Q & A

What technologies are used in this virtual banking project?

The project uses Java Server Pages (JSP) for the front end, Java for the back end, MySQL (using MySQL Workbench) for the database, and Tomcat 8.5 as the server.

How does the account creation process work in this system?

Users can create accounts by filling out a form with personal details such as name, email, phone number, and date of birth. Once the user submits the details, the admin reviews and approves or rejects the account. If approved, the account is created in the system.

What role does the admin play in managing user accounts?

The admin verifies user details during account creation, approves or rejects new accounts, and can view all user information and transaction history. The admin also manages account statuses and handles administrative tasks.

How does the net banking functionality work for users?

After account creation, users can set up their net banking by providing a username and password. Once logged in, they can check their account balance, view transaction history, update their profile, and change their password.

What is the process for depositing money into an account?

To deposit money, users provide their account number, and the admin or cashier handles the deposit by crediting the specified amount into the user's account. The transaction is immediately reflected in the user's balance.

Can users transfer money between each other in this banking system?

Yes, users can transfer money to other users by specifying the recipient's account number and the amount to be transferred. The system updates both the sender’s and recipient’s account balances.

How does the system track and display transactions?

The system tracks all transactions, including deposits, withdrawals, and transfers, and stores them in the database. Users can view their transaction history, and the admin can access a comprehensive list of all transactions made in the system.

What happens when a user transfers money to another account?

When a user transfers money, the system deducts the specified amount from the sender's account and adds it to the recipient's account. The transaction is logged and visible in both users' transaction histories.

How does the admin verify user transactions and account activities?

The admin can view all transactions based on account numbers, checking for credits, debits, and transfers. The admin ensures that all activities, including account creation and money transfers, are properly logged and approved.

Are there any limitations or issues with the banking system as described in the script?

One potential limitation mentioned is the lack of SMS integration for notifying users about their account number. Additionally, there was a small confusion in the admin section where a debit transaction was logged without transferring money to the correct user.
