Hi, For connecting to the database I display a dialog which allows the user to select whether they would like a local or remote database connection. If remote is selected I display a text field which allows the user to enter the hostname of the machine wishes to connect to. I was wondering, for the local mode, if I should allow the user to select the db.db file to connect to i.e. with a file chooser dialog Any suggestions would be appreciated Brian
The requirements are very clear, -- in local mode, the user must be able to specify the location of the database. Eugene.
Must? I never saw that, and in my submission I hard coded the location of the db.db file, user cannot specify the location and didn't lose any points. Mark

Perhaps your assignment was different. Did you have this in your instructions: ".. the program must allow the user to specify the location of the database, and it must also accept an indication that a local database is to be used, in which case, the networking must be bypassed entirely"?

Yes in the Network approaches section. And I took it to mean which mode to be in. The Location of the database is it locally or remotely. So my start of the client was either "java -jar client.jar" for local mode or "java -jar client.jar <<serverAddress>>" for remote mode. This fulfilled that requirement. Mark
I agree. Here's the link: http://ej-technologies/jprofiler - if it wasn't for jprofiler, we would need to
run our stuff on 16 servers instead of 3.
