Problem Statement:
You are required to write a Java program, named ShoppingCart, for a typical online shopping system. In which a customer can add and remove items to the shopping cart. The program will calculate the total bill as the items are added/removed to/from shopping cart and will display the amount via user friendly Interface on real time basis. Further, all orders will be saved in a backend database using MS Access so that the administrator could process the orders properly.

Detailed Description:
At start, your program should read Products Data from MS Access database file (sample data is given below) and display a GUI (i.e. Graphical User Interface) which should contain options for selecting quantity of products, sample is given below;

Fig. 1: Shopping Cart GUI

Here, the customer can select the quantity (i.e. 0 to 10) for available products by clicking on add (+) or remove (–) buttons; the cart should be updated on each action and correct amount after calculating the number of items, subtotal, shipping charges (shipping charges are given below) and grand total should be displayed.
When user clicks on “Place Order” then the program should check whether the cart contains any item or not. If cart is empty then a message “Cart is empty!” should be displayed. Otherwise, order details will be saved to MS Access database file and interface will be updated with initial values (i.e. zero quantity for each item and zero in amount fields etc.) as well.
Further, cross icon at top right corner of the interface should terminate the program and show the developer information (i.e. Student Id and name) via message dialog.

Fig. 2: Developer Info
Required Stuff:
Java Classes:
Product.java
Cart.java
DatabaseHelper.java (should contain all database related code)
MainClass.java (should contain GUI code)

Database file:
BSxxxxxxxx.accdb (must be same as your own VU student id)

Note: need to put database file in assets folder in NetBeans project directory; as shown below;

Fig. 3: Folder “assets” in NetBeans project directory
Sample Data:

Item Price ($)

1 Orange 2.0
2 Grapes 2.5
3 Banana 1.5
4 Mango 3.0

Tab. 1: Sample Products Data

No of Items Charges

1 0 $0
2 1 to 5 $0.5
3 6 to 10 $1.0
4 11 to 15 $1.5
5 16 to 20 $2.0
6 21 to 25 $2.5
7 26 to 30 $3.0
8 31 to 35 $3.5
9 More than 35 $4.0

Tab. 2: Sample Shipping Charges

Tab. 3: Products Table in MS Access Database file

Tab. 4: Orders Table in MS Access Database file
Important Things to Implement:
 For GUI, relevant components (i.e. JFrame, JPanel, JButton, JTextField and JLable etc.) from AWT and Swing packages should be used.
 You will have to use ucanaccess driver to connect to MS Access database. In this case, you are suggested to view the following video tutorial.

 For storing/fetching data to/from database, you will need to use proper SQL queries.
 You can use same Product and Cart Java classes as provided in assignment # 1 and also can make changes as required.
 Java classes must have proper Data Members and Member Functions along with Constructors, Standard Setters and Getters etc.
 Need to make sure that exceptions are managed properly throughout the program; especially NullPointerException, ClassNotFoundException and SQLException.
 All images, tables and sample data, given in this document, are just for reference purpose only; you have to provide your own implementations. It is not required to be exactly the same.

@Shaheen This idea solution of Java code you need to create a MS Access DB. and changes required to connect the MSADB.

Shaheen

It seems not the solution of above assignment. It’s totally different. As mentioned above we have also a database file and when we run our project it fetch data from ms access database and show it but the code you paste not describe the solution of above assignment question. If you have the correct solution arrange all files in the zip and upload it. Thanks

2nd Solution Idea
Listing 29.1 Source Code for ShoppingCartItem.java

    // This class contains data for an individual item in a
    // shopping cart.

    import java.net.URL;

    public class ShoppingCartItem implements Cloneable
    {
    	public String itemName;
    	public int itemCost;
    	public int quantity;
    	public URL descriptionURL;

    	public ShoppingCartItem()
    	{
    	}

    	public ShoppingCartItem(String itemName, int itemCost,
    		int quantity, URL descriptionURL)
    	{
    		this.itemName = itemName;
    		this.itemCost = itemCost;
    		this.quantity = quantity;
    		this.descriptionURL = descriptionURL;
    	}

