Thanks Andrew for your quick response.

I have all the specs in Japanese and when I took a closer look at the background info section I suddenly got the feeling that I needed to save new flight information because 'keep flight schedule information' in Japanese comes out as 'save flight schedule information' in backtranslation). I was referring to the bit just before 'Your assignment is to complete this project' etc. But the section you quote is definitely exactly like my specs.

So I take it that the background info is just letting me know that someone at some later stage willhave the job of including that add, modify, delete functionality. I just need to make sure that they can easily add on to my framework. Yes?

By the way, the comments in my assignment are in Japanese but the DB implementation cannot handle double-byte chars. So my GUI will end up with a mixture of English and Japanese if I choose to do it in Japanese. I was going to do the GUI in English to match the DB info and just write the comments in code and other documentation in Japanese. Does that sound like a fair approach? I don't suppose I would get away with writing the documentation in English?

Thanks for the advice. It will cut my workload in half. Maybe.
Hi again.

Another quick question. I come from a Struts-ey background and we commonly use JavaScript or transaction tokens to prevent users from submitting again before processing is complete. Typically this means that when they click buttons quickly ad repeatedly a warning dialog appears.

Welcome to the world of Swing...

Do I need to worry about this kind of thing in the GUI, or am I thinking too hard.
Hi all.

I am getting started on the SCJD, but I have a rather fundamental and simple question that's bugging me. The specs seem to be saying that I need to implement the public methods in Data.java, which include add, modify and delete methods. It also says the program needs to save flight schedule info on a number of airlines and flight routes.

So in terms of GUI, would I be right in having about 2 screens (other than a connection dialog), one for search and booking/unbooking that has a big JTable, and one for adding, modifying, deleting that uses lots of input widgets like textboxes?

I have read The Sun Certified Java Developer Exam with 1.4 by Habibi et. al and Kathy Sierra's Java 2 Sun Certified Programmer & Developer for Java 2, but I'm really unsure.
