Assessment details for ALL students Assessment item 2— Assignment 2 Due date: Friday of Week 10 ASSESSMENT Weighting: 35% Length: NA 1 Objectives The purpose of this assignment is to assess your competency in the use of networking protocols, thread programming, and database access in the development of distributed applications. Assessment task: Paired Programming Your task for this assignment is to design, implement, test and document a client/server application that allows multiple users to access stored data, or add new data. A distributed system often has a backend database for storing and retrieving business data. In this assignment, you are to implement a multiple-threaded client/server application for managing home inventory allowing all adult residents of the house access the stored details. The application also allows the house owner to add new item to the inventory. All users accessing the home inventory system should able to view the following data: 1. List of available categories of items stored 2. List of purchases of items 3. Specific details of all the items within a chosen category The home owner accessing the Home Inventory System should able to add a new purchased item to the list of purchases and additional details to the list within the specific category. Sever side Request for view Inventory The server creates a new thread for each client connection (thread-per-connection model). The server side receives client requests, processes them and return results. If the client request is to view information related to inventory, the server should parse the request received from the client and execute appropriate queries to extract data from the database and send the data back to the client. Multiple read requests are executed concurrently.Request for add inventory item If the client request is to add inventory item, the server should parse the request, execute database query to add the details to the appropriate table. This should be synchronised as multiple clients will be running through multiple threads. Client side The client side interacts with the user, parses the request and sends it to the server. It receives messages from the server and displays to the user. The query frontend provides a menu to let a user choose any of the functions continuously until the user chooses to exit the system. The Category list contains three categories and these are: 1. Furniture 2. Kitchenware 3. Appliance The database should have 4 tables and these are: 1. List of categories 2. List of purchases 3. List of furniture 4. List of appliances If the user selects the category 2 Kitchenware a message should be displayed informing no items are added yet. If the user wants to add an item, initially the purchase details should be collected followed by the data required within the category. There is no validation of users required. Assume the users do the right access and only the owner will choose the option to add an item. The test data required for the assignment are given in the file COIT20257Assign2Data.csv. Please refer to example source code given in Week 9 folder to access database programmatically, use prepared statements to insert and query database. Data Structures You may follow the following class design.  Category class To store the name of categories.  Purchase class To store and manipulate the details read from the given file including purchase date, price, supplier and location. It is assumed that all the purchases are from shops (no online purchases).  Furniture class This class stores the following details of a furniture: FurnitureType, setName, Warranty, and No. Of Pieces. A Funrniture purchase can be a set for example dining which includes table and number of chairs. Appliance class This class stores the following details of an appliance: applianceType, make, modelNumber, warrantyDatabase Utility class This class will have necessary data structures and methods to create the database and the Tables of Category, Purchase, and Furniture, Appliance, populate the tables, and extract data from the tables. Use Prepared Statements to populate the tables using values loaded from the file. Also use Prepared Statements to extract data and store in appropriate data structures.  InventoryServer class This class will have necessary data structures and methods to create the sockets for client connection, creating threads for each client. This class will have main() method to invoke methods from other classes to run the application.  InventoryClient class This class will display menus, take the user input, create socket and request connection to the server. This class will also send/receive the messages between the client/server. Coding Include necessary accessor, mutator methods, constructors, and toString() method for each class. Also, follow good coding practices, using meaningful names, camel case notation for naming, constants as necessary, and include meaningful comments. Paired Programming Complete the program design and coding in pairs. You choose another student from your tutorial to work with in consultation with your tutor. Distance students also can work in pairs. If there are any problems please contact the Unit Coordinator. Individual Report Your report should be written individually and submitted by each one of you. In your report clearly show your partner for the application development. Ideally, the Home Inventory System should be a cloud based application. This should allow the vendors to upload purchase details and documents such as Warranty certificate, purchase receipt, and instructions manual. Also, a user may want to access information while away from home, for example, while purchasing spare parts. When theft or damage caused by natural calamities happen, the data stored in a cloud can be accessed. The added convenience of having ubiquitous availability of access to Home Inventory System creates the necessity for additional security as home inventory is part of assets owned by individuals or families. 1. Write how the Home Inventory System can be extended to a ubiquitous distributed system focusing on the additional cyber security requirements and Java language constructs that could be used for implementation. You need to write a maximum of 500 words. 2. Provide a diagrammatic representation of the system architecture. 3. Include a test plan, and user instructions.Sample Output – Client side (user entries are shown in bold) Welcome to Home Invenotry System Enter a number beside the menu 1. Purchase Details 2.

Software Tools for Building the Application You can use TexPad or NetBeans to develop your application. You have to install MySql server and configure to work within NetBeans and use the java program to create database, populate it and query the database. Follow incremental building of application. Test the programmatic operation of database before creating multiple threads. References and Source Code Files. Refer to the file obtained from the following link for installing and setting up the MySql server. MySql Server Installation and set up File Please refer to the given files in Week 9 available from the link given below. Example of Programmatic Database Operation of MySql database File .
