Hello there,
This is another one of those "Is this right or am I just being stupid?" moments. I've had a lot of them doing this project.
My confusion relates to the overall working of the URLyBird booking system; at the moment I'm just trying to visualise the UI, and it doesn't make sense.
No where in the requirements for the User Interface does it say that you need to provide functionality for
adding records. And yet, in the DBMain interface it clearly shows methods for both adding and deleting records.
After writing a basic class to have a look in the data file I've been provided, I can see that there are about 30 records. I haven't checked, but I assume some are booked and others unbooked, and in the UI you need to provide functionality for booking a record. Fair enough, that makes sense.
But say Hotel Foobar in Nowheresville has 2 rooms available on the 13th of the month and want to sell the bookings through URLyBird; that means you are
adding rather than
booking records. Currently I have server side code that allows me to do this .... but its not in the requirements for the UI.
Has anyone done this blooming thing? Are we only supposed to do a server-side implementation of the methods and not bother with the client side functionality? Have I missed something? Or is this another example of Sun writing crap documentation for stuff they charge �160 a wack for?
Confusedly,
Jon
