1) System Requirements
----------------------

A News Agency (called e-News) wants to redesign their information grabbing and
information presentation processes with involvement of IT-Systems.
Potential users of the system are persons that collect news and other that retrieve 
that information. Beside them, also third party systems should be able to gather 
information out of InfoWarrior.
Therefore we can identify two possible scenarios:
* InfoWarrior will deliver the gathered information to other or proprietary systems
by using XML-Technologies.
* Discrete persons will retrieve the gathered information from InfoWarrior. As a 
prerequisite for this task the information has to be prepared in an ergonomic manner.
Another special requirement is easy maintenance of InfoWarrior, which presumes that
there will be no local system installations.
InfoWarrior should also be able to prepare information for the need of individual 
persons that are accessing the data.


2) System Design
----------------------

The resulting system that was designed to meet all requirements described in part 1
was a multitiered system built of components that use:
* XML
* XSLT
* Java Server Pages
* Java Beans
