Project Wrap-Up
C
ongratulations! You've made it through a myriad of complex topics and intricate details.
We've covered a lot of information that will help you pass the Sun Certified Java Developer
(SCJD) exam, and we've exposed you to some of the new features of JDK 5. This chapter sum-
marizes some of the architectural decisions we confronted during the completion of our
sample project, and it wraps up some of the loose ends regarding packaging and running the
application. In this chapter we will cover
•
Understanding the design decisions
•
Finding out where to get the code samples
•
Compiling and packaging the application
•
Creating a manifest file
•
Running the application in local mode
•
Running the application in network mode
•
Running a multithreaded test client
•
Packaging the submission
Figure 9-1 presents an overview of the Denny's DVDs 2.0 application.

Note
Normally you would expect to see an overall diagram of an application drawn from left to right, or
top-down—in other words, the client would normally be in the far left of the diagram or in the top location.
There is a reason we have drawn the diagram bottom-up, though: it matches the way we have developed
the project through this topic. We started with the
DvdDatabase
class in Chapter 5, proceeded with the RMI
and sockets classes in Chapters 6 and 7, and built the GUI classes in Chapter 8.
