Java Using the Built-in Observer and Observable Classes

In think that in the implementation of the "update" method of the Server, it's missing the "isAvailable" check.

In the implementation solution delivered by Craig in the video, there is the "isAvailable" check missing.

I had implemented something like this in "Server.java":

@Override
public void update(Observable observable, Object arg) {
    Table table = (Table) observable;

    if (isAvailable) {
        if (table.getStatus().equals(Status.AVAILABLE)) {
            leadToTable(table);
        } else if (table.getStatus().equals(Status.FINISHED)) {
            closeOutTable(table);
        }
    }
}
