hi everybody there, could u please tell me what does this mean in the assignment specification: " To connect with your server, you should create a client program.this implementation should include a class that implements the same public methods as the suncertify.db.Data class although it will need different constructors to allow it to support the network cofiguration"
the impression what i got was from the above was to create two db.data class,one for networking and other for local.Is that right? and if then could u tell me whether lock/unlock method should be implemented in the local mode"

the impression what i got was from the above was to create two db.data class,one for networking and other for local.Is that right? The first goal is to use the same Data class to access the file whether in local or remote mode. If you created two different classes, then what code would be different? You still have to open the file and read, write. That code is already done.
and if then could u tell me whether lock/unlock method should be implemented in the local mode It will not be necessary to lock in local mode since no other user should be accessing the file.

Although locking is not needed in Local mode but 1. The Data class should not have any idea whether it is serving a local or remote request. 2. Neither should the client side know about the mode. 3. Only the layers that interface the client and the server sides should know about the mode. So, you need only one Data class which has the required functionality. I'm assuming that you are modifying (instead on extending) Data class and are implementing locking mechanism inside Data class. -Paul. ------------------ Get Certified, Guaranteed! www.enthuware.com/jqplus
