Thread: my java assignment -- please help

I am quite new to java, and now I have a problem -- my teacher wants us to do a java assignment.

Here are the details:
Make a class diagram and an object diagram for creating users or customers or products etc. (just an object example and work on it)

Implement class diagram in Java and include these:
(a)
At least 2 constructors
Get and Set accessor methods (accessor and mutators) for all relevant attributes. You may want to do error checkings in these methods, if necessary

Any methods that you think would be required.
For example, if you wrote a “User” class, then you might need to write a method:
public boolean authenticate(String pwd) { … }

(b)
Create a Java application (with the main() method) that uses the class you created in (a):
Use two different constructors, create at least 2 objects from the class in (a)
Call all the methods that you have created in (a). Use the mutators to change the attributes, and use the accessor to get the attributes.

I not sure how to do, and neither do I know how to use the codes.

Please help. If possible, share with me your codings for my assignment.
I am really left with no choice already.

I doing it on Eclipse JavaEE

So what is the difficulty you have with this? You should realise we won't do your assignment for you, but we can help you when you get stuck.

Post up the code you have so far, and explain where you are stuck. If you get any error messages, post up the full text of the message.

here is a small example in java se, hope you got the idea

public class User {
	private String user;
	private String passwd;
 
	// constructor 1, take user and pw
	public User(String user, String passwd) {
		this.user = user;
		this.passwd = passwd;
	}
 
	// constructor 2, take only user
	public User(String user) {
		this.user = user;
		this.passwd = null;
	}
 
	public void setUser(String user) {
		this.user = user;
	}
 
	public String getUser() {
		return this.user;
	}
 
	public String getPasswd() {
		return this.passwd;
	}
 
	public void setPasswd(String passwd) {
		int minLength = 8;
		if (passwd.length() < minLength) {
			System.out.println("Password must have at least 8 digits");
		} else {
			this.passwd = passwd;
		}
	}
 
	public boolean authenticate(String pwd) {
		if (this.passwd == null) {
			System.out.println("Authentication failed. Password not set.");
			return false;
		} else if (this.passwd.equals(pwd)) {
			System.out.println("Authentication successfull.");
			return true;
		}
		System.out.println("Authentication failed. Invalid password");
		return false;
	}
 
	public static void main(String[] args) {
		// call first constructor
		User user1 = new User("user1", "password1");
		// call seconde constructor
		User user2 = new User("user2");
		// Authentication should fail
		user2.authenticate("hallo");
		// Password too short, not set
		user2.setPasswd("mypass");
		// New password accepted
		user2.setPasswd("password2");
		// Authentication succesfull
		user2.authenticate("password2");
		// Authentication ok for user1
		user1.authenticate("password1");
		user1.setPasswd("newpassword");
		// user1 try with old one, Auth. failed
		user1.authenticate("password1");
		// user1 retry with the right one
		user1.authenticate("newpassword");
	}
}

thanks j2me64 for your help. anyway i have figured out my codings and it is quite different from yours.

Problem !
So now, I am trying to open my project.

I start up eclipse, and there, at the ''select a workspace'' part, i browser to this:
C:\Users\Personal\Desktop\Feedback (this is where my project, named Feedback, is saved). Then I click ok.

However, after I click ok, and eclipse loads itself, under Project Explorer, there is nothing at all. Where has my project Feedback gone to ?

I can't open my project !

Please help.

I think you want to open up a workspace located at C:\Users\Personal\Desktop

That should show your project called Feedback if it has been set up as an eclipse project that is.

// Json

I am stuck at this part.

(part c)
A Java application (with the main() method) that uses the class you created in (part b):
Using two different constructors, create at least 2 objects from the class in (part b)
Call all the methods that you have created in (part b). Use the mutators to change the attributes, and use the accessor to get the attributes.

(look at my starting post for part B requirements.)

How do I do it ? Seriously, I have no idea how. I feel very desperate nowfor answers

here are the codings (two java files)

Feedback.java

public class Feedback {
private String Name;
private String Topic;
private String Description;

public String getName(){
return Name;
}
public String getTopic(){
return Topic;
}
public String getDescription(){
return Description;
}

public void setName (String n){
Name= n;
}
public void setTopic (String T){
Topic= T;
}
public void setDescription (String D){
Description= D;
}
}

TestFeedback.java

public class TestFeedback {
public static void main(String[] args){
Feedback U1 = new Feedback ();
U1.setName("Ah Huat");
U1.setTopic ("Topic : Compliment");
U1.setDescription ("Your company has provided good services, and your website is well built.");

Feedback U2 = new Feedback ();
U2.setName ("Ah Hia");
U2.setTopic ("Topic : Suggestion");
U2.setDescription ("May I suggest that the company change the script of the website, as well as the fonts used for the word ? I find it hard to navigate your website. Thanks a lot");

System.out.println (U1.getName());
System.out.println (U1.getTopic());
System.out.println (U1.getDescription());

System.out.println (U2.getName());
System.out.println (U2.getTopic());
System.out.println (U2.getDescription());

}
}

I am weak in java, so can help me check have I fulfilled Part A, B and Part C or not
Or have I miss out any of the three parts or miss out any requirements

?
