pmcder/claim-notes

Clone of a property-casualty insurance company claim notes system. This notes system would be one component of a claims management system used for auto, home, or workers comp claims.

Overview

This is a clone of an property/casualty insurance company claims management system's claim notes feature. Claims representatives would use this feature to add, edit, and read claim file notes. Claim file notes are the primary way that claims handling activities are documented. Any time an adjuster opens a claim file they type a note. A typical note might summarize a phone call to an insured, a police report, or the conclusion of a liability investigation.

Running the project

You will need to build the database.The sql scripts to do so are in claim_notes_app.db.sql The current database url in the repositories is jdbc:postgresql://localhost/claim_notes_db and the driver is Postgres so you will need to edit that if you are not using Postgres or the path to your db is different.

You can run the project from your ide from display.DisplayMain.java

Running with Maven

App is currently throwing an exception when connecting to the database. See issues. other than that, can be run with maven by cd'ing into project directory and running mvn clean package java -jar target/

Contributing

I built this project as a simple, easy to understand implementation. Please feel free to contribute to it. It is a great beginner Java project. There are several enhancements needed to make all buttons fully functional that should only take a few lines of code.

claim-notes's Issues

Test coverage needed

Postgres driver not loading when running jar

There is an error loading the Postgres driver when running with java -jar.

a better refresh implementation is needed

Currently after a user adds a new note, the whole application is essentially restarting so that the new note will display.
The OK button on the AddNote class calls a static method in DisplayMain.java that disposes the current ClaimNotesFrame (the app's main GUI window) and instantiates a new. A better implementation is needed that doesn't involve disposing and re-instantiating the whole GUI.
