Client- server -client

Hi...
for training i created a simple server (with multithreading) and a simple client. I tried also to send strings from client to server and vice versa. Now...how can i create a connection between two clients using the server? For example, how can a client (connected to the server) send messagges to another client (connected to the same server)?

Errr, well,
I'm no pro at this, I just started my own client -> server like program a while ago. So I'll give you my code and a quick overview here. And while your all at it, tell me why the program won't run from the "run.bat" file. It works on my computer, not others. I'll leave the server on for those who want to try it.
FOLLOW THE DARN INSTRUCTIONS (theres only 6 short ones)
http://www.freewebs.com/ringdelapong/index.html
Pay no attention to the name, "Black Path". I intend on making this a game, thus the name...
Overview:
--------- Server
1) Have a server (not include) with a thread that accepts any client
sockets.
2) Each time the server accepts a socket, start a thread to read input and send output to.
--------- Client
1) Find the server based on some IP address.
2) Setup a input, output thread
That easy. Client code is in the jar file of that program. If you look at the clientMessage class, you'll note that a special code was used to talk between server and client. The server and clients only understand this code format.
Yo welcome.

Need Help for client - server - client question [Sockets]

Hi
I have read the http://java.sun.com/docs/books/tutorial/networking/sockets/index.html tutorial and made this Knock Knock Application.
But now, I want that one client can view all the other clients which are connected to the server, and interract with a selected cleint over the server (client - server - client).
But I have no idea how to build such a registration concept?
A concrete hint (or link) how to realise this would be very helpful. I searched all the internet for examples, but I dont found a simple example.
Thanks in advance

wSam,
It appears that Sun considers RMI to be simpler, although less efficient than the alternative:
http://java.sun.com/developer/technicalArticles/ALT/sockets/
This article also talks about object serialization, which I am a fan of. Suppose that you want to send a data structure containing lots of information (like all connected users). You can actually pass an object (rather than text) across the network using ObjectOutputStream and receive it on the other end with ObjectInputStream. You might create your own Command class for passing objects between the client and server instead of using RMI. The Command class might hold flags that indicate which method should take place on the remote machine (i.e. send chess move command).

Video Conferencing: Client - Server - Client(s)

I need a solution or idea for :
A Client who has webcam stream his/her webcam, not to indvidual clients using multicast tech. it only sends stream to server. and the Users who want to see his/her webcam fetch the webcam from the server.
In this technique as only one webcam is streamed to server so it do not send, the same copies on different I.P's
Is darwin solution for it?

Hi Lauri,
First of all, thanks for your information and your e-mail.
This is what i have tried at the beginning of this week. To see if text "automatic" was still in my forms i converted my forms from FMB to FMT format and did a search and replace on "automatic". For every text "automatic" found i have changed it to some kind of default color and then converted the forms back to FMB and then i have tried them to run again. The forms still crash. The strange thing is that they run correct within the FORM builder as stand-alone forms (open form in forms builder and then hit the traffic light to run the form). When i run them within the main form (start-form with menu's to call my forms) things start to go wrong. What is the difference? Is there something i forget? Can you tell me if there is someone out there who was able to get a stable environment at all?
Our plan to run the forms in a C/S environment using Citrix seems to be over when it is not possible to get it stable. We have to use the WEBFORMS environment instead and this means we have to invest in the Forms Server. Or are there other alternatives?

Audio streaming in client - server - client model

Hi we are developing an application which contains audio chat. all Clients are connected to the server using a plain socket. The message is done through server. No client is in public ip(i.e. no two clients will connect each other directly they have to go through the server only).
We are incorporating audio chat in this scenario using JMF. But the problem is no client is in public ip. We are able to send the audio stream to the server by using JMF but how to send this stream to the other clients using a socket.
Please suggest some solution to this problem.
Thanks in advance.

JMF in Client-Server-Client Environment

I am working on VoiceChat Application which is developed in Java2 and using JMF 2.1.1 for Audio Streaming. Basically a SignedApplet is sent to Client after he gets authencated(username and password)Along with applet i am send all the jar that are required for the application to run(archive=App.jar, JMF.jar). These jar are signed with a Self-Certified key using keytool which comes with java-sdk. Here when i am trying to capture or play audio on the client machine its giving NoProcessor Exception. Is it necessary to install JMF in client system also.
I require some solution for run the (JMF)processor or player on the client side without installing JMF on the client machine. Is it possible to run processor and player on the client side only by sending the required (JMF.jar) class files as archive for the applet.
Please help me.

