a)Program A: Use the data below to create a set of objects in Java. Write the objects out to an object file using Java’s

ObjectOutputStream file. The object format is

public class Employee{

private String employeeID;

private String employeeName;

private String employeeAddress;

private String projectGroup;

private String department;

}

Data:

b) Program B:Use the file created in Program A to serve as the input file for a program to that will read the objects from the file

and store them in a database using Hibernate.

c) Program C: Create a program that uses JOptionPane.showInputDialog() for input from the keyboard and JOptionPane.showMessageDialog()

for displaying student results. The program should support the ability for the user to add, delete, retrieve/display employee records, and write the

list of employees to a text file using the Hibernate database. Add at least two new employees and delete at least one original employee to show that

your program is working.

d) How would your Program C change if you used the file created by Program A instead of the Hibernate database?

e) Hand in the printouts of your source code and a printout of the file created by program C after testing your programs.
