Project Details
Background information and description
Callum’s Air Conditioning Service (CACS) is a Sydney-based company that carries out repairs, services, and installations of residential air conditioning systems. The owner, Callum Murray, requires a Java program to assist his business keep accurate records of repair, service, and installation bookings. Each booking that is made by a customer is for one or more repairs, services, or the installation of an air conditioning system at their place of residence. Each booking is carried out on a designated date. Payment for the booking is required to be received from the customer on the date of the booking. Currently, the maximum number of bookings that can be made for any particular date is five (5); CACS currently own five (5) vans and employ ten (10) air conditioning technicians. CACS does not accept bookings for either Saturday or Sunday.
The specific program requirements are detailed in section B(ii) of this document. To perform the tasks identified in section B(ii) your program will need to read data from, and write data to, a small number of text files that are detailed in section B(iii). The program will need to be Object-Oriented, utilising a small number of specified classes that are described in section B(iv).
Program Requirements/Functionality
The Java program must be object-oriented utilising the classes described in section B(iv) as a minimum; other classes may also be needed to solve the problem requirements. Upon program execution, read the data from the customers and services files into appropriate arrays or arraylists of objects (see section B(iv) for descriptions of the relevant classes). The daily bookings file(s) will be read into memory only when needed by the relevant menu choice. Your program should not assume that the files exist on the file system. If any of the files don’t exist, determine from the user if the files are in a different location or if they have different names, or if they wish to terminate the program; either load the files or terminate the program accordingly. After processing the relevant files, the program will display the main menu, which contains the following menu items:
1. Display Bookings
2. Make a Booking
3. Exit Program
Within the Java program implement the required functionality for each of these menu items as described below:
A. Display Bookings – The purpose of this menu option is to display all of today’s bookings. When this menu option is selected the program should determine what the current date is then list on screen all bookings that are booked for the current date. When listing the bookings for the current date the following summary data needs to be displayed for each booking:
Date, Booking ID, Customer ID, Customer Surname, Service Code(s)
After displaying the list of bookings for the current date display the submenu:
Display Booking Detail
Change Display Day
Set Fee
Exit Sub-menu
Implement Java code for these sub-menu items as follows:
1. Display Booking Detail – when this menu item is selected the program should display the details for a chosen Booking ID. For this chosen booking, display Date, Booking ID, Customer ID, Customer Surname, full Customer Address details, Service Code(s), Service Name(s), Service Price(s), and Total Fee Ensure that this information is displayed in a sensible and easy to read format with appropriate subheadings and labels as needed.
2. Change Display Day – The program should allow the user to change the list of displayed bookings to a different date. Doing so will display the summary list of bookings for the newly chosen date.
3. Set Fee - when this menu item is selected the program should enable the user to set the fee for a chosen booking. The fee for the booking should be set to that entered by the user only if it is valid. In this context, valid means that the value entered must be a positive numeric value that is no more than 10% less than the calculated total fee (based upon the services for the booking) (ie, the maximum discount that can be applied is 10% of the calculated total fee). If the fee is not valid do not change its current value. For example, if a booking has several services listed which, when calculated from the service information, totalled $500 then the minimum value which would be allowed for the total fee is 500 - 10/100 * 500 = 500 – 50 = 450 If the change to the fee for the booking is successful write the booking to the relevant booking file.
4. Exit Sub-menu – when this menu item is selected program control should return to the main menu.
B. Make Booking – The purpose of this menu item is to be able to make a booking for service, repair, or installation. To do this display the following sub-menu:
By Phone Number
By Surname
Exit Sub-menu
Implement Java code for these sub-menu items as follows:
1. By Phone Number – when this menu option is selected the program should perform a search for the phone number of the customer. For a matching phone number, the user should then be prompted for the date that the customer wishes to make a booking for. Note: before allowing the booking, the program must check if there are any bookings available for the chosen date. If the chosen date is available, then determine from the user which service(s) are required and then make the booking by generating a new Booking for it and storing the Booking in the appropriate array/arraylist. The new booking should also be written to the relevant booking file. Note: the case of adding a new customer is not covered in this project so if no matches for the phone number are found simply display an appropriate message for the user and return program control to the sub-menu.
