Abstract

This paper describes the development of a betting system for horse-racing on the Internet. The system is set up by using Java Web Server to run on the Windows NT platform. The server uses Java Servlets to handle the requests from customers, to connect the database server, and to generate dynamic content for the Web browser. HTTP (Hypertext Transfer Protocol) is combined with SSL (Secure Sockets Layer) protocol to guarantee secure transactions through the Internet. The system allows registered WWW users to access the Web site for processing real-time betting transactions and obtaining on-line racing information
