Books on Loan
You can start from this point usingthe following source files:

The relationship between Patron and Book is: >

We need some more information. Right now, when we check out a book, we don't know when it is due, that seems to be a minimal amount of information. Adding this information to the Patron does not seem to make sense since there's one of these dates per//** Book**//, not per Patron. On the other hand, adding it to book directly means we have a field that will often be blank. There's a more natural way to model this relationship: >

A loan is associated with the//** association**// between Patron and Book. When the association exists, the loan exists, otherwise it does not.

We are going to test our way into this.

Date Support
We're going to be working with dates extensively. Here is a utility class for working with dates and its test: code format="java5" package util;
 * DateTimeUtil.java**

import java.util.Calendar; import java.util.Date; import java.util.GregorianCalendar;

/** * This is a simple class containing date/time utilities to avoid proliferation * of duplicate code through the system. */ public class DateTimeUtil { private static final int MS_IN_HOUR = 1000 * 60 * 60; private static final int MS_IN_Day = 24 * MS_IN_HOUR;

/**    * This is a class with all static methods (often called a utility class). * To document the fact that it should be used without first being * instantiated, we make the constructor private. Furthermore, some code * evaluation tools, such as PMD, will complain about an empty method body, * so we add a comment in the method body to appease such tools. *     */    private DateTimeUtil { // I'm a utility class, do not instantiate me   }

/**    * Create a date with all time values set to 0. *     * @param dayOfMonth *           If this value is outside the valid dates in a month, the *           actual date will be adjusted forward or backwards accordingly *     * @param month *           1-based month, 1 = January *     * @param year *     * @return Date with time cleared. */   public static Date createDateOn(final int dayOfMonth, final int month,            final int year) { Calendar c = Calendar.getInstance; c.set(Calendar.DAY_OF_MONTH, dayOfMonth); c.set(Calendar.MONTH, month - 1); c.set(Calendar.YEAR, year); removeTimeFrom(c); return c.getTime; }

/**    * Remove all of the time elements from a date. */   public static void removeTimeFrom(final Calendar c) { c.clear(Calendar.AM_PM); c.clear(Calendar.HOUR_OF_DAY); c.clear(Calendar.HOUR); c.clear(Calendar.MINUTE); c.clear(Calendar.SECOND); c.clear(Calendar.MILLISECOND); }

/**    * This is a simple algorithm to calculate the number of days between two * dates. It is not very accurate, does not take into consideration leap * years, etc. Do not use this in production code. It serves our purposes * here. *     * @param d1     *            "from date" * @param d2    *            "to date" *     * @return number of times "midnight" is crossed between these two dates, *        logically this is d2 - d1. */   public static int daysBetween(final Date d1, final Date d2) { GregorianCalendar c1 = new GregorianCalendar; c1.setTime(d1); GregorianCalendar c2 = new GregorianCalendar; c2.setTime(d2);

final long t1 = c1.getTimeInMillis; final long t2 = c2.getTimeInMillis; long diff = t2 - t1;

final boolean startInDst = c1.getTimeZone.inDaylightTime(d1); final boolean endInDst = c2.getTimeZone.inDaylightTime(d2);

if (startInDst && !endInDst) { diff -= MS_IN_HOUR; }       if (!startInDst && endInDst) { diff += MS_IN_HOUR; }

return (int) (diff / MS_IN_Day); } } code

Review Existing Tests
We have the following Test classes in the session package:
 * BookDaoTest
 * LibraryTest
 * PatronDaoTest

BookDaoTest and PatronDao test deal with CRUD operations on Book and Patron. They don't really care about the structure of the objects since they just read/write Book and Patron objects. We might need to make changes to the Book and Patron entities to keep these tests passing, but we'll do that as tests fail.

Review Tests in LibraryDaoTest
Here's our first test to review: code format="java5" @Test public void checkoutBook { final Book b = createBook; final Patron p = createPatron; library.checkout(p.getId, b.getId);

final Book foundBook = library.findBookById(b.getId); final Patron foundPatron = library.findPatronById(p.getId);

assertTrue(foundBook.isOnLoanTo(foundPatron)); assertTrue(foundPatron.isBorrowing(foundBook)); } code

This test might work as is, however when we checkout a book, we do not provide a date. We could keep the interface the same and the library could assume the current date. Instead, we'll provide a date and then verify that the book was checked out on the date provided. Since we will be in a state of flux for some time, we'll add a new method and deprecate the old method. By the time we've finished this update, we'll remove all deprecated methods.
