Overview

This project use the JAX-RS/Jersey, Java RMI and JAXB frameworks in order to develop a simple Car Hire Booking System. A Web Client page should provide users with the ability to Create/Modify/Update/Delete bookings for a specific vehicle for a given set of dates. The Web Client acts with a RESTful JAX-RS Web Service for bookings which is deployed on Apache Tomcat Server(Version 7). The RESTful Web Service acts as a RMI client to the RMI Database Server which handles persistence.

This project Contains three sub projects.

• RMI-Server : A RMI server to allow remote method inocavtion.
• Web-Service: A RESTfull API that allows CRUD functionality on the RMI database.
• Web-Client : A maven web client that connects to the REST server.
