Good day the great developers,

 

I am currently running a job test which I was ask to submit tomorrow, but I
don't have a clear idea of the problem.

Please kindly help out.

 

Here is the question bellow.

 

PRACTICAL JAVA TEST:

I have attached a zip file containing the files

 

1. geoip.jar

2. GeoIPLite.dat

3. CountryLookupTest.java

 

These are written by a company called maxmind and are used to work out what
country a person comes from based on their IP address. The geoip.jar file is
the actual code used to access the database/file which is GeoIPLite. The
CountryLookupTest.java is a sample of how to use the classes

 

I would like you to write a class that can determine the country based on
the IP address using these files. It should have a function
getCountry(String ip) and return the 2 letter country code 

 

1. This class would be used by other classes to determine the country based
on an IP address 2. e.g. from a webserver

 

It must

 

1. Only load the Databasefile once into memory

 

Provide us with 2 classes

1. Your class you use to implement the getCountry Function 

2. A second class that instantiates this class and gets the country for a
few ip addresses 

3. Must be written in java

 

I was provided the three file as an attachments, please how do I go about
the question

 

Your assistance will be highly appreciated.

 

Thanks.

 

 

Akwad.
