Is it possible to change the RMI Registry port number during runtime?
Thanks...I will test it again just to make sure...
Well, I have completed my assignment (thanks to JavaRanch) and will be submitting next week Tuesday and write on Wednesday...

But, I have implemented both create/delete functionality in the data class and am wondering if I should take it out. It does work, but I have not tested it fully. I know people has passed without implementing it. Should I take it out or leave it? Obviously providing an explanation on why I have not implemented it.

Thanks in advance!
I also get the same error...

Thank you for the help!
ok, I see your point. So, I should rather support the mode flag and then pop up a dialog on startup to get the file location or the server location?


default mode(no flag): Client runs expecting to connect via network.

"server" flag: Server runs expecting connections via network only.

"standalone" flag: Client and server both run in non-networked mode.



When my client starts I display a Dialog box so that the user can choose between a local or a remote database graphically. So, I don't see the need for the "standalone" flag. Should I put it in anyway?
My instructions:

The mode flag MUST be either "server", indicating the server program MUST run, "alone", indicating standalone mode, or left out entirely, in which case the network client and gui MUST run.



I am not sure what they mean by this statement?
Hi,

findByCriteria method comments:
* 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".)

My Question:
For the search "matches any value that begins with...", should I use regular expressions or will the String Object method "startsWith" be sufficient?

Thanks,
Thanks Hanna,

how did you implement the constants class if I may ask?

Thanks,
Wickes
Thank you Hanna,

what will be the best approach then? Constants defined in the class that uses them or a separate constant class for all other classes?

Thanks,
Wickes
Hi,

what should I do with String constants for things like button labels, dialog messages, error messages, etc.?

Should I:
1) Put all constants in a properties file and read them at runtime?
2) Declare them as constants at the top of my class?

Any other suggestions?

Thanks,
Wickes...
What about text for labels, error messages, etc. where do you put yours? in the properties file or do you hard code them in your source?
Thank you for the reply!