Java Chat, server/client*x

Hey,
I'm trying to make a chat and I've made the server and client, and the server can accept several clients.

}I want to make it graphical too, but I want to make it work like it should, before i tackle trying Swing out. This code isn't completely complete yet, as you can see. It doesn't handle the clients messages correctly yet.
What I want to know is how i should send a message from a client to all the other Sockets on the server.

It compiles, but it gives an error when the client connects.

\\SERVER\Clients\Setup\setup.exe with Windows Vista Error

I added the first Vista client to an SBS 2003, SP1 domain. Until now, all clients were WinXP, SP2. Office 2003 is installed on the XP clients, and the Vista client, which may not be pertinent to this problem.
As is normal, "\\SERVER\Clients\Setup\setup.exe /s SERVER" is executed when a user logs on to any domain client. On the Vista client, I always get the dialog -- regardless of the account privilege -- asking for permission to run Setup.exe. It is annoying. Occasionally, the Program Compatiblity Assistant will appear and advise there's a known compatiblity issue with Setup.exe. It points to KB article 926505 for resolution. The title of the KB is, "Windows Small Business Server 2003: Windows Vista and Outlook 2007 compatibility update."
When I run the SBS2003SP1-KB926505-X86-ENU.EXE fix, I get the error: "This update cannot be installed. Either it is already installed as part of an existing service pack, or it requires a more recent service pack. For more information, see the systems requirements on the download page."
I installed Windows Server 2003 SP2 and run the KB926505 fix, but I get the same error "This update cannot be installed. Either it is already installed as part of an existing service pack" After a reboot of te SBS server the same problem on the Vista client, I always get the dialog -- regardless of the account privilege -- asking for permission to run Setup.exe. It is annoying. Occasionally, the Program Compatiblity Assistant will appear and advise there's a known compatiblity issue with Setup.exe. It points to KB article 926505 for resolution.
The problem is Windows Vista Business, because all windows XP clients have no problem at all.

PNP,
You do not say whether if you accept the permission dialog whether the setup continues or not, but the short answer to the question revolves around UAC.
Remember that EVERY user (except the actual Administrator account) has only Standard user rights regardless of group. When a task that requires Admin rights is executed, one of three things will happen: 1) If you are THE Administrator, then your task will continue. 2) If you have Admin rights, you will be prompted that a process is trying to use elevated rights and ask for permission, or 3) If you are a Standard user, you will either be denied flatly or prompted to supply credentials. Which of these happen depend on GPO settings, but the default is to prompt.
In any event, I believe that this is what you are running into, and is one of the big feature improvements in Vista. Yes, it can be a bit annoying (Try deleting an "All Users" icon from the Start Menu!) but is there to place one more barrier between virus and malware writers and your OS.
If it's TOO annoying to bear, you can turn off UAC by going into your profile and disabling it. (It requires Admin rights, of course. ) It is not recommended as you do a very effective job or nutering the Vista Security Model by doing so.
If it, of course, your choice. we IT Admins have a lot more issues with this than the standard user, but for me, I gladly take the tradeoff because I worry a lot less about those few I HAVE to give Admin rights to.
Good luck!

Client/Server to Web-Based application Conversion

Hi! Everyone,
I have couple of questions for you guys.
Our Client had recently upgraded Forms 4.5 to 6i to move from Client/Server based application to Web based application.
They are using Forms Server 6i Patch Set 1, OAS 4.0.8.1, Windows NT Service Pack 5 and Oracle 7.3. They are facing the following error every now and then, when they run the forms,
"FRM-92100: Your connection to the server was interrupted. This may be the result of a network error or a failure on the server.You will need to re-establish your session."
Please let me know what might be causing the above error. The only problem i can think about might be Oracle 7.3. If i am right only Oracle 8 and above supports Forms 6i.
Can anyone let me know some tips and/or techniques to upgrade Forms 4.5 to 6i. If there are any important settings/steps which we might have over looked during the upgrade, please list them.
Any kind of help is greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Jeevan Kallem

Client/server program validation - is it possible?

