For your Assignment 2 Part 1 submission you are required to produce a Java implementation of the GUI for the Agriculture image viewer component of your overall Agriculture File Storing and Management (FSM) System.
The image viewer should fulfil the following requirements:
- To provide a simple password logging (authentication) component: this can be achieved as simply as having a username and password string fetch and compare type of authentication component. In other words, at login stage each user's username and password are compared against the user's stored details in your database. Note that it is acceptable if you have already opted for another more sophisticated design of this function.
- To provide an image search/filtering component: this should enable you via a suitably designed GUI to search your image database using a least three search criteria, which are detailed below. This function can be achieved as simply as implementing a JDBC component that enables you to execute a set of SQL queries, then display the resultsets as a shortlist that will be used by the image viewer described below. For the images search criteria you should consider at this stage implementing a database query by:
- Image name or filename
- Location of the image where it was taken.
- Timestamp of when the image was taken.
- Other criteria are also possible including combinations of the above.
- To provide an image browser/viewer component: this should enable you to implement a GUI component to select from the resultset (shortlist defined above) an image to be viewed. The GUI ought to display the image including its associated details stored in your image database.
6.3 Assignment 2 Part 2:
For your Assignment 2 Part 2 submission you are required:
- To complete and/or enhance the implementation of your Agriculture Image Storing, Viewing and Management (FSM) Java application, which you have specified in your Assignment 1 and shown in Assignment 2 Part 1.
- To design and implement an enterprise web application:
- To enable you via a web browser access your image database for instance to query the database about stored images, update their metadata, and/or download images.
- To upload new images to your image repository (ie file server). This will be discussed during class and further specifications and/or clarifications will be release as and when required.
- The above set of steps is intended to guide you through the design and implementation. If you have any query regarding your current design and implementation and its fit with the above requirements please let me know and/or discuss this with me during one of the Lab.
session.
- Your updated design document (if required).
- The necessary Java code, relevant J2EE resource, and sql script for me to test and review your implementation.
