Hey folks,
I just started working on
SCJD the assigment.
The requirement mentions "The user interface should connect to the database using either a local or network based connection according to the user's choice." Somewhere down the line, it adds, "..In either case, the program must allow the user to specify the location of the database.........in which case the networking must be bypassed entirely."
Now in local mode, one can browse for a file.. and chose it as a db. How does one perceive this in network mode??
Another school of thought would be to simply replace the remotehost named
string with "localhost" in case of local db. (apparently, this contradicts sun's requirement).
So, which of these two approaches makes more sense.
Thanks in advance
