New South Wales Government - Department of Lands
Government Property Register
The NSW Department of Lands is a world leader in land management, maintaining 3.5 million land titles. The management of government controlled land is coming under increased scrutiny – particularly from a financial aspect.
A project to build a new Government Property Register was initiated to maintain government controlled land including ownership history, leases and valuations. Data is primarily updated through a complex set of automated interfaces from Lands' source-of-truth systems. In addition, using a web user interface, Lands administrators and government agencies can update data manually. This is particularly useful for the agencies as they can use the system in place of their own land management system.
The architecture includes: an n-tier J2EE architecture web application, integrating the Spring framework, Hibernate, Java Server Faces and POJOs as the main technologies. Velocity was used to template web pages. GPR subscribes to data from multiple legacy systems through a SOAP-based ESB and web-services using Axis. Publishing of data was done through triggers and stored procedures in an Oracle database. The Eclipse development environment was used.
