You are
not obliged to use these, however they should simplify the
process of achieving working solutions. A few notes on the
layout and support files follow:
The class MessageInfo (in the common folder) provides a
container for the data to be sent and also has a constructor
that extracts the data from a string representation. Outline
code for each of the client/server pairs can be found in the rmi
and udp folders.
The file "policy" is a simple configuration file required for
the RMI code. More constrained policies are possible, but this
should provide the lowest barrier to testing.
The Makefile allows Linux users to use make to compile the
various parts of the exercise. It can also be used to help
configure your preferred development environment with the
correct commands, flags and parameters.
Windows users can use the build.bat script to compile the
exercise in the same way. The other shell scripts (rmiclient
(.bat or .csh) etc) allow users to execute the various parts of
the exercise.
