ClientER Progress Presentation Omar Jamal Stéphane Lee Marcel Sauvé
Client Description • Company CEO’s named Alexandra Russell and France Landry • French tutoring and camp services • They need a way to manage their client data! • http://www.frenchsolutions.ca/
Program Description • Company needs a program, we need to program! • Therefore, we create an application named ClientER Client database for services and income Designed specifically for FrenchSolutions Helps company convenience and efficiency
Program Features • The database will include several features: 1. Mass mailing services 2. Tax return print table 3. Encryption for security 4. Compression for storage 5. Network updating for easy access 6. All basic database table options View, add, delete, edit, print, search, save
Task Division Our company is formed of three individuals: • Marcel Network, compression and encryption • Omar GUI pages; login screen, registration, and emergency data • Stéphane Database GUI and functions, and company relations
Login Page GUI • Contains hashing for password security • Only one main account, as requested by FrenchSolutions • Logo design
Menu GUI • Includes quick access options • Adds to database memory, which is already loaded into Vector of Vectors from main file
Database GUI (cont…) • Add and removes columns • Edits data and saves it to file • Filter for quick easy search • Sorting, which can be used for mass mailing • Column order does not affect data • Allows backup
Encryption and Network • Encryption used on database files • Server application manages database updates • Allows for communication between server application and client (useful for multiple registrations)
Past Problems and Solutions - Omar • Problem #1: The login name and password was stored as regular strings, which is unsafe. • Solution #1: SHA method is used. • Problem #2: Adding a new client by taking from JTextFields directly is inefficient. • Solution #2: Made a new class ‘Client’ to hold all information of each individual client.
Past Problems and Solutions - Stéphane • Problem #1: The database would not load properly from file. • Solution #1: A program called XVII was used to debug the file. RandomAccessFile class was used to read and write. • Problem #2: The table was difficult to make by using a series of JTextFields. • Solution #2: The Jtable class was used.
Past Problems and Solutions - Marcel • Problem #1: Custom encryption is easily breakable. • Solution #1: Use Java Crypto classes. • Problem #2: Multi-Threading caused massive computer breakdowns. • Solution #2: Do not use multi-threads
Current Problems • Network issues with server connection (Java crashing) • Mass mailing is difficult to implement using email server • Camp registrations based on date should be implemented
To do’s • Connecting all ClientER work together • Emergency contact pane • Financial database linked to clients, and printing • Complete file updating on the network • Fixing all bugs • Client documentation/paperwork • Adding all of their clients to the database
Demos • We will now demo the program ClientER. • 1. The login and menu pages • 2. The database functions • 3. The network abilities
