Let me ask few more questions about Interface classes which is just given by assignment.
Here is my assignment about Interface class.
-----------------------------------------------------------------
Your data access class must be called "Data.java", must be in a package called "suncertify.db", and must implement the following interface:
package suncertify.db;
public interface DBMain {
// Reads a record from the file. Returns an array where each
// element is a record value.
public
String [] read(int recNo) throws RecordNotFoundException;
// Modifies the fields of a record. The new value for field n
// appears in data[n].
public void update(int recNo, String [] data)
throws RecordNotFoundException;
// Deletes a record, making the record number and associated disk
// storage available for reuse.
public void delete(int recNo) throws RecordNotFoundException;
// Returns an array of record numbers that match the specified
// criteria. Field n in the database file is described by
// criteria[n]. A null value in criteria[n] matches any field
// value. A non-null value in criteria[n] matches any field
// value that begins with criteria[n]. (For example, "Fred"
// matches "Fred" or "Freddy".)
public int [] find(String [] criteria)
throws RecordNotFoundException;
// Creates a new record in the database (possibly reusing a
// deleted entry). Inserts the given data, and returns the record
// number of the new record.
public int create(String [] data) throws DuplicateKeyException;
// Locks a record so that it can only be updated or deleted by this client.
// If the specified record is already locked, the current
thread gives up
// the CPU and consumes no CPU cycles until the record is unlocked.
public void lock(int recNo) throws RecordNotFoundException;
// Releases the lock on a record.
public void unlock(int recNo) throws RecordNotFoundException;
// Determines if a record is currenly locked. Returns true if the
// record is locked, false otherwise.
public boolean isLocked(int recNo)
throws RecordNotFoundException;
}
--------------------------------------------------------------------
Accoding to assignment, There are String[] array values when transforming
the data. I don't think it is good for coding so that I'm concerned about
making hotel class to transfer and manipulate data.
As it goes by, I don't need the interface class using String[] array method.
I only need the Hotel Class.
Here is my quesiton.
########################################################################
Is it possible not to use interface class but to use my one hotel object class? But i will just implement interface class to my own object class(DAO)
