Passed with 151/155

[Marre Mask]

Hi everyone.
I just wanted to share my success with you all.
I just got my result back one week after I wrote the additional test.
This is my report:
This report shows the total points that could have been awarded in each section and the actual number of points you were awarded. This is provided to give you per-section feedback on your strengths. The maximum possible # of points is 155; the minimum to pass is 124.
General Considerations(maximum = 58): 54
Documentation(maximum = 20): 20
GUI(maximum = 24): 24
Server(maximum = 53): 53
I would like to thank everone taking part in this forum. It helped my a great deal.
Maybe a go for the SCWCD now.

Congrats ! again
I have some questions ?
1. I have not used any patterns as I never felt the need for any - which patterns according to you are absolutely necessary ??
2. What have you provided in the GUI menubar?? Is it needed at all?
3. Apart from Javadocs have you provided anyother help ( except for running instructions)??
Any other comment would be highly appreciated
All the best

I think you should use patterns since they are well known solutions to some of the problems with this assignment. At least I used a couple of them. What it all comes down to is how you can justify the way you built the solution.
2. What have you provided in the GUI menubar?? Is it needed at all?
I only provided a exit option in the menybar. I think most of the GUI-clients created today uses menubars so I think it's needed.
3. Apart from Javadocs have you provided anyother help ( except for running instructions)??
I provided a text document explaining how to use the client as it says in the assignment.
Any other comment would be highly appreciated
All the best

GOOD LUCK!!

:::::::::RMI problem :::::::
I am using RMI
the first time the server is started and the clients login all works fine BUT if the Client exits and then logs in again it throws a Null pointer exception
I traced it an found that it gets a null reference to the RandomAccessFile object - the second time
Where do you think is the problem - what goes wrong the second time??
