Calculation screen, which will then show every one of the points of interest of
the vehicles sold in that period.The capacity to compose the points of interest to a
HTML record to be printed off was likewise executed.
Receipt Vehicle Scheduled: after a vehicle has been booked and its points of
interest are to be altered, a Work Performed and Pricing tab are included where
insights about work did and costs can be entered. A receipt would then be able to be
composed to a HTML which can be printed off.
Login Access: each time the product is run, a login box seems first where the
client is required to enter the username and secret word. In the event that right, the
primary menu screen shows up. The secret word can likewise be changed at the
Administration screen of the framework (Bačíková and Porubän, 2014).
View Sales Performance of Vehicles: this element is accessible by heading off to
the Vehicle Sales Performance screen where all measurements on vehicles sold are
shown. A combo box was incorporated on the screen to enable the client to change
the view from vehicle make to body style.

incorporated into the Image tab so when clicked by the client, a little window shows
up where they can choose the picture document to include alongside the points of
interest of the vehicle. This picture is then shown in the Image tab. Customize
Company Details: at the Administration screen, content fields were incorporated
that are filled in with the organization's present subtle elements.
Before undertaking the instructions here below. You must install glassfish server
on your computer as follows together with java runtime as well.
This will be done on ubuntu 16.04

If Java is not installed on the systems, you should see the lines below notifying
you that Java is not installed, but then suggesting Java packages and how to install
them. Now all you have to do is select the package from the list you want and run
the apt-get command. java --version
This will show up the package required to be installed and that will be default-
jre thus open terminal and run:
sudo apt-get install default-jre
Accept the list of required packages that will also be installed by typing y for
Yes. Doing that will install Open Java JDK/JRE on Ubuntu.
Now when you run the command java --version to check whether Java is
installed correctly (Gaikwad, Kadri, Khandagle & Tava, 2017).
Upnext, we should install the glassfish server to host the system, this will be
done following the steps below:
After Java is introduced accurately, we'll currently walk towards introducing
Glassfish 4.1 which is the most recent form till date. We can even download the
more established variants from the GlassFish official download page
https://glassfish.java.net/download.html.

Next, we will unfasten the glass-angle document into our/select registry. By
unfasten glassfish-4.1.zip - d/pick
Presently, we'll need to setup PATH variable for GlassFish so the GlassFish
executable documents will be available straightforwardly from any catalog. To do
that, we'll alter ~/.profile document and add the PATH to the registry where
GlassFish is separated.
# nano ~/.profile

BCC CARS 10
send out PATH=/opt/glassfish4/bin:$PATH
# source ~/.profile.
At last, in the wake of introducing Oracle Java 8 and GlassFish 4.1 in our Ubuntu
15.04 machine. We'll need to begin the GlassFish server. To do as such, we'll run
asadmin as takes after.
# asadmin start-domain
Sitting tight for domain1 to begin ............
Effectively began the area : domain1
area Location:/pick/glassfish4/glassfish/areas/domain1
Log File:/opt/glassfish4/glassfish/areas/domain1/logs/server.log
Administrator Port: 4848
Command start-domain executed effectively
Initially the program needs to be compiled. After you have copied the files to a
directory, run the command:
$ jar cvf bccars.war .
Alternatively, you can use the .war file included.
Then deploy the application to Glassfish using the command:
$ asadmin deploy bccars.war
Or using your web browser visit http://localhost:4848/ (default
username/password is most likely admin/admin) and upload your application to the
web interface.
