U.S Department of the Interior

Enterprise Web Application development for U.S Department of the Interior

Date : October 2009 – Present

Description : To develop a web based, and user friendly reports using Java technologies.

Project Detail

The project is about water resources management, and several reports have to be prepared, the basis of which is data related to the water resources. Tri-Force has been serving the needs to convert the static content of the reports into dynamic content so that recent updates are easily reflected, and the corresponding changes are easily made in the database.
As per the requirement of our government clients, Tri-Force provides customized report generation and views in formats such as .pdf and Excel. The privileged user can modify the content through form based submission. Acknowledgement is provided on successful updates in the database or in case of errors (e.g. connection to database could not be established) if any.

Relevancy

Tri-Force has extensive experience with the analysis, web development and deployment of Web based reporting systems. Tri-Force expertise would lend itself greatly to the successful development and implementation of the evolving reporting challenges that will be required for the Department of the Interior –RGP’s web development system.
The latest version of the Java Framework is used to create the initial data entry forms and reports will be used here.

Deliverables

  • Create, enhance, modify reports (application RGReports) using Java Server Faces 2.x Facelets/XHTMl Framework.
  • Continue to work with Denver’s Web Team to provide host services for application: BatchImages which create numerous images for incorporation into Data Sheets pages on the Western Colorado Area Office Water
  • Resources Web site with images created use NetCharts Pro’s 7 Lineset Graphs.
  • Enhance the Regional Water Resources Administration Console: AdminConsole application to allow managers to manger informational data, raw water data and metadata contained in various Web pages throughout these application(s). This includes management of data display as note(s) in the Water Resources Manager’s Notebook, metadata, and the Scheduled Releases graph.
  • Enhance application RGForms, RGForms allows users to manger informational data, raw water data and metadata contained in various Web pages throughout these application(s). This includes management of data display as note(s) in the Water Resources Manager’s Notebook and tmetadata.
  • Enhance and Modify the Upper Colorado Region Snowmap, Snow Water Equivalent, percent of normal, similar to the existing snowmap. The modify snowmap will incorporate various Google Maps’ functionality. Basin, NRCS defined, boundaries will be drawn. Major river systems, e.g. Colorado River, Rio Grande River will be drawn, as available.
  • The UC Region Snowmap will be created using Eclipse 4.1 (Juno) due to discontinued support for Google’s Web Toolkit, Version 3 w/NetBeans 7.x.
    Continued testing of the previous application’s functionality and all phases of the current application(s) enhancements. Perform Quality Assurance Risks test on the Project’s code base.
  • Resolve issues, which were not identified until late in the development/testing phase of the previous contract or during this contract. Any unused cost allocations will be used for application enhancements.
  • Further develop application Streamflow, integrating Oracle CURSOR-based application into our basic Streamflow application. An Oracle query which returns these data in the as an Oracle Reference Cursor.
  • Upper Colorado Region Snowmap and Manager’s Administration Console.
    Documentation on the application’s structure and code; required software sources (URLs), installation and configuration.
