Can I ask users or evaluators to start rmiregistry? Or java -jar runme.jar [alone|server] is the only command users will run?
Thanks.
But why the instruction says no interaction with such numbers? How to understand that? It is easy to provide a simple input dialog for CSRs to enter such values, does that violate that interaction rule?
Thanks.
Maybe my understanding of the instruction is wrong. I am still confused here. How do you update one record when booking it for some customer? What value you will put there?
When you book one hotel room, or one record, you need to replace that record's last column value from blank to certain customer ID. According to the instruction, "The system you are writing does not interact with these numbers, rather it simply records them", so my solution is:
1) create a sample customer ID arry which contains something like"12345678", or "23456789", etc.
2) when doing booking, randomly select one ID from that ID array.

Is this ok?
Thanks.
In the jar file you got for this assignment, I remember there is a example java file, it shows you how to use this properties file. Its name should be "sample.txt".
The record no. is implicit. Remember each record has certain byte length. So each such length is counted as a record. The first record is counted as No. 0, the second one 1, and etc.
