Program Plan Intro

Defining a class in separate files:

  • User can separate the file by using three files such as interface file, implementation file and application file.
  • Interface file:
    • This file contains the definition of class.
    • The name of interface header file ends in “.h”.
    • This file also contains declaration of any function such as member function or friend function and overloaded operators that describes basic operations for the class.
    • This file contains comments for given function and operators are used.
  • Implementation file:
    • Implementation file contains the definitions for all declared functions and overloaded operations in interface file.
    • This file also contains member variables.
    • This file must have an include directive.
      • The given directive is represented by the quotes around the name of file.
      • Example: #include "sample.h".
    • The interface and implementation file usually contains the same name but end with different suffixes.
  • Application file:
    • The application file contains the main part of the program.
    • This file also contains any additional declaration of function and constant declaration.
    • This file also must contain an include directive of the interface file name.

What happens if you change the definition of a class by, say, adding an extra field, and then try to read back serialized objects created from the previous version of the class?
You must now write a method readVehicleData() in the ReservationSystem class, that reads this data, creates corresponding Vehicle objects and adds those objects to vehicleList. The name of the file that you read from should be selected using a file dialog box -- the name should not be passed to readVehicleData() as a parameter.
How would one go about creating a main class that calls those static classes, but in a seperate java file?
