Description
Overview: Cardholders – Part 3 is the third of
a three-part software project to process the
monthly purchases made by Sapphire,
Diamond, and Blue Diamond cardholders.
The completed class hierarchy is shown in the
UML class diagram at right. Part 3 of the
project focuses on handling exceptions that are
thrown as a result of erroneous input from the
command line or the data file. The main
method in the CardholdersPart3App class,
which reads in the file name from the
command line, will need handle a
FileNotFoundException that may result from
Project: Cardholders – Part 3 Page 2 of 7
attempting to open the file (e.g., if the file does not exist). Also, the readCardholderFile method in
CardholderProcessor will need to handle exceptions that occur while processing the data file, including a
new exception called InvalidCategoryException.

CurrentBalanceComparator
Requirements and Design: There are no changes to these classes from Part 2.
CardholderProcessor.java
Requirements: The CardholderProcessor class provides methods for reading in the data file and
generating the monthly report. The readCardholderFile method should redesigned to handle
exceptions in the data. A “good” line of data results in a new element added the Cardholder array, and
“bad” line of data results in the line + exception message being added the to the invalid records array.
A new report method produces the Invalid Records Report.
Design: The readCardholderFile method from Part 2 should be redesigned to handle exceptions.
CardholderProcessor class has fields, a constructor, and methods as outlined below.
• Fields: no change from Part 2.
• Constructor: no change from Part 2.
• Methods: The readCardholderFile needs to be reworked and the generateInvalidRecordsReport
method needs to be added. See Part 2 for the full description of other methods in this class.
o readCardholderFile has no return value, accepts the data file name as a String, and
throws FileNotFoundException. If a FileNotFoundException occurs when attempting to open
the data file, it should be ignored in this method so that it can be handled in the calling method
(i.e., main). If a line from the file is processed successfully, a Cardholder object of the
appropriate category (subclass) is added to the Cardholder array field. However, when an
exception occurs as a result from erroneous data in a line read from the file, it should be
caught and handled as follows. The exception message should be concatenated to the line and
then the resulting String should be added to the invalid records array field in the class. The
two exceptions that should be caught in this method are the InvalidCategoryException
(described below) and the NumberFormatException. Note that the InvalidCategoryException
must be explicitly thrown by your code if the category is not 1, 2, or 3; whereas, the
NumberFormatException will be thrown automatically if the item scanned in the line from the
file is not a double when Double.parseDouble expects it to be a double.
o generateInvalidRecordsReport processes the invalid records array to produce the
Invalid Records Report and then returns the report as String. See the example result near the
end of the output for CardholdersPart3App that begins on page 4 and ends on page 6.
Code and Test: See examples of exception handling in the text and the class notes. Download
cardholder_data_3_exceptions.txt from the assignment page in Canvas to test your
program. Your JUnit test methods should force the exceptions described above to thrown and caught.
Project: Cardholders – Part 3 Page 3 of 7
Since the readCardholderFile method will propagate the FileNotFoundException if the file is not found
when the Scanner is created to read the file, your test method could catch this exception to check that it
was thrown.
InvalidCategoryException.java
Requirements and Design: The InvalidCategoryException class defines a new subclass of the
Exception class. The constructor invokes the super constructor with the message: “*** invalid
category ***”. See examples of creating user defined in from text and class notes.
CardholdersPart3App.java
Requirements: The CardholdersPart3App class contains the main method for running the program. In
addition to the specifications in Part 2, the main method should be modified as indicated below.
Design: The CardholdersPart3App class is the driver class and has a main method described below.
o main accepts a file name as a command line argument, then within a try block, creates a
CardholderProcessor object, and then invokes its methods to read the file and process the
reward records and then to generate and print the four reports as shown in the example output
beginning on page 4. If no command line argument is provided, the program should indicate
this and end as shown in the first example output on page 4. If an FileNotFoundException is
thrown in the readCardholderFile method in the CardholderProcessor class, it should be caught
in the catch block of the try statement. The catch block should print a message (“***
Attempted to read file: ” along with the exception’s message). For example, if the user entered
“nofile.txt” as the command line argument and this file does not exit, then the Run I/O in
jGRASP would look like the following (this is also repeated in the example output beginning
on page 4). Note that since the main method is catching FileNotFoundException, it no longer
needs the throws clause in its declaration.
MM«M —-jGRASP exec: java CardholdersPart3App nofile.txt
MM§M *** Attempted to read file: nofile.txt (No such file or directory)
MM§M
MM©M —-jGRASP: operation complete.
Code and Test: See examples of exception handling in the text and the class notes. Download
cardholder_data_3_exceptions.txt from the assignment page in Canvas to test your
program. One of your JUnit test methods should call your main method with an argument this is not a
valid file name to ensure that your catch block is covered. See “Code and Test” for
CardholdersPart2App in Part 2 to see how to invoke your main method.

Three separate runs are shown below: (1) one with no command line argument, (2) one with an invalid
file name as command line argument, and (3) one with valid file name as command line argument.

Notes
1. This project assumes that you are reading each double value as a String using next() and then parsing
it into a double with Double.parseDouble(…) as shown in the following example.
. . . Double.parseDouble(myInput.next());
This form of input will throw a java.lang.NumberFormatException if the value is not a double.
If you are reading in each double value as a double using nextDouble(), for example
. . . myInput.nextDouble();
then a java.util.InputMismatchException will be thrown if the value read in is not a double.
For this assignment, you should change your input to use Double.parseDouble(…) rather than
nextDouble(), since Web-CAT is looking for NumberFormatException rather than
java.util.InputMismatchException.
2. If you are using the JUnit Assert.assertArrayEquals method to check two Cardholder arrays for
equality, then the equals and hashCode methods must be implemented in your Cardholder class;
that is, Assert.assertArrayEquals calls equals(Object obj) on each object in the array, so Cardholder
must have an equals method that overrides the one inherited from the Object class. If Cardholder
does not override equals(Object obj), then the JUnit Assert.assertArrayEquals method will use the
inherited equals(Object obj) method which means two Cardholder arrays will be equal only if they are
aliases.
Below is a simplified equals method and hashCode method you are free to use.
public boolean equals(Object obj) {
if (!(obj instanceof Cardholder)) {
return false;
}
else {
Cardholder c = (Cardholder) obj;
return (name.equalsIgnoreCase(c.getName()));
}
}
public int hashCode() {
return 0;
}