    // The add method is a quick method for combining two similar
    // items. It doesn't perform any checks to insure that they are
    // similar, however. You use this method when adding items to a
    // cart, rather than storing two instances of the same item, you
    // add the quantities together.

    	public void add(ShoppingCartItem otherItem)
    	{
    		this.quantity = this.quantity + otherItem.quantity;
    	}

    // The subtract method is similar to the add method, but it
    // removes a certain quantity of items.

    	public void subtract(ShoppingCartItem otherItem)
    	{
    		this.quantity = this.quantity - otherItem.quantity;
    	}

    // You can store items in a hash table if you implement hashCode. It's
    // always a good idea to do this.

    	public int hashCode()
    	{
    		return itemName.hashCode() + itemCost;
    	}

    // The equals method does something a little dirty here, it only
    // compares the item names and item costs. Technically, this is
    // not the way that equals was intended to work.

    	public boolean equals(Object other)
    	{
    		if (this == other) return true;

    		if (!(other instanceof ShoppingCartItem))
    			return false;

    		ShoppingCartItem otherItem =
    			(ShoppingCartItem) other;

    		return (itemName.equals(otherItem.itemName)) &&
    			(itemCost == otherItem.itemCost);
    	}

    // Create a copy of this object

    	public ShoppingCartItem copy()
    	{
    		return new ShoppingCartItem(itemName, itemCost,
    			quantity, descriptionURL);
    	}

    // Create a printable version of this object

    	public String toString()
    	{
    		return itemName+" cost: "+itemCost+" qty: "+quantity+" desc: "+
    			descriptionURL;
    	}
    }

Note

One interesting thing about the ShoppingCartItem class is that it cheats when it comes to object equality. It treats any two objects with the same name and cost as being equal. If they have different quantities, they are still considered equal. This is usually not a good idea, since it can lead to confusion, but in this particular instance, it works nicely. If you have an item with some quantity value, you can search through the cart for the same object (ignoring the quantities) and if you find a matching object, you can just add their quantities together.

The next item on the agenda is the shopping cart itself. Since this is a very simple model of a cart, independent of the user interface, the cart should be observable. In other words, other objects should be able to watch the shopping cart to see when it changes. This allows you to write a user interface that updates itself whenever the cart is changed, yet you keep the user interface code out of the cart. The Observer/Observable mechanism is very handy for this sort of thing. The shopping cart is a subclass of the Observable class. Whenever the cart changes, it sends a notification to its observers. When you implement an observable object, you frequently need to notify the observers of different types of changes. For instance, in the shopping cart, you can add an item, remove an item, or change the quantity of an item. Since there is only one way to notify the observers that a change has taken place, you need to cram all that information into a single method call. You can accomplish this by creating an object that holds the information about the change. Listing 29.2 shows the ShoppingCartEvent class that holds the change information.

Listing 29.2 Source Code for ShoppingCartEvent.java

public class ShoppingCartEvent
{
// Define the kinds of changes that can take place
	public static final int ADDED_ITEM = 1;
	public static final int REMOVED_ITEM = 2;
	public static final int CHANGED_ITEM = 3;

// item is the item that is affected
	public ShoppingCartItem item;

// eventType is the kind of change that has taken
// place (add/remove/change)
	public int eventType;

	public ShoppingCartEvent()
	{
	}

	public ShoppingCartEvent(ShoppingCartItem item,
		int eventType)
	{
		this.item = item;
		this.eventType = eventType;
	}
}

Now you can create the shopping cart itself. All you really need is a vector object for storing the cart items and a variable for the total cost so far. You must also be sure that you always notify your observers whenever the cart changes. Another object may be keeping a duplicate record of all the items in the cart. If you add or remove an item from the cart without sending a notification, the other object will no longer have an accurate representation of the shopping cart. Listing 29.3 shows the ShoppingCart object.

