-----------------------------------------------
here's a brief design decision of mine:
1) modified data class and used RMI;
2) used a LockManager class to monitor the locks, it uses singleton pattern. and it's the only place i explicitly used design patterns;
3) allow users to switch modes using a dialog;
4) a very simple gui, with 2 menu items, a main frame (divided into 3 panels), gridbag layout for the panels. the only fancy feature i used is the ItchedBorder for each panel;
5) only throw RemoteException(wrapper for all) from server to client;
6) documentation is simple, i wrote a 4-page html user manual with some images to show the screenshots.
in general , i have packages and classes:
1) client:
StartDialog (to switch)
FBNClient (main gui)
DataInterface
RemoteDataClient
LocalDataClinet
2) Server
DataServer
DataServerImpl
3) Data
Data
LockManager
DataInfo
FieldInfo

Thank u very much!

Congrats An, you did very well. By the sounds of your GUI, you should have gotten 24/24.
Mark

thanks everybody.
xiaoma, both my LocalDataClient and RemoteDataClient implments the same interface DataInterface. The only difference between them is that remote one's constructor does a lookup for the remote dataserver and then use it as the data source. the local one uses the data as its data source.
