passed with 148/155

Hi, All,
Just got my result as below.
Thanks for all kinds of help I got from this group.
I passed scjp on 4/16, downloaded scjd assignment
on 5/10, uploaded on 6/6, took the exam on 6/8, got result today (6/20).
I lost 3 point on GUI as I expected, since I implemented
everything on Windows NT using JDK1.3.
A little disappointed or puzzled with score on server.

That is an outstanding score!
So did you use RMI? Sockets?
How did you handle locking?
You got perfect on documentation, any suggestions?
How did you resolve remote vs local mode?
Did you allow the user to select mode via command line or gui?

Youliang, Congrats! for passing the exam.
I was wondering whether there is anything wrong with using
Windows platform. I am as well using JDK 1.3 on Windows 2000.
Since you mentioned about losing some points for using
Windows platform, I was curious.
Would appreciate your feedback.

Some details regarding my design:
Modifying the Data Class - implementing criteriaFind(String criteria) and lock()/unlock().
Using RMI for Networking Choice and Design of Data Server
Implementing Data Client - using Wrapper class and Factory class for local and networking mode, as well as the usage of a business layer between DataClientFactory and client GUI.
Creating the Graphic User Interface - extending AbstractTableModel, extending JDialog to a customized dialog, using a pop-up window to process booking request, providing the on-line help, displaying message dialog boxes.
