I sorry for been stupid here, but how do I give that information to the TableModel?
In which method in the DBMain interface can I pass recNos to the GUI for it to make its map. Unless you mean the following:
1. return an array of ints containing record numbers: find() with empty criteria
2. GUI then performs a read() on each recNo.
That is a lot of roundtrips over RMI: with 100 records that would be 101 requests from the GUI to the Data layer, instead of one. And that would have to be repeated for every search.
I know perfomance is not specified in the assignment, but this is supposed to be a DEVELOPER exam. Or am I being to "real-world"?
Thanks for you help, by the way.
