Software reuse is considered one of the most effective ways of achieving higher productivity improvement. In this paper we propose an object persistency reuse framework to overcome the issues such as database connection handling problems, time consuming unit testing for database access modules, and larger maintenance cost due to the frequent changes in the target applications specifications. Th...

In this article we present the design of a database adapter for the Google Datastore and the Vaadin Rich Internet Application Framework. The adapter allows us to develop Vaadin applications that can use different database systems and can be deployed in a private infrastructure as well as in the Google App Engine platform. The adapter uses a two-level cache schema to improve performance and redu...

Security in WEB applications has become a major concern for the scientific and business communities today. An increasing amount of money is being spent for handling information security. . Therefore, giving the proper importance of handling information security, the paper focuses on: definitions of software security, vulnerabilities and risks, dealing with various threats and vulnerabilities, t...

Today’s dynamic web-based applications have become a normal and critical asset to an organizations business. They come with an increase in the number of web vulnerabilities and attacks. These weaknesses allow hackers to focus their attention on attacking this important information source. The most common vulnerability is cross-site scripting (XSS) and one of the Open Web Application Security pr...

Web Applications provide wide range of services to its users in an efficient manner. Web based attacks are increasing with the intent to harm the users or the reputation of particular organization. Most of these attacks occur through the exploitation of security vulnerabilities found in web applications. These vulnerabilities exists because developer focuses more on the development of the appli...

This reports presents a runtime solution to a range of Web application security vulnerabilities. The solution we proposes called SecuriFly consists of instrumenting the application to precisely track the flow of data. When a potential vulnerability is observed, the application is either terminated to prevent the vulnerability from being exploited or special recovery code is executed and the app...