Listing 29.3 Source Code for ShoppingCart.java

import java.applet.*;
import java.awt.*;
import java.net.*;
import java.util.*;

// This class is a simple container of shopping cart items.
// It is observable, which means that it notifies any interested
// classes whenever it changes.

public class ShoppingCart extends Observable
{
	protected Vector items;	// the items in the cart
	protected int total;	// the total item cost so far

	public ShoppingCart()
	{
		items = new Vector();
		total = 0;
	}

// Add a new item and update the total

	public void addItem(ShoppingCartItem newItem)
	{

// See if there's already an item like this in the cart
		int currIndex = items.indexOf(newItem);

		ShoppingCartEvent event = new ShoppingCartEvent();

		if (currIndex == -1) {
// If the item is new, add it to the cart
			items.addElement(newItem);
			event.item = newItem;
			event.eventType = ShoppingCartEvent.ADDED_ITEM;
		} else {

// If there is a similar item, just add the quantities
		ShoppingCartItem currItem =
			(ShoppingCartItem) 
			items.elementAt(currIndex);

		currItem.add(newItem);
		event.item = currItem;
		event.eventType = ShoppingCartEvent.CHANGED_ITEM;
	}

	total += newItem.itemCost * newItem.quantity;

// Tell the observers what just happened
	setChanged();
	notifyObservers(event);
	}

// Remove item removes an item from the cart. Since it removes
// n items from the cart at a time, if there are more than n items
// in the cart, it just subtracts n from the quantity.

	public void removeItem(ShoppingCartItem oldItem)
	{
// Find this object in the cart
	int currIndex = items.indexOf(oldItem);
	ShoppingCartEvent event = new ShoppingCartEvent();

	if (currIndex == -1) {
// If it wasn't there, just return, assume everything's okay
		return;
	} else {
		ShoppingCartItem currItem =
				(ShoppingCartItem)
				items.elementAt(currIndex);

// If you are trying to subtract more items than are in the cart,
// adjust the amount you want to subtract so it is equal to the
// number of items in the cart.

		if (oldItem.quantity > currItem.quantity) {
			oldItem.quantity = currItem.quantity;
		}

// Adjust the total
		total -= oldItem.itemCost * oldItem.quantity;

		currItem.subtract(oldItem);

		event.item = currItem;
		event.eventType = ShoppingCartEvent.CHANGED_ITEM;

// If the quantity drops to 0, remove the item entirely

		if (currItem.quantity == 0) {
			items.removeElementAt(currIndex);
			event.eventType =
				ShoppingCartEvent.REMOVED_ITEM;
		}
			
		}

// Tell everyone what happened

	setChanged();
	notifyObservers(event);
	}

// getItems returns a copy of all the items in the cart

	public ShoppingCartItem[] getItems()
	{
	ShoppingCartItem[] itemArray = 
		new ShoppingCartItem[items.size()];

	items.copyInto(itemArray);

	return itemArray;
	}
}

Now that you have the basic framework for a shopping cart, you can work on a user interface for it.

Creating a Shopping Cart User Interface

The user interface for an electronic shopping cart is rarely a simple thing. Many shopping cart interfaces are incredibly complex, but also extremely easy to use. You can keep the interface pretty simple and still create a useful shopping cart, however.

If you think about the structure of a shopping cart application, you’ll see that it really has two parts to it-the shopping cart and the catalog. When you are buying items, you look through the catalog of available items and select the ones you want. The catalog then sends these items to the shopping cart.

At some point, you go over to the shopping cart and review what you have selected. You may decide to put some of the items back, in which case the shopping cart must remove them from its list and possibly return them to the catalog. There are a number of ways to design a system like this. One of the more interesting ways is to create two separate applets-a catalog applet and a shopping cart applet.

Tip
It is frequently useful to split the user interface into separate applets. Many times, you can reuse one of the applets in another project without going through the pain of separating out the other parts of the user interface.

In order to implement this system with multiple applets, you need a way for the applets to locate each other. While applets can use the AppletContext class to find each other, your best bet is the AppletRegistry class, which was introduced in Chapter 10, “Inter-Applet Communication.” The AppletRegistry class is an observable class, which means that an applet can be notified whenever new applets are loaded. If you don’t use the registry, you must be prepared to occasionally poll for the other applets in case your applet starts up first.

