The requirement document says,
You may choose between using RMI, or using serialized objects over TCP socket connections, to implement the database network communication. Your choice here will not affect your grade, but no other approach is acceptable. In either case, the program must allow the user to specify the location of the database, and it must also accept an indication that a local database is to be used, in which case, the networking must be bypassed entirely.
When they say "the program must allow the user to specify the location of the database", do I need to show a text field in a modal dialog along with radio buttons describe below to the user to enter the db file name?
When they say "and it must also accept an indication that a local database is to be used", do I need to throw a modal dialog with a radio button to select either remote or local?
Thanks a lot.
