A simple client and server program using sockets.
Follow these instructions to build and run the program.
- Use Java 17
- Build the program:
./gradlew install
- Run it:
build/install/sockets/bin/sockets
- Write a message
- Write a message in the terminal.
- You should see that message logged by the servers!
- It will look something like this:
General clean ups, TODOs and things I wish to implement for this project:
- DONE Create an intermediate process listener, or "forwarder", between the client and LoggingServer that drops vowels
- Periodically fail on the server side. (I'm not sure how to do this; but I want to simulate failure and retries)
- DONE First, implement a proper class to abstract the client. This class will later be extended with retry logic.
- Can the base abstract server use bytes instead of a buffered reader to be more generic?
- DONE Send data from the server back to the client
