Final Programming Project: Contact Manager

Create the project

Create a project with the name: ContactManager

Create a contact class $($Should be done from previous project$)$

$-$ Inherits from the Person Class $($provided in previous project$)$

The Contact Class must have:

Fields:

lastName

firstName

streetAddress

city

state $(2-$letter abbreviation$)$

zipcode

For the above, aggregate the Address class from the previous project

Add also:

Date of Birth

Email Address

Constructors:

A $"$no arg" constructor

A Constructor that receives all fields listed above

Accessors and Mutators for each field.

A toString$()$ method that prints the following $($note commas and spaces$)$:

$-$ firstName, lastName, streetaddress, city, state, zip, date of birth, email

Note: This overrides that toString$()$ method or the Person class.

Create a static utility class

Add a static class to the project called: "MyUtilities"

Methods in the utility class:

ZipCode Checker $($from previous project$)$

$-$ Receives a string

$-$ Returns true or false based on the string matching a $5-$digit zip code.

Password Checker

Returns true if password $=$ "java", false if not.

Save To File

$-$ receives two string parameters: The content of the file, The path of the file

Note: Management is concerned about security.

Access modifiers should allow anything in the package to access to your methods, but nothing outside the package.

Fields in a class should only be seen within the class.

Create a user interface

Print: "This application allows the user to keep track of contacts."

Print: "Enter your password, or enter X to exit:"

$($The password is "java".$)$

The password will be checked by the Check method you created in the MyUtilities class.

$-$ This should be handled gracefully. It should not abort he program. The only exit allowed will occur when the user gives up and enters an $"$X$"($upper or lowercase$).$

Note: I recommend that your "static main" method should contain as little as possible. When approved, call a "doContacts" method where all other work will be done.

Create a doContact$()$ method:

Print: "You can enter as many contacts as you like."

Begin Loop

Print: "Contact #$"+$ the number of the contact

Print: "Enter last name:"

$($repeat for all fields$)$

When the user enters the zip code, check for correct zip format. Again, this should allow for repeated entries if needed.

All values will be loaded into a contact object.

Print: "You have entered:"

Print: Contact object toString$()$

Print: $"$Do you wish to add another? Enter Y to continue, N to stop."

Repeat until the user enters something other than Y $($upper or lowercase$).$

When done, print the entire list the user has entered.

Save the contacts

Print: "Where do you want to save your contact list?"

Print: "Enter a file path and file name"

Save all entries to a file, using proper exception handling.

$-$ Once again, allow for repeated efforts should an exception be thrown.

Print whatever exit message you like.
