This project aims to design and implement a prototype of an Access Control System (ACS) as part of the software design course. The ACS manages physical security by controlling who has access to an area at any given time of any building map.
- Locked and Unlocked States: Introduced the basic door states of Locked and Unlocked, allowing doors to be locked or unlocked by any system user. The user also can lock/unlock doors by pressing the name of a room and click request, also can do the same with the entire building pressing building
- Unlock shortly and Propped State: Introduced some more complex states using Behavioural Patterns like Observer, visitor, State and others. This state unlcoks a locked door by 10 seconds, if it's still open then the door gets the propped state.
- Door States Diagram: Implemented a UML state diagram to represent the transitions between door states.
- User Interface Simulator: Developed a simulator in the form of a web page to test the ACU server and later the mobile app.
- Comments and Naming: Ensured the code is well-documented with meaningful comments and sensible naming conventions.
- Checkstyle Compliance: Adopted a coding style enforced by Checkstyle, except for Javadoc rules.
- Logging: Converted print statements into proper logging messages at various levels (DEBUG, INFO, WARNING).
- Singleton Design Pattern: Applied the Singleton design pattern to classes that should only have one instance during execution.
- Refactoring: Moved traversal methods out of partition and space classes to make the design more extensible.
- IntelliJ IDEA: The chosen IDE for the project development.
- PlantUML: Used for creating UML class and state diagrams.
- Checkstyle-IDEA: A plugin to help adopt a coding style.
- SLF4J and Logback: Libraries used for logging.
- Clone the repository to your local machine.
- Open the project with your Java IDE
- Execute
src/basenostates/usergroups/Main.java. Ensure the run configuration is set with enabled assertions (-eaflag). - Launch the src/simulator/building.html file in any browser to start using the ACS server side
