- Title: Employee Data Manager
- Type: Application
- Source: EmployeeDataManager.java
- Description:
- Reads and parses a text file containing employee information; parses,
- and sorts the information based on name, age or SS# (selected by user).
- The information is then displayed in a scrollable text window.
-
- Detailed Description:
-
- Allows the user to interactively scroll through a list of employees; sort the list
- on either name, age, or SS#; enter information for a new employee; and store
- that information in a single file.
-
- The concepts of data object encapsulation are illustrated, providing construction,
- validation, and ordering of each data field within the object class that constructs
- that field.
-
- File operations are implemented in a separate class. Each record is written as
- a fixed-width byte array, allowing the easy addition of a modification method
- by the programmer.
-
- Currently, due to the limitations of browsers with regard to file access, this
- program can only be run as an application. However, it is designed to be run
- as an applet as well, in expectation of the removal of the aforementioned
- browser file access restrictions.
