Normal customer enters his user name and password in web page. The web server authenticates customer information using real SYSTEM account in J2EE server. The customer user name and password is not by itself system account in J2EE server.

2. Since travel agent logon using the application client, it will not go through the web login mechanism but rather directly calling the EJB layer.

So my question is :

1. Do you have other ideas on how to handle travel agent logon?

2. How would you represents travel agent logon in our diagrams?

Hope this can rise our discussion.

Even I had same doubt. But then after looking at the assignment I realised that Sun has not mentioned about Agent logon detail and because of which I've just ignored. I've considered only Customer logon and not Travel Agent Logon.
Coming to your question, ideally speaking each Travel agent should have their own logon which may differ from Customer logon. But this adds complications to the system and I believe because of which Sun must have ignored this fact of Agent logon. I would suggest not to mention about Agent logon.
I've just followed Customer Logon and not mentioned about Agent logon.

Cheers,

Thanks so much.

I think I may well just add some notes on assumption and focus on Customer Logon.
