A client of mine asked me to create a Class Hierarchy for Automating HTML form generation , Validation , Submission and Processing.
I am unclear what this means.
Would it just be the route of how this process is done ?
If some one could you me a link to a tutorial that could be great.
I think he needs some class diagram where inheritance chain will be shown
A class hierarchy usually means an inheritance hierarchy.
The client most probably meant a "class design" or a "class diagram".
Perheps the client means a set of classes that handles Form generation, Validation, Submission and Processing?
It would be the inheritance chain of your classes (you code in C++ or C#) that you are going to use to create these forms automatically in webpages etc...
He wants you to define a diagram where you will explain how the classes will carry out HTML form generation, validation, submission and processing, by acting together.
This could be done in UML for instance, just do a brief search on Google images to get a quick understanding of what this means; UML Distilled helps me a lot when I have to do such things, you can find chapter samples online.
A class can extends another class. When you have a several inheritance ( extends ) bounds beetween class, you can call that class hiearchie.
