Team 5: Virtual Casino

Test Number 1

Functionality:

Baseline

Use Case:

• Player(Client) can do the following:
  • Find the "Floor" interface on the naming service
  • Call the "Floor.register" method with his/her username and receive a user number.
  • Call the "Floor.getBank" and "Floor.getTables" methods and receive references to Bank and Tables objects respectively.
  • Use the "Bank" interface to buy chips.
  • Use the Tables interface to join a table.
  • Leave the table.
  • Unregister from the game.
• Server can do the following:
  • Register it's "Floor" inteface with the naming service.
  • Take registration requests from a player, putting the player's name in the database and returning a player ID.
  • Create "Bank" and "Tables" objects and send references to them to the player.
  • Sell chips to player storing information in the database.
  • Assign a player to a table.

Test distribution:

/afs/ece/usr/etwilson/src/casino

Test Sequence:(Two Hosts)

1. Start SQL server on database host.
2. Log in as a member of Team5 to a host in the ECE linux cluster.
3. Change directory to  ~/src/casino.
4. Using bourne/BASH shell type . ./project.env.
5. Start orb with ./startOrbd.sh&.
6. Start server with ./runServer.sh&.
7. Start client on this host with ./runPlayer.sh localhost.
8. When prompted by the player application enter your name and hit return.
9. When prompted to buy chips, enter a number and hit return.
10. Wait for the Player application to finish.

Test Sequence:(Three Hosts)

1. Start SQL server on database host.
2. Log in as a member of Team5 to one host in the ECE linux cluster which we will call "serverhost".
3. Log in as a member of Team5 to a second host in the ECE linux cluster which we will call "playerhost".
4. On "serverhost":
   1. Change directory to ~/src/casino.
   2. Using bourne/BASH shell type . ./project.env.
   3. Start orb with ./startOrbd.sh&.
   4. Start server with ./runServer.sh&.
5. On "playerhost":
   1. Change directory to ~/src/casino.
   2. Using bourne/BASH shell type . ./project.env.
   3. Start client on this host with ./runPlayer.sh localhost.
   4. When prompted by the player application enter your name and hit return.
   5. When prompted to buy chips, enter a number and hit return.
   6. Wait for the Player application to finish.

Configuration/deployment issues:

• Project is not packaged into Server and Player jar files yet so you must run it out of the build tree in the ECE linux cluster.
• You must have the MS-SQL server jar files installed at $HOME/lib

Known problems:

• While join table does mark that a table has been created in the database and assign the player to it, no actual table object is created.
• None of the actual gaming methods have been implemented.
• The methods "leaveTable" and "unregister" do nothing other than print out a message on the commandline.
• Not tested with multiple clients or tables.
• Running two servers may result is not supported.
• There is very little error/duplication checking.
• Running Client or Server without an orb running or with the orb's hostname or port mis-defined will result in uncaught exceptions.
• Player input values are not checked an may result in undesired behavior.
• It has only been run on host in the ECE linux cluster.
