    The document provides instructions for a programming assignment to modify a previous project to write customer objects to a serialized file. Students are asked to: 1. Create a FileHandler class with methods to open, write to, and close a serialized file 2. Create a Customer class with attributes like name, smoker status, and methods to write to file 3. Develop a GUI similar to the example shown, with additional button to close the file 4. Validate user input, write valid customer objects to the serialized file, and close the file. 5. Submit the completed Netbeans project for grading. Good programming practices like modularity and error handling are emphasized.

    APPLICATIONS DEVELOPMENT PRACTICE II (ADP262S) Date: 24 April 2023

    The Granger Bay Hotel School, located at Mouille Point in Cape Town, is part of the Faculty
    of Business Management Sciences of the Cape Peninsula University of Technology. A
    restaurant, which is open to the public, is also part of this facility. The restaurant has
    operated since the inception of the Hotel school in 1989 and is staffed by our students
    training under professional supervision. Located at the water’s edge of the Atlantic Ocean
    with breath-taking views of Robben Island, the restaurant offers fine cuisine (Halaal-
    friendly) in an elegant and peaceful setting.

    Make a copy of your previous Netbeans project application and then make the
    modifications to write values to a serialized file. A ser file cannot be opened for appending
    so you will have to change some of the logic.

    Step 1: Create a Java class called FileHandler, which includes these additional methods:
    a) openOutputSerFile(String filename) – opens/creates a ser file for writing
    a) processSerFile(Customer obj) - writes a string to the file
    b) closeOutputSerFile() – closes the file
    It may be useful to declare these methods as static.

    Step 2: Create a Java worker class using the Customer UML below:

    Customer
    title: String
    firstName: String
    lastName: String
    smoker: boolean
    staff: boolean (CPUT staff members receive a discount)
    constructors…
    getters…
    setters…
    writeToFile: boolean
    writeToSerFile: boolean

    The method writeToSerFile calls methods from the FileHandler class to:
    b) open a ser file called OutputSerCustomers for writing.
    c) write a ser object to the file

    Step 3: Write a Java program to produce a GUI, similar to the one shown below. The
    only difference to the previous version is the addition of a Close File button.

    Close file

    Close file

    Step 4:
    If the user clicks on the Save to File button, and the textfields are empty or they contain
    non-alphabetic characters, then an error message must be displayed in a JOptionPane
    dialog box. The textfields must then be cleared and the cursor placed in one of the
    textfields. Once the user has entered valid values then they must be used to instantiate
    and initialize a Customer object that must be written to the serialized file.

    Step 5:
    If the user clicks on the Close File button then the ser file is closed.

    Additional instructions:
     Make use of good programming practices:
    o modular programming techniques. One method should not do more than one
    logical operation.
    o Efficient algorithms and code
    o Good user interface design (experiment with fonts, colours, layouts, etc)
     A submitted solution application that does not compile, or does not produce any
    output will receive ZERO marks.
     Once completed, submit a zipped Netbeans project to the link on BB.
     Failure to follow instructions will result in penalties.
