Midterm test

Objective

Create a hotel booking service which has basic functions:

Searching for hotels: customers can search hotels based on date, number of nights and number of rooms.
Reserving a hotel: customers can reserve a hotel by providing hotel ID.

Using Axis2 or Eclipse WTP to create services.
Test the library functions with Web Service Explorer in Eclipse or client Java classes.

Let:
- A: a hotel reservation service (REST service) that handles the hotel searching and reservation requests.
- B: a hotel filtering service (SOAP service) that checks hotel availability based on arrival date, number of nights and number of rooms (see the figure below)
- Each hotel has information about date and available rooms.
A customer (client) send a request to service A to check hotels that are available. When service A receives the client request, it will call service B to filter only services that are matched to client request.
- Input: rental date, number of nights, number of rooms ; Output: list of available hotels (hotel ID and related information) that matched the user's request or “hotel not found.”
Based on the list of available hotels, the client can make a reservation by providing a hotel ID. After receiving a hotel ID, service A will request service B to update the reservation information. If the reservation is successful, service B will return to A a value “true”. Otherwise (for example, the ID is not corresponding to an available hotel) it returns a value “false”.
If A receives a “true”, it will return the client a message: “Reservation successful”. Otherwise, it will returns a message: “Reservation error or the hotel”+ID+“ is not available”.
If the client make another search, the service B should return the results with the updated information about the previous reservation.
