Help - end of semester prioject. Linking multiple addresses to a client with 2 lists.

[jonytek]

Hi Guys,
Im working on my end of semester project and i haveing trouble in a certain area. The project is to create a system that records waste and creates an invoice linking it to a client at an address. i have two csv files one address and one client. 1 client can have many addresses, I need to link these. Atm I have created an ArrayList that contains String[] that have split up the customer addresses using the StringTokenizer. Each address has a client id that i need to use to link to the addresses to the clients.

Does anyone have any pointers for doing this? Really appreciated.

You could have a Client class that has an ID, Name and a List of Addresses.

[jonytek]

Ok. Can you give me a bit more info. Do you mean create a new Client object for each client? My lecturer has recommended me that I dont create multiple objects for the customers or clients but do it all within 1 class.

Ive been racking my brain over this one. i just cant figure it out.

I don't understand your assignment. You say you have a Client file and an Address file. Yet the Client file has an address as well.

As far as your instructions of "do it all in one class", it is stoopid! Java is an OO language and to forgo the very nature of the language just does not make sense.
