Unhandled Exceptions in a Bank Application [modified]
-
I had a chance to walkin to Axis Bank branch in the Chennai suburb on Saturday afternoon. The connectivity to the server seemed to be weak and hence the personal bankers attending to the customers even warned to each customer of the little delay and then were trying to maximum solve the queries as much as possible. When my turn to the Personal Banker came and she was about to logon to the Menu Interface to my account in the application, she got a message '
java.lang.IllegalStateException' and that seemed to be an indication of Connection dropped again. Isn't it a true WTF that without quality testing the banking product has come into deployments? And interestingly, after a few tries it logged on to present a 'Maximum License Reached' but the app was still functioning. :mad: The logon was showing the name of the application asFinacle. This comes close to the heels when we discussed another Banking Issue [^] sometime back regarding a bad database design of storing customer data in multiple tables. -- modified at 6:01 Monday 29th October, 2007Vasudevan Deepak Kumar Personal Homepage Tech Gossips

OOPS. I thought they have a good system. Their Iconnect facilities are fair enough.
All C# applications should call Application.Quit(); in the beginning to avoid any .NET problems.- Unclyclopedia My Website | Ask smart questions

They do. They have a good customer care too. It is that WTF Finacle which is screwing things all along. Even in ICICI bank infinity which is powered by Finacle, when you logout it gives a JavaScript error since they use a ExecWB (Web Browser Object) to close the browser window, which is no longer supported. :mad:

When I belive a system is good tested and more or less secure, than it should be a bank system, shouldn't it? So seems to be my fault :). Cheers

Not to offend. But as long as the product or the application is in our cosy comfortable lap, it would sound and resemble that way. But there are integration paranoia, which any application should pass this litmus test to prove itself of its capabilities to the world. :)

True. That would be a very optimistic view.

Not necessarily. But those developers who brought out the buggy system had thier thought process the other way around -- Banking system is one of the systems. :-D
