Thanks

Hi! I suppose u have read ur instructions very well and read the part of the instructions that says
...and must implement the following interface..
If u wanna use RMI u could use Adapter Design pattern that way u could work around the defiency of the given interface! U could also get Max's book, it totally good and also get Andrew's upcoming book!Cheers

Hi Laura,

The problem with changing the interface (as opposed to implementing the given interface as mentioned by Saheed) is that it means that any other programs that are coded to the original interface will no longer work.

While Sun have apparently decided against automatic testing of the Data class (for the moment at least), they still have some programs that verify that your Data class does implement the given interface. So any changes could result in an automatic failure.

Regards, Andrew
