Introduction

We want to build a small employee management application, called AppEmpManagement. At the end of this tutorial, the student shall be able to:

• list all employees and
• view employee details.

Therefore, the GUI shows all employees in a list (Figure 1 left). The user can press the “add” button to see values of a new employee or press the “edit” button to see the values of a selected employee. Both actions will open a new dialog window (Figure 1 right) with an input form.

Project Structure

The project is structured according to the MVC architecture style. Here we work with *.java classes for the model and the controllers. The view elements reuse the OpenLaszlo technology and therefore are realized in XML files called *.lzx.

Model

• DataEmployeeList.java

• DataEmployeeItem.java

View

• AppEmpManagement.lzx

• DlgEmpItem.lzx

Controller

• ReportEmpList.java

• FormEmpItem.java