For a simple user interface, you may decide to present a scrollable list of items both in the catalog and in the shopping cart. Unfortunately, the AWT List class leaves much to be desired when it comes to scrollable lists. The biggest problem with the List class is that is only stores strings. Since the strings you store in the scrollable lists are the strings the user sees, you can’t really hide any information in them. For instance, if you look at the information stored in the ShoppingCartItem class, you realize that you don’t want the URL for the item’s description clogging up space in the list.

Listing 29.4 shows an ObjectList class that allows you to associate an object with each entry in a scrollable list.

Listing 29.4 Source Code for ObjectList.java

import java.awt.*;
import java.util.*;

// This class is a special version of a scrollable list that
// associates an object with each element in the list.

public class ObjectList extends List
{
	Vector objects;	// the objects that correspond to list entries

	public ObjectList()
	{
		objects = new Vector();
	}

	public ObjectList(int items, boolean multiSelect)
	{
		super(items, multiSelect);
		objects = new Vector();
	}

	public synchronized void addObject(Object ob)
	{
// add a string version of the object to the list
		super.addItem(ob.toString());

// add the object itself to the object vector
		objects.addElement(ob);
	}

	public synchronized void addObject(Object ob, int position)
	{
// add a string version of the object to the list
		super.addItem(ob.toString(), position);

// add the object itself to the object vector
		if (position >= objects.size()) {
			objects.addElement(ob);
		} else {
			objects.insertElementAt(ob.toString(),
				position);
		}
	}

	public synchronized void addObject(String label, Object ob)
	{
// Allow the object to be assigned a label independently of the object
		super.addItem(label);
		objects.addElement(ob);
	}

	public synchronized void addObject(String label, Object ob,
		int position)
	{
// Allow the object to be assigned a label independently of the object
		super.addItem(label, position);
		if (position >= objects.size()) {
			objects.addElement(ob);
		} else {
			objects.insertElementAt(ob.toString(),
				position);
		}
	}

	public synchronized void delObject(Object ob)
	{
// See if the object is in the vector
		int index = objects.indexOf(ob);

// If not, just return
		if (index < 0) return;

// Remove the object from the vector
		objects.removeElementAt(index);

// Remove the list entry
		super.delItem(index);
	}

	public synchronized Object getSelectedObject()
	{
// Get the index of the current selection
		int i = getSelectedIndex();

		if (i == -1) return null;

// Return the object currently selected
		return objects.elementAt(i);
	}

	public synchronized Object[] getSelectedObjects()
	{
// Get the indices of all the selected objects
		int[] selectedItems = getSelectedIndexes();

// Create an array of all the selected objects
		Object[] whichObjects = new Object[
			selectedItems.length];

		for (int i=0; i < selectedItems.length; i++) {
			whichObjects[i] = objects.elementAt(i);
		}

		return whichObjects;
	}

	public int indexOf(Object ob)
	{
// Locate a particular object
		return objects.indexOf(ob);
	}

	public Object objectAt(int index)
	{
// Return the object at a particular index
		return objects.elementAt(index);
	}

	public void replaceObject(Object ob, int index)
	{
// Change a specific entry in the vector
		replaceItem(ob.toString(), index);

// Change a specific entry in the list
		objects.setElementAt(ob, index);
	}

	public void replaceObject(String label, Object ob, int index)
	{
// Change a specific entry in the vector
		replaceItem(label, index);

// Change a specific entry in the list
		objects.setElementAt(ob, index);
	}
}

Note
You should use the ObjectList class in place of the List class in many, if not all, situations. It is important to be able to associate objects with the entries in a list, and even more important to keep the content of the list strings down to the bare minimum needed by the user.

Creating a Catalog Applet

The catalog interface should allow a user to browse through the items that are for sale. You should at least provide some sort of description. If you are selling software or online services, it would be even better to offer a small sample. This would also be true for music or video recordings. While Java doesn’t have the ability to display many of these kinds of media yet, that capability is coming. For now, you can take advantage of the wonderful infrastructure of the Web and use simple URLs to describe the product. That way, you can include audio and video clips as you see fit.

