Network Programming exam papers (college exam papers)

hello.
my name is james mcfadden and i am a final year (4th year) undergraduate computing student at Letterkenny Institute of Technology. my e-mail address is [email protected] I have a question here for you. Would you have links to online versions of final year undergraduate Computing exam papers, specifically Networked Applications Development and or Network Management exam papers? I was only able to get access to Trinity College Dublin�s exam papers and Letterkenny IT�s exam papers.
The 2005/06 academic year is the 1st academic year that final year undergraduate computing students at Letterkenny IT are being taught how to continue doing network programming in Java. i was taught how to do simple network programs in Java when I was in 3rd year.
The name of the network programming subject that I�m doing in 4th year is Network Programming for Broadband Systems. It is divided into 2 parts: Programming and Networks. In past exam papers (C++ papers), a student would have had to answer 4 out of 6 questions. There would�ve been 4 programming questions and 2 networking questions on those papers. It is going to be the same for both the Summer and Autumn 2007 Broadband Network Programming exam papers, apart from fact that they will be Java papers and that a lot of the material that I have learned is new.
In 4th year I did Multicast Sockets, Threads, Non-Blocking I/O, Remote Method Invocation, Protocol Handlers, and Content Handlers for the Programming part of the subject (Java Network Programming, 3rd Edition, by Elliote Rusty Harold).
I did Network Security and Network Management for the Networks part of the subject (Computer Networking : A Top-Down Approach Featuring The Internet, 3rd Edition, by James F. Kurose and Keith W. Ross).
Your help is greatly appreciated.
Thank you.

Have you verified that your mysql allows network connections?
In order to allow network connections you have to comment or remove line "skip-networking" in my.ini(windows) or my.cnf(unix) configuration files of your mysql instance.
Or if you have the mysql administrator installed
MySQL Administrator / Startup Variables / Disable networking (uncheck)

Network Programming

I am somewhat familiar with how to make a connection between two machines and have one application talk to another. Basically you have a ServerSocket that the server uses to "listen: for incoming connections and a Socket that a client uses in order to initiate a connetion. Once a client makes a socket connection, the ServerSocket reutrns (via accept() ) a corresponding Socket through which communication takes place. You then have a true Socket to Socket connection and are able to treat the connection as an simple I/O Stream.
But how would I be able to simply establish a connection between a Java Application on one machine and a C application on the other. I am not that familiar with C code...but I need to be able to send strings from my Java application into an application that a team member of mine is writing.

On the java side you use the same Socket and ServerSocket code. On the C side it really depends on which C you are using and which operating system. In VC++ version 5 or 6 you should look at the MS WSA* functions or you could use the socket implementation in MFC. If you using Ansi C on a unix or linux system you can use "berkeley sockets", to get a start check out "man socket".
You might want to get a copy of "Unix Network Programming Volume 1" by Stevens, regardless of the C system you plan to use.

Where can I find knowledge about "java network programming"?

I am interested in network programming in java. I need some documents and I don't where can I find it?

Network programming beginner

Hi All,
I have been programming for a while in java but for the first time am doing network programming. Basically I have to connect to one of our supplier's systems. They have setup a raw TCP/IP exchange for request response. We send them requests as a string over tcp/ip and they reply back with a string. The formats of course are propritory to the supplier(a big telecom company).
My problem is quite simple at the surface, i the hell cant figure this out!!
We have mulitple suppliers and I have a method called sendRequest(String req) in a general SupplierConnect interface. The implementation for this supplier (other suppliers talk SOAP so its simpler :) ) opens a socket... my code is as follows
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
public String sendRequest(String requestData) throws Exception{
Socket sock = new Socket("xx.xxx.xxx.xx", 15001);
StringBuffer responseData = new StringBuffer();
try{
//     sock.setSoTimeout(15000);
//setup writer
BufferedWriter out = new BufferedWriter(new OutputStreamWriter(sock.getOutputStream()));
out.write(requestData);
//setup reader
BufferedReader in = new     BufferedReader(new InputStreamReader(sock.getInputStream()));
int c = 0;
while (c != -1)
     c = in.read();
     responseData.append((char)c);
sock.close();
sock = null;
}catch(Exception e){
               System.out.println(e.getMessage());
          }finally{
               if (sock != null)
                    System.out.println("Closing sock");
                    sock.close();
                    sock = null;
          return responseData.toString();
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
The problem is that the program waits indefinately in the while loop at the in.read()... it doesnot exit. I know i commented out the timeout of
15 seconds cos that would help me exit... but i dont land up receiving any data and it just gets stuck there.
I do not have any support from the Suppliers IT people so the last option was to check if i am doing things right... i really dont knw if i am doing sumthing worng here..
So advise,
Thanks :)
manubhai