2. By Surname - when this menu option is selected the program should perform a search for the customer surname. The program should display any matches found such that the correct customer can be identified (note: there may be more than one match when searching by surname). If the customer can be identified from the search results, then the user should indicate the date that the customer wishes to make a booking for. Note: before allowing the booking the program must check if there are any bookings available for the chosen date. If the chosen date is available, then determine from the user which service(s) are required; then make the booking by generating a new Booking and storing the Booking in the appropriate array/arraylist. The new booking should also be written to the relevant booking file. Note: the case of adding a new customer is not covered in this project so if no matches for the customer surname are found simply display an appropriate message for the user and return program control to the sub-menu.
3. Exit sub-menu – when this menu item is selected program control should return to the main menu.
C. Exit Program – the program should terminate when this menu item is selected. The program should warn the user if any changes have been made to any bookings and allow them to save the files if they choose to before exiting the program.
Text files to be processed
The data that is to be manipulated by your Java program is contained in the text files Customers.txt, Services.txt, and bookings-yyyy-mm-dd.txt. Examples of these files are found in the zip file for this project. The data within these text files will need to be read into memory by your program so that it may be manipulated to solve many aspects of the required functionality of this programming project. The text files have been created to conform to a particular format. The format for each file is described below:
File: Customers.txt
This file contains a full record of all customers that at one time or another have had their air conditioning serviced or installed by CACS. Each line within the file represents a customer, and has the following format:
Customer ID, Surname, First name, Phone, Address, Suburb, Postcode
where each data item is separated by a comma (,).
A brief explanation of each of these data items:
Customer ID: a unique numeric identifier for a customer
Surname: customer surname
First name: customer first name
Phone: customer phone number
Address: customer residential street address
Suburb: customer residential suburb
Postcode: customer residential postal code; numeric
File: Services.txt
This file contains a full record of the different services that CACS can provide for air conditioning systems. In this context, service means either repair, service, or installation. Each line within this file represents an individual service, and has the following format:
Service Code, Name, Description, Price
where each data item is separated by a comma (,).
A brief explanation of each of these data items:
Service Code: a unique numeric identifier for the service
Name: name of the service
Description: description of the service
Price: normal price for service or repair (before any discounts or surcharges)
File: bookings-yyyy-mm-dd.txt
There are multiple Bookings files. Each file represents the bookings that have been booked in for a specific date. The date of booking is incorporated in the filename for easy identification and processing by the program. For example, bookings for the date 21/09/2021 are in the file bookings-2021-09-21.txt. Each line within each file represents a booking, and has the following format:
Booking ID, Customer ID, Date, Total Fee, Service Code(s)
where each data item is separated by a comma (,).
A brief explanation of each of these data items:
Booking ID: a unique numeric identifier for the booking
Customer ID: the customer ID for this booking
Date: date when CACS carries out the booking; in the format dd/mm/yyyy
Total Fee: total price for the Booking that has been quoted to the customer
Service Code(s): the service code(s) to be carried out at the residence for the booking
Note: for the purpose of marking the assignment the number of lines of data and the data values in the text files will be replaced with different data by the marker. This is to ensure that your solution has not relied upon specific data values or the number of lines in the text files to work. You should therefore test your program with different data files before submission.
Required Classes
To write your solution for this assignment it is a requirement that you write appropriate code for the following java Classes.
Customer
Service
Booking
These classes are described in general terms as follows:
Customer class: the Customer class represents an individual CACS customer. The Customer class needs to store data for the customer ID (integer), customer surname (string), customer first name (string), customer residential street address (string), the customer residential suburb (string), and the customer residential postcode (string), customer phone number (string). As well as the normal methods that should be created for a class (eg, constructors, mutators, and accessors) you will need to decide upon other appropriate methods for this class based upon the general requirements of the assignment specification.
Service class: the Service class represents an individual service that CACS can perform. The Service class needs to store data for the service code (integer), service name (string), service description (string), and the price of the service (float). As well as the normal methods that should be created for a class (eg, constructors, mutators, and accessors) you will need to decide upon other appropriate methods for this class based upon the general requirements of the assignment specification.
Booking class: the Booking class represents an individual booking. The Booking class needs to store data for the Booking identification number (integer), the customer ID (integer), a list of service Codes for the services that are to be carried out (integer array or arraylist), the total price that was quoted for the booking (float), the date that the booking will be carried out (Date or string).
These classes must be incorporated into your solution. It is likely that you may also need to write other classes depending upon your solution method
