Application using the MVC Architecture

What it does?

This work presents an implementation of the MVC (model-view-controller) software architecture, using a car repair agency as the application's domain.

MVC Architecture

Application

NOTE

The application was primarily aimed to portuguese speakers, so the GUI and the code have a lot of portuguese words and phrases.

How to run?

• Clone the Repository

  $ git clone https://github.com/alexandreclem/MVCapplication.git

• Compile - creates the binaries (.class)

  • Within the src directory, run:

    $ javac -d ../bin ./model/*.java
    $ javac -cp ../bin -d ../bin ./controller/*.java ./persistence/*.java
    $ javac -cp ../bin -d ../bin ./view/*.java
    $ javac -cp ../bin -d ../bin ./main/*.java        

  • A new directory bin with all compiled files will be created inside the project root directory

• Execute

  • Within the src directory, run:

    $ java -cp ../bin main.Main

• The data directory:

  • This folder stores the application persisted data (serialized objects)

NOTE

All the files are already compiled and ready to execution, moreover, is presented a previously created data.bin for tests. That is, you can test the application just by doing the "Execute" phase from the last section.