Hey guys it works now - thanks for the byte[] idea..
I do get the response now! however since the supplier does not return a -1 my while loop gets stuck. I have currently put a socket timeout to help break out - any clues to make this better????
current code:
try{
sock.setSoTimeout(15000);
ByteArrayOutputStream ba = new ByteArrayOutputStream();
ba.write(requestData.getBytes(),0,requestData.length());
ba.writeTo(sock.getOutputStream());
//setup reader
BufferedReader in = new     BufferedReader(new InputStreamReader(sock.getInputStream()));
int c = 0;
while (c != -1)
c = in.read();
responseData.append((char)c);
sock.close();
sock = null;
}catch(Exception e){
     System.out.println(e.getMessage());
}

Desperately need Java network programming help!!!

I need to make a Distributed File Sharing System (DFSS) using java language. The system should not make use of the central file server. The system should coordinate the concurrent access of files over the distributed environment. Caching may be used to enhance the system performance.
It is basically network programming.
Does any one have any idea how to make the DFSS. If you do please help!!!
thank you in advance for you help
cheers

well, you're getting somewhere I guess. My original answer was intentionally vague because your original question was so vague. These fora are no good for asking questions like "how do I implement a distributed file system", they are good for asking things like "the following line(s) of code generate the following condition I didn't expect, rather I expected this condition, could someone tell me what is going on?" or something of similar specificity.
So you are now asking how to, for instance, check to see if a text file is being shared. This is still too vague, but it's better than "how do I write a file sharing system". If you are feeling particularly industrious, go look at a project JXTA at http://www.jxta.org/ - it's open source, you can look at the code. Of course, if you're brand new, this might not help. In fact, not to discourage you, but if you're that new, this is not the project to be doing.
Good Luck

Looking into the possibilities of network programming

Hi,
One of my client is using a database application at their retail
outlets. They have around 40 outlets located at various parts of
the country. Now they want to set up a database at their Head Office
and transfer all the data from the retail outlets to it. There are
broadband internet connections available at all the outlets but
there are chances of internet connectivity going down. The database
we are using is PostgreSql 8.0
Can this be achieved through a background process running at each
retail outlet? Sending small packets of data from retail outlet to
HO as soon as a transaction is persisited. There are Static IP
available at HO.
Can this be succesfully implimented? Has anybody done a similar
work before? Is there any other alternative? Will Java Messaging
or Network programming be helpful? Please help.
Thank you.
Vishal.

The database product ought to be able to federate itself without you having to write any application code. If not, the best solution is to chagne DB vendor to one that does.

Missing network programming on VOD?

Normally VOD of network programming is a day behind. It looks like the past 2 days aren't up yet- namely Life (NBC), CSI (CBS) and Grey's Anatomy (ABC). Is it just me? -- or is it a system-wide problem?

Here in So Cal we are missing Grey's, Lipstick Jungle, and Numb3rs as of Sunday. Its starting to get irritating waiting for some of these shows to come up on VOD... whats going on Verizon?

Network programming - portability ?????

Hi,
I m developing a network game , using a multithread model. Do i need to hardcode the inet-address and port number of the server - i.e. SocketServer .
If there is a better option ,then please tell.... because hardcoding the server inet address removes the portability aspect of my code.
I am not using any feature of J2EE its purely network programming in J2SE.
Thanks in advance

Hi,
I m developing a network game , using a multithread
model. Do i need to hardcode the
inet-address and port number of the
server - i.e. SocketServer .Why would you think that? What would be special about parameters that you pass to networking methods vs. parameters that you pass to any other methods that the networking methods would know or care where they came from? Just like any other data your program uses, that data can be provided on the command line or in a properties file or by the preferences api or from a database or input from a user or or or or or....

