Point 85 Work Schedule Application
A work schedule application has been built to demonstrate fundamental capabilities of the library. The user interface is implemented in JavaFX 8 and database persistency is provided by JPA 2.2 (Java Persistence API) with FXML descriptors in the shift_orm.xml file. Hibernate is the JPA implementation for a supported relational database. The editor allows new schedules to be created and saved to the database as well as updated and deleted.
