Chapter 16, Problem 16.1E

Explanation of Solution

‘provides’ interface:

It is the interface that defines the services that are provided by the component and also defines the methods that can be called by a user of the component.

‘requires’ interface:

It is the interface that defines the services that must be provided by other components in a system if a component operates correctly. If these are unavailable, then the component does not work.

Uses of ‘provides’ and ‘requires’:

  • These interfaces are used in the component because the use of component is completely independent of its implementation.
  • When the interfaces are not used in the component interactions, then the coupling between the components increases and it becomes difficult to interchange one component for an equivalent component with the same interface.
  • A component should be independent so that it becomes easy to compose and deploy without specific components. But if the components are not independent then it requires ‘provides’ services externally and ‘requires’ interface explicitly.

Lab 07: Java Graphics (Bonus lab) In this lab, we'll be practicing what we learned about GUIs, and Mouse events. You will need to implement the following: ➤ A GUI with a drawing panel. We can click in this panel, and you will capture those clicks as a Point (see java.awt.Point) in a PointCollection class (you need to build this). о The points need to be represented by circles. Below the drawing panel, you will need 5 buttons: о An input button to register your mouse to the drawing panel. ○ о о A show button to paint the points in your collection on the drawing panel. A button to shift all the points to the left by 50 pixels. The x position of the points is not allowed to go below zero. Another button to shift all the points to the right 50 pixels. The x position of the points cannot go further than the You can implement this GUI in any way you choose. I suggest using the BorderLayout for a panel containing the buttons, and a GridLayout to hold the drawing panel and button panels.…
If a UDP datagram is sent from host A, port P to host B, port Q, but at host B there is no process listening to port Q, then B is to send back an ICMP Port Unreachable message to A. Like all ICMP messages, this is addressed to A as a whole, not to port P on A. (a)  Give an example of when an application might want to receive such ICMP messages. (b)  Find out what an application has to do, on the operating system of your choice, to receive such messages. (c)  Why might it not be a good idea to send such messages directly back to the originating port P on A?
