Decided to not use DTO pattern, and created a method that takes all needed fields for creating an Event, including fields for an Appointment and Location. All fields are sent as request parameters, in which they are converted into objects in the event service file. Each object is created and flushed to the database in order to preserve relationships amongst entities.

This is method seems to be working, although not all test cases were checked. Currently, it is being changed by Jonathan to reflect modularization changes.

Looks like I forgot to add the description field to the method parameter list. This will need to be added.