I've been mulling over this problem for a few days, and am starting to wonder if it's theoretically possible to find a solution. I'm not looking for specific code, this probably won't even be implemented in Java, I'm just wondering if there is a theoretical program model that would work in this situation.
The short version:
Validate the data generated by a client program, without knowing the original data.
The long version:
This is a "profiling" system for a MMOG (Massively Multiplayer Online Game). The MMOG is an internet based client/server graphical program where each client connects to the server and they interact with each other and the virtual world. They pay a monthly fee for access to the game. My program is not affiliated with the MMOG or its makers. I have no connections inside the company and cannot expect any cooperation from them.
The "profiling" system is also a client/server model. The client program runs in the background while the MMOG client is active. It accesses the memory of the MMOG client to retrieve information about the player's character. Then, possibly on request or maybe immediately, it sends the character data to our server.
What I want to validate is that the character data being sent is unmodified and actually comes from the MMOG program.
I can reasonably expect that with mild encryption and some sort of checksum or digest, the vast majority of problems can be avoided. However, I am not sure it's possible to completely secure the system.
I assume that the user has access to and knowledge of the profiler client and the MMOG client, their assembly code, and the ability to modify them or create new programs, leveraging that knowledge. I also assume that the user does not have access to or knowledge of either of the server applications - the MMOG server or mine.
In a worst-case scenario, there are several ways they could circumvent any security I have yet been able to think of. For instance, they could set up a fake MMOG client that had the data they wanted in memory, and let the profiler access that instead of the real thing. Or, they could rewrite the profiler to use the data they wanted and still encrypt it using whatever format I had specified.
I have been considering using some kind of buffer overflow vulnerability or remote execution technique that would allow me to run specific parts of the client program on command, or get information by request, something that could not be anticipated prior to execution and thus could not be faked. But this seems not only insecure for the client but also not quite solid enough, depending on how it was implemented.
Perhaps a series of apparently random validation codes, where the client does not know which one actually is doing the validation, so it must honor them all. Again, this is very conceptual and I'm sure that I'm not explaining them very well. I'm open to ideas.
If I don't come up with anything better, I would consider relying on human error and the fact that the user will not know, at first, the relevance of some of the data being passed between client and server. In this case, I would include some kind of "security handshake" that looks like garbage to the client but actually is validated on the server end. A modified program or data file would result in an invalid handshake, alerting the server (and me) that this client was a potential problem. The client would have no idea anything had gone wrong, because they would not know what data the server was expecting to receive.
I hope I have not confused anyone too much. I know I've confused myself....

Yes, that is the general model for all MMOGs these days - no data that can actually affect the game is safe if loaded from the client's computer. All character and world data is sent from server to client and stored in memory. Any information that is saved to the client's computer is for reference only and not used by the game engine to determine the results of actions/events etc.
My program accesses the MMOG client's memory while the game is running, and takes the character information from there. It does not have direct access to the MMOG server, and does not attempt to modify the data or the memory. Instead, it just encrypts it and sends it to our server, where the information is loaded into a database.
The security issue comes into play because our database is used for ranking purposes, and if someone were to hack my program, they could send invalid data to our servers and affect the rankings unfairly.
I'm just trying to think of a way to prevent that from happening.

SENDING EMAIL USING ORACLE9i CLIENT/SERVER

THE NAMES ARE DEFINED BY THE PROGRAMMER.
THE NAMES OF THE FIELDS ARE NOT RESERVED WORDS.
WHEN THE CODE IS EXECUTED, MICROSOFT OUTLOOK IS OPENED AND THE RECIPIENT LINE, COURTESY COPY LINE, SUBJECT LINE
AND BODY OF A NEW MESSAGE ARE PREPOPUTATED WITH THESE FIELDS FROM AN ORACLE FORM.
THIS ROUTINE WORKS FINE ON AN ORACLE6i CLIENT SERVER BUT IT WILL NOT WORK WELL ON AN ORACLE9i CLIENT SERVER.
WHAT DO I NEED TO DO TO CHANGE MY CODE? DO I NEED TO USE NEW UTILITY LIBRARIES? I WOULD SURE LIKE TO KNOW WHAT TO DO.

Oracle9i Forms does not support client server - so you are running in a different environment (even though you may still only be onl two tiers).

VPN Site-to-Site or VPN Client Server with Cisco IP Phone 8941 and 8945

Hi everyone,
I decide to deploy a CUCM (BE6K platform), SX20, and IP Phone 8941/8945 on Head Office and Cisco SX10 and IP Phone 8941/8945 for branch offices (actually 9 branch offices).
The connection will use internet connection for HO and each branch offices.
And the IT guy want to use kind a VPN client server or VPN site-to-site for the connection through internet,
what kind of VPN client server or VPN site-to-site that recommended for this deployment?
and what type of Cisco router that support that kind of VPN (the cheapest one will be great)?
So the SX10 and IP Phone 8941/8945 in branch offices can work properly through internet connection?
please advise

