Setup and Installation

1. Java and JavaFX Setup

• Ensure Java 9.0.0 is installed
• Download JavaFX SDK compatible with Java 9
• Set up environment variables for Java and JavaFX

2. Database Configuration

1. Install MySQL/PostgreSQL
2. Create database:

   CREATE DATABASE weathersystem;
   CREATE USER 'weatherapp'@'localhost' IDENTIFIED BY 'your_password';
   GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES ON weathersystem.* TO 'weatherapp'@'localhost';

3. Project Dependencies

• JavaFX SDK
• JDBC Driver
• Apache POI (for PDF/Excel exports)
• Logging framework

4. Build and Run

Using Maven

# Clean the project
mvn clean

# Compile the project
mvn compile

# Run the application
mvn javafx:run

Using Gradle

# Clean the project
gradle clean

# Compile the project
gradle build

# Run the application
gradle run

Configuration

Create a database.properties file:

db.url=jdbc:mysql://localhost:3306/weathersystem
db.user=weatherapp
db.password=your_password

Database Schema

CREATE TABLE weather_data (
    id SERIAL PRIMARY KEY,
    location VARCHAR(100),
    temperature DECIMAL(5,2),
    humidity INTEGER,
    wind_speed DECIMAL(5,2),
    wind_direction VARCHAR(20),
    recorded_at TIMESTAMP DEFAULT CURRENT_TIMESTAMP
);

API and Service Layers

Data Services

• WeatherDataService: Fetch and store weather data
• ReportGenerationService: Create reports
• ForecastService: Retrieve weather predictions

Controller Responsibilities

• MainViewController: Primary application interface
• ReportController: Handle report generation
• DatabaseController: Manage database connections

Testing

Unit Testing

# Run unit tests
mvn test
# or
gradle test

Test Coverage

• JUnit 5
• Mockito for mocking
• Test database setup and teardown

Logging

Utilize Java's built-in logging or SLF4J for comprehensive application logging.

Security Considerations

• Secure database connections
• Implement connection pooling
• Use prepared statements to prevent SQL injection

Deployment

Packaging

# Create executable JAR
mvn package

# Generate native executable
jlink --module-path /path/to/javafx-sdk/lib --add-modules javafx.controls,javafx.fxml --output dist
