My instruction.html says "Additionally, the program must be able to work in a non-networked mode. In this mode, the database and user interface run in the same VM and no networking is performed, and no sockets should be created. The user must be able to select the operating mode, although it is acceptable that the program stay in one mode once it has started up."
Is it acceptable that the user choose the operating mode with the command line used to start the client?
In my design the user can pass a server
ort name as parameter or nothing. In both cases if the RMI lookup finds no link to the remte server or localhost server it starts in local non-RMI mode. The command line makes the difference.
Kind regards
Charles.