Network programming tips

I am new to network programming can anybody give me some tips on ways to optimize speed of an application that gets data via sockets over the network?
You can assume its just a simple program where the client that gets continuous data feeds of sales amounts from the server and I want to make this program run faster.
I would appreciate any ideas.
Thanks!!

I suggest you test your network to see what its latency and bandwidth is e.g. ping or transfer a large file and work out what you requirements are for latency and bandwidth.
It very likely that you won't need to anything special in Java.
You can assume its just a simple program where the client that gets continuous data feeds of sales amounts from the server and I want to make this program run faster.You should get a better understanding of the end to end process which needs to be faster and where you can make the most improvement. You are likely to find the GUI doesn't handle large tables or you are missing an index in your database.
In Summary: determine where you can make the most difference and optimise that.
I would appreciate any ideas. Actually there are loads of things you can do to make the network faster, but I would only do them if you actually need to.
If you have done this analysis already what conclusions have you come to?Thanks a lot Peter!!
All the posts in this thread have been helpful but yours definitely is the main direction I am looking for so I appreciate.
Please if you can go a little further and help me with these issues....
I am designing an application that is suppose to get real time data feeds over the network. Now as you said the network is slower than the CPU... But what if I am aiming for a latency of 5ms (just for the sake of discussion) but I ping the network and I see the latency is 10ms.
Is there a way in this case you suggest I can optimize the network to reduce the latency.
And no I haven't done the analysis yet. I am designing an application but I have never done this type of application so I am brainstorming now and you all have really helped out a lot so far!!

Network programming book

Hi friends,
I want to know about a book related to "Multicast and multi-homing" network programming in java.
Thanks
Ghouse

I would suggest you look at Java Network Programming on Amazon.
To repeat a previous posting, you cannot multicast over the internet.
Multi-homing is and old approach to using a PC as a firewall. The PC has two network cards and passes packets back and forth based on filtering rules. Is this what you are looking for? Why wouldn't use use a firewall applicance which is probibly cheaper?

Advanced Java network programming

I have been playing around with the various Server/Client tutorials not only on this site but many others for some time now. Whilst I have learnt a great deal I am now trying to further my knowledge.
The problem is, there does not seem to be a great deal of information on the Web realting to the advanced network programming stuff. Obviously not having a network of my own I am now interested in learning various ideas using the Internet. Obviously not being a prat about it and port scanning other computers or anything like that.
I was hoping someone reading this might have a suggestion about where to go next in my learning curve. Also if anyone could recommend any good sources of info for this type of stuff.
I've currently got three telephone lines in, each line with a seperate Internet account set-up. What I want to do is have them all connected to the web at once and then attempt various things, such as connection, that type of stuff.
Help really appreciated.
Thanks,
kP

Maybe I'm catching the wrong vibe here, but it seems to me that you need to learn a bit about networking in general, before you worry about how it's all done in java. I would suggest a good basic computer networking text book. After you have good understanding of how different networks works, packet structure of the various common protocols, IP, TCP over IP and UDP over IP. I think the java code to implement it all will just fall into place. my AIM SN is SpinozaQ if you would like a book suggestion. I don't have any names going through my head right now.

Starting Network Programming

Hi I am currently jumping into using java to make network applications. I am currently reading a book covering the basics of networking along with how tcp/ip works while working through a small suplemental book called "TCP/IP Sockets in Java for Programmers". I was wondering if any one had some suggestions on books to check out, or a better route to learning how to programming network applications.
Thanks,
Francesco DeSensi

Don't jump into network programming first. Learn the basics of Java first (check the tutorials. You'll thank yourself.

Programs for papers and presenations

What programs are avialble for writing papers on mac? Are they free? What programs are their to make presentations are they similiar to power point?

The best free software for that is LibreOffice, it's a fork of OpenOffice that's open for developers around the world to contribute on since Oracle bought Sun and wants to kill OpenOffice or give it away or something.
https://www.libreoffice.org/
Good thing, there are Mac, PC and Linux versions, reads/write Office formats, makes PDFs and even if the other person doesn't have the program or needs to tweak your stuff, you could include it free with your files and they can use it free too.
Donate of course, it's donationware.
