FBN gui

" your user interface should be designed with the expectation of future functionality enhancements, and it should establish a control scheme that will support this with minimal disruption to the user when this occurs"
- I have implemented a Single FBNClient class and all my GUI related code is in this class.
- Do i need to follow any specific design pattern. Is there any examples, links for these design patterns.

Refer this article for command patterns as it will help you seperate the application logic from gui code.

Good luck

I am trying to use command pattern to seperate application logic from gui. I have implemented seperate classes for booking and search as explained in http://www.javaworld.com/javaworld/javatips/jw-javatip68.html.

my actionPerformed event looks like this.

public void actionPerformed(ActionEvent e) {
SearchCommand search=new SearchCommand(Dataclient d,String searchCriteria,MyTableModel model);
search.performSearch();
}
I am passing MyTableModel also because to update the JTable after every search. Is there a way to avoid passing MyTableModel and make the the SearchCommand Class independent? How do guys handle this situation

I am still confused about that part of the assignment. A pattern (command / action / whatever) does not help here, because they are not talking about the technical integration of new features but about the GUI integration:
"...establish a control scheme that will support this with minimal disruption to the user..."
The FBN user, not the developer ;-(
So: What do they really mean with this requirement???
Thanks

Your idea about sesion management is really excellent, brilliant, terrafic. Thanks. I will definately think about this schema.