Since the catalog and the shopping cart are different applets, they need some way to communicate back and forth. The ShoppingCart class is the perfect mechanism for this. Whenever someone selects an item from the catalog, the catalog applet adds the item to the ShoppingCart class. The shopping cart applet is an observer of the ShoppingCart class and sees the new item immediately.

Tip
If you recall the Model-View-Controller paradigm, which was discussed in Chapter 9 “Creating Reusable Graphics Components,” the ShoppingCart class represents the model of the data. The catalog represents the controller, since it takes user input and translates it into changes in the model. The shopping cart applet is the view of the model, since it displays the items stored in the actual cart. The shopping cart applet also acts as a controller since it also takes input.

When the catalog applet starts up, it looks for the shopping cart applet via the applet registry. When it finds the other applet, it calls getShoppingCart to locate the instanceof the ShoppingCart class that the two applets will share. Listing 29.5 shows the ItemPickerApplet class, which implements the user interface for the catalog portion of the shopping cart system.

Listing 29.5 Source Code for ItemPickerApplet.java

import java.awt.*;
import java.applet.*;
import java.net.*;
import java.util.*;
import java.io.*;

// This class represents the catalog portion of a shopping cart.
// You can select items and then either view a description of
// the item or add the item to the shopping cart.

public class ItemPickerApplet extends Applet implements Observer
{
	ObjectList items;
	ShoppingCart cart;
	AppletRegistry registry;

	public void init()
	{
// Watch the applet registry to see when the Shopping Cart applet
// becomes active
		registry = AppletRegistry.instance();
		registry.addObserver(this);

		items = new ObjectList();

// Get the URL of the list of items that are for sale
		String itemURL = getParameter("itemList");
		if (itemURL != null) fetchItems(itemURL);

// Put the items in the center of the screen 
		setLayout(new BorderLayout());
		add("Center", items);

		checkForShoppingCart();

// Add this applet to the registry
		registry.addApplet("Item Picker", this);
	}

	public void checkForShoppingCart()
	{
// See if the shopping cart has been loaded yet
		Applet applet = registry.findApplet("Shopping Cart");
		if (applet == null) return;

		ShoppingCartApplet cartApplet = (ShoppingCartApplet)
			applet;

// Get the shopping cart used by the shopping cart applet
		cart = cartApplet.getShoppingCart();

// Create the panel for adding items
		Panel southPanel = new Panel();

// Set up some command buttons for adding and describing items
		southPanel.add(new CommandButton("Describe Item",
			new ItemPickerDescribe(this)));
		southPanel.add(new CommandButton("Add Item",
			new ItemPickerAdd(this)));

		add("South", southPanel);
	}

	public void update(Observable obs, Object ob)
	{
		if (cart != null) return;

		checkForShoppingCart();
	}

// When someone presses the "Add Item" button, the doAdd method
// is called.
	public void doAdd()
	{
// Find out what object was selected
		Object ob = items.getSelectedObject();

		if (ob == null) return;

// Add the item to the cart
		cart.addItem(((ShoppingCartItem)ob).copy());
	}

// When someone presses "Describe Item", the doDescribe method
// is called.

	public void doDescribe()
	{

// Find out which object was selected
		Object ob = items.getSelectedObject();

		if (ob == null) return;

		ShoppingCartItem item = (ShoppingCartItem) ob;

// If it has a description URL, open it up in another frame
		if (item.descriptionURL != null) {
			getAppletContext().showDocument(
				item.descriptionURL, "descframe");
		}
	}

// parseItem extracts an item name, cost, and URL from a string. The
// items should be separated by |'s.
	public void parseItem(String str)
	{
		StringTokenizer tokenizer = new StringTokenizer(str, "|");

		if (tokenizer.countTokens() < 3) return;

