Specifying the Database Location
When users start the client or server applications, they need to be able to specify where the
database is located.
For the Denny's DVDs application, we have determined that this entails the following:
•
In stand-alone client mode, the user must specify where the physical file is located.
•
In networked client mode, the user must be able to specify the URL or IP address of the
server computer, the type of server running (RMI or sockets), and the port number
the server is using.
•
In server mode, the user must be able to specify where the physical file is located, the
type of server (RMI or sockets), and the port number the server will use.
■
Note
You should not need anything so complex for your solution. Some of the options we are allowing for
are specifically to allow for all the options of this topic.
To allow these options to be entered in client mode, we are going to develop a dialog box,
as shown in Figure 8-30. The major part of this dialog box is the reusable panel shown in
Figure 8-31.
