PROJECT DESCRIPTION
 ONLINE CHAT ROOM

Introduction:
The term chat room is primarily used by mass media .The term can thus mean any
technology ranging from real-time online chat over instant messaging and online
forums to fully immersive graphical social environments. Chat room is a website which
helps to share information via text with a group of other users. Generally speaking, the
ability to converse with multiple people in the same conversation differentiates chat
rooms from instant messaging programs, which are more typically designed for one-to-
one communication. Chat rooms are just like a meeting place where people can talk
simultaneously over a common platform and offers a world full of opportunities to
interact with new people. The users in a particular chat room are generally connected via
a shared interest or other similar connection, and chat rooms exist catering for a wide
range of subjects.

Chat rooms usually have stringent rules that they require users to follow in order to
maintain integrity and safety for their users. Particularly in rooms for children, rules
usually do not allow users to use offensive language, or to promote hate mail, violence
and other negative issues.

Sometimes chat room venues are moderated either by limiting who is allowed to speak
(not common), by having comments be approved by moderators (often presented as
asking questions of a guest or celebrity).
Problem analysis:
In Earlier times, the modes of communication or interaction among relatives, friends and
individuals were not so advanced and instant. The interaction was done using telephones,
posting letters etc. Inspite all, the modes used cost heavily. The entire aspect of
communication between individuals, relatives and friends was not much revolutionized
and it was not possible to meet several new individuals, whom we might not have come
in contact with. It was difficult to keep in touch with people staying far away as
interacting cost excessive bills that one have to pay for ISD and STD calls which resulted
in decrease in the interacting time among individuals.

Objectives of the Project:

• The primary aim of a chat room is to provide ease to the users to share
information via text with a group of other users. It provides the ability to converse
with multiple people in the same conversation and provides a platform which
offers a world full of opportunities to interact with new people. Chat room allows
users to get connected via a shared interest or other similar connection and offers
categories based on different subjects.
• Chat room provides an ideal platform for people who feel depressed and lonely
because it offers an easy way to find different individuals ready to become friends
and helps cheering them up.
• The chat room is they offer direct communication with people around the world,
which broadens horizons and tolerance between individuals and communities.

Scope of the Project:

• The chat room focuses on virtually any aspect of human endeavor or interest.
• It aims at providing a way of communicating by sending text messages to people
in the same chat-room in real-time. It aims at providing text-based variety.
 • It includes variety of graphics which can be added to the chat experience, in either
2D or 3D (employing virtual reality technology).These are characterized by using
a graphic representation of the user (avatar) that can be moved about a graphic
background or in a graphic environment.

Proposed System:
• The purpose of the online chat room is to provide ease to the users to share
information via text with a group of other users. It provides the ability to converse
with multiple people in the same conversation and provides a platform which
offers a world full of opportunities to interact with new people.

• It aims at providing a graphical multi- user environment by providing special

features such as avatars that appear next to ones name, emoticons which can be
used to help depict how one is feeling while chatting, sounds etc.

Usage:
• The chat room website offers users to register for the chat room of their choice.
The users choose a user name and password, and log into a particular room.

• Inside the chat room, generally there is a list of the people currently online, who
also are alerted that another person has entered the chat room. To chat, users type
a message into a text box. The message is almost immediately visible in the larger
communal message area so that other users can respond.

• Users can enter chat rooms and read messages without sending any and can take
part in discussions or read the discussions being held without taking part in the
discussions. This practice is called lurking. The discussions benefit some people a
great deal without even offering to enrich it with their own information and ideas.

• Chat rooms usually have stringent rules that they require users to follow in order
to maintain integrity and safety for their users. Particularly in rooms for children,
rules usually do not allow users to use offensive language, or to promote hate
mail, violence and other negative issues. Also chat rooms often do not allow
 advertising in their rooms or flooding, which is continually filling the screen with
repetitive text. Typing with caps lock on is usually considered shouting and is
discouraged.

Requirements:

Language used: JAVA (jdk1.6.0_03)

Java is a programming language originally developed by James Gosling at Sun

Microsystems (which is now a subsidiary of Oracle Corporation) and released in 1995 as
a core component of Sun Microsystems' Java platform. The language derives much of
its syntax from C and C++ but has a simpler object model and fewer low-level facilities.
Java applications are typically compiled to bytecode (class file) that can run on any Java
Virtual Machine (JVM) regardless of computer architecture. Java is a general-purpose,
concurrent, class-based, object-oriented language that is specifically designed to have as
few implementation dependencies as possible. It is intended to let application developers
"write once, run anywhere".

The java programming language has many features. The language is platform
independent, simple, object oriented, robust, distributed, portable, dynamic, secure,
performance, multithreaded, interpreted, architecture neutral.
Database used: My SQL Server 5.0

MySQL is a relational database management system (RDBMS) based on SQL

(Structured Query Language).It is a relational database management
system (RDBMS) that runs as a server providing multi-user access to a number of
databases.

MySQL Server software is the most reliable, secure and up-to-date version of MySQL for
cost-effectively delivering E-commerce, Online Transaction Processing (OLTP), and
multi-terabyte Data Warehousing applications. It is a fully integrated transaction-safe,
ACID compliant database with full commit, rollback, crash recovery and row level
locking capabilities. MySQL delivers the ease of use, scalability, and performance that
has made MySQL the world's most popular open source database.
