Standing Settlement Instructions Reference Database
SSI reference DB provides a common, single repository of Settlement Instructions of a Trade for BNY. It is used by clients of BNY to gather up-to-date information to enhance their internal Settlement Instructions and to provide their counterparties with complete settlement details. It is also used by BNY internal systems for enrichment of Trade messages and to support clients by allowing them to enrich trade messages with BNY settlement details. The system is a J2EE based application written on top of an extensive framework that provides standardization and easier development of applications within BNY. The architecture is extensible and secure, having a custom security framework. It contains modules like Settlement Instructions, Settlement Model, Place of Settlement, Settlement Method, Asset Type etc.
Struts and JSP was used in the presentation layer. IBM DB2 was used as the production database. MySQL server was used as a development database. Design patterns DAO, VO, Service Locator, Singleton etc. were used for implementation of the framework.
