Just got my results after nearly 5 weeks after taking the essay exam :
(Bodgitt and Scarper version 2.1.2)
This report shows the total number of points awarded for each section. The maximum number of points is 400, to pass you need a score of 320. Section Summary: Section Max Actual Points Points General Con: 100 82 Documentation: 70 63 OOD: 30 30 GUI: 40 40 Locking: 80 80 Data Store: 40 40 Network Server: 40 40 Total: 400 375
I have never posted on this forum before but it was extremely helpful
to me while taking the assignment - please feel free to ask me any questions about my design decisions - they are summarised as follows :
I used RMI
Client could lock a record
RecordLockManager used a HashMap of Longs to store locks (cookies)
No timeout on locked records (I wanted to keep it simple)
Used basic IO and RandomAccessFile to update the database file on disk.
Thanks to all the people on this forum for their help.
John.