Hi Leo,
technically, the ipsec users will not use up any premium license seats, so if you have 10 ipsec users connecting first, the premium seats are still free and so you can then still have 10 phones/anyconnect users connect.
However, the 250 you mention is the global platform limit, so it refers to the sum of premium and non-premium connections. Or in other words, you can have 240 ipsec users and 10 phones, but not 250 ipsec users and 10 phones.
If 250 ipsec users and 10 phones would try to connect, it would be first-in, first-served, e.g. you could have 248 ipsec users and 2 phones connected.
Note: since you have Essentials disabled I'm assuming you are referring to the legacy "Cisco vpnclient" (IKEv1 client) which does not require any license on the ASA. But for the benefit of others reading this thread: if you do have Anyconnect clients (using SSL or IPsec/IKEv2) for which you currently have an Essentials license, then note that the Essentials and Premium license cannot co-exist. So for e.g. 240 Anyconnect users and no phones, you can use Essentials. For 240 Anyconnect users and 10 phones, you need a 250-seat Premium license (and a vpn phone license).

Hi Jason
I was getting the same behavior after Apple support had me delete some plist files to get Airplay going. I was also getting the following error:
the error occurred while processing a command of type 'writesettings' in the plug-in 'server vpn'
I went into ~/Library/Preferences/ and /Library/Preferences/ and deleted every plist contating the word server. I had to re-set up my server (meaning walk through some intial steps) but all of my settings were still there after that and everything started working again.
Just a thought, obviously try at your own risk but it worked for me.

How to delete the workbench client server name in FDM

Hi Gurus
How to delete/change the workbench client server name in FDQM?
regards
Sarilla

OK, I understand now. You are referring to the Load Balance Server Group. Yes, this can be done:
a) Browse to Oracle\Middleware\EPMSystem11R1\Products\FinancialDataQuality\SharedComponents\Config
b) Locate the LoadBalanceServerGroups.xml file
You can delete this file. The next time the workbench is launched it will ask you to set the load balance server group again and will create this file again.

Which keys are used in Client/Server Authentication?

Hi.
I am trying to understand how SunX509 algorithm works in a TLS context. When Server or Client authentication is done, which keys of the keystore are used?
I mean, when you set up your KeyStore instance, it is loaded a whole KeyStore from the filesystem, which has a lot of keys to be used. Are they all tried in order to find the key that authenticates the Client/Server, and when a key that works is found means that Client/Server is authenticated? Or a concrete key with a specific alias is used?
Do you know a doc or something similar where i can see this explanation? I haven't found this matter in JSSE API User's Guide nor in JSSE Javadocs.
Thanks!

The alias that is chosen is arbitrary and depends upon the order in which the aliases are returned via a hashtable enumeration. If you want to make sure you're using a particular aliasn you must write your own key manager, take a look at the X509KeyManager interface with methods such chooseClientAlias(), chooseServerAlias(), ...

Looking for a client/server that supports multiple protocol and delivery

Hi all, I don't know if this the right place to ask my question,here it goes.
I am looking to develop a client-server that supports multiple protocols such as HTTP, HTTPS etc. I am looking for a framework( i don't know if that is correct or I need some kind of web-service (soap etc)) that would manage connection, security etc. I would like to like to devote most of my time in developing business objects with multiple delivery mechanism such as sending serilized java objects, xml message or soap message, or in some case JMS message as well. So I need a client server that can come in via TCP/IP or HTTP or anyother industry standard protocol and I should be able to service him with pub/sub model and also request/response model as well.
I don't know if I had explained what I need, I would like to know what technologies I should be evaluating and which direction I should be heading... Also the server I'm developing should be free of Java constraints if needed...
Also this service is not webbased service as now but if need arises I should have a flexibilty to make them web enabled in future. Also I would like to work with open source webservers or appservers if I need

Inxsible wrote:I installed i3 - along with the i3status - which I still have to figure out. I am liking what I see as of now. It reminds me of wmii -- when I used it way back when. However I do not like the title bar. I would much rather prefer a 1 px border around the focused window.
"i3 was created because wmii, our favorite window manager at the time, didn't provide some features we wanted (multi-monitor done right, for example), had some bugs, didn't progress since quite some time and wasn't easy to hack at all (source code comments/documentation completely lacking). Still, we think the wmii developers and contributors did a great job. Thank you for inspiring us to create i3. "
To change the border of the current client, you can use bn to use the normal border (including window title), bp to use a 1-pixel border (no window title) and bb to make the client borderless. There is also bt which will toggle the different border styles.
Examples:
bindsym Mod1+t bn
bindsym Mod1+y bp
bindsym Mod1+u bb
or put in your config file
new_window bb