		String name = tokenizer.nextToken();

		int cost = 0;
		try {
			cost = Integer.parseInt(tokenizer.nextToken());
		} catch (Exception ignore) {
		}

		URL descURL = null;

		try {
			descURL = new URL(tokenizer.nextToken());
		} catch (Exception ignore) {
		}

		items.addObject(name,
			new ShoppingCartItem(name, cost, 1, descURL));

	}

// fetchItems gets a list of available items from the web server and
// uses parseItem to parse the individual items. If a line begins with
// the # character, it is ignored (# is typically a comment character).

	public void fetchItems(String urlName)
	{
		try {
			URL url = new URL(urlName);

			DataInputStream inStream =
				new DataInputStream(
					url.openStream());

			String line;

			while ((line = inStream.readLine()) != null) {
				if (line.charAt(0) == '#') continue;
				parseItem(line);		
			}
		} catch (Exception e) {
		}
	}
}

Notice that the ItemPickerApplet uses the CommandButton class that was also introduced in Chapter 10, “Inter-Applet Communication.” The CommandButton class did not have to be changed at all in order to be used with this application. The only necessary items are a few command classes that provide the glue between the command buttons and the catalog applet. Listing 29.6 shows the ItemPickerDescribe command class. The other command classes are almost identical to the ItemPickerDescribe class.

Listing 29.6 Source Code for ItemPickerDescribe.java

public class ItemPickerDescribe extends Object implements Command
{
	ItemPickerApplet cart;

	public ItemPickerDescribe(ItemPickerApplet cart)
	{
		this.cart = cart;
	}

	public void doCommand()
	{
		cart.doDescribe();
	}
}

Creating the Shopping Cart Applet

Now that most of the hard work has been done, the shopping cart interface itself is
fairly easy. Basically, the shopping cart applet must be an observer of the shopping cart. Whenever the applet receives an update notification telling it that the shopping cart has changed, the applet simply changes its local list of items, which is a scrollable list (actually, it’s an ObjectList). The shopping cart applet is also responsible for sending the order to the Web server. For posting data to the Web server, you can adapt the PostSockURL or URLPost classes from Chapter 6, “Communicating with a Web Server.” Listing 29.7 shows the ShoppingCartApplet class.

Listing 29.7 Source Code for ShoppingCartApplet.java

import java.applet.*;
import java.awt.*;
import java.util.*;
import java.net.*;
import java.io.*;

// This class provides a user interface for the ShoppingCart class

public class ShoppingCartApplet extends Applet
	implements Observer
{
	protected ShoppingCart cart;
	protected ObjectList itemList;
	protected TextField customerName;
	protected TextField totalField;

	public ShoppingCartApplet()
	{
// Make this class an observer of the shopping cart
		cart = new ShoppingCart();
		cart.addObserver(this);

// Create the list of objects in the cart
		itemList = new ObjectList();

// Create the field for the total cost so far
		totalField = new TextField(10);
		totalField.setEditable(false);
		totalField.setText("Total: "+cart.total);

		setLayout(new BorderLayout());

// Create a field for the customer name
		customerName = new TextField(20);

// Combine the label and the name field on a single panel
		Panel namePanel = new Panel();
		namePanel.add(new Label("Customer Name: "));
		namePanel.add(customerName);

// Put the name field up at the top and the item list in the center
		add("North", namePanel);
		add("Center", itemList);

// Create buttons for removing items and placing an order and put
// them along the bottom.

		Panel southPanel = new Panel();
		southPanel.add(new CommandButton(
			"Remove Item",
			new ShoppingCartRemove(this)));
		southPanel.add(new CommandButton(
			"Place Order",
			new ShoppingCartOrder(this)));
		southPanel.add(totalField);

		add("South", southPanel);

// Tell the applet registry about this applet
		AppletRegistry.instance().addApplet("Shopping Cart", this);
	}

	public String makeItemString(ShoppingCartItem item)
	{
		return item.itemName+"   Qty: "+item.quantity+
			"  Cost: "+item.itemCost;
	}

	public void update(Observable whichCart, Object ob)
	{
