I recently played around the mvc pattern in Java 8. I have implemented a small exam registration system having two views : student and teacher views. It detects duplicate registration and check that the student ID is in the form xxxxyyyy where x = letter and y= digit.
Here is a package diagram with calculated instability.
Here are some views:
CONTROL PANEL:
STUDENT:
TEACHER:
Source Code:
Project structure:
Registration
Exam
Controller
CPanelUI
StudentUI
TeacherUI
Althought this system is working properly and following all the stable dependencies principles, we to add an observer pattern between views and the model to make it more scalable. And that is the next thing I will add to this system. Stay tuned. Feel free to drop your comments...
