Small client server project. deisgn idea good or bad?

Hi,
I have a question:
I have this plan to make a small Swing based GUI on the client machine (that I would like a novice user to be able to double click on to launch) which needs to connect to a Server side component , I am thinking a simple Servlet or JSP page. Then what needs to happen is a few messages are transferred to ascertain the users identity for authenitcation as so:
1. Client -> Server 2. Server -> Client 3. Client -> Server. Access gratned or not for access to restricted web page (imagine inbox e-banking etc)
So the main questions are:
1. Can I make a small Swing based GUI App, NOT an applet as I need to read from the client, that can be easily launched by an idiot ;)
2. Can that small app converse with a Servlet in the manner described above.
3. Kinda like 2. Can the Client App launch a browser window to that when the messages are done the user can then get into the area the server has granted them access to (depending on the messages).
I would really appriciate the help. I have looked about on the internet and in books but I never really got a succinct picture this would be possible.
Thanks!

1. Can I make a small Swing based GUI App, I don't know if you can or not! It's certainly possible...
NOT an applet See above.
as I need to read from the client, That's not a restriction. You can sign your applets.
that can be easily launched by an idiot ;) Once again, that's up to you.
2. Can that small app converse with a Servlet in the
manner described above.Yes.
3. Kinda like 2. Can the Client App launch a browser

Help in client server project

Asalam-o-Alikum!
I m writing client server project. In that project there are many classes that are being used in both (client application and server application). Im using JCreator and also netbeans 5.5 IDE. Plz anyone can help that should i design 1 project for cilent and server. or 2 different projects 1 for client and 1 for server. If i have to use 2 different projects than how can I make available those classes to both projects (client and server) that are being shared by client and server. and i have to make 1 project than how can i run both client and server separately.
thanks in advance.

Aslam-o-Alikum!
I am designing a new project that depends on another project. I want to use the classes made in previous project into my new project. Someone (as above) has told me to make the jar file of that class and set the class path to that jar file. Anyone can further tell me that how can set the class path of that project into my new project. And how to import the classes from that project that i have made previously???
Example:
I am designing project name "A" and i have to use a class "b" that not the part of project "A". But actually it is part of project "B". That i have made previously. Please tell how this can be achieved? making jar file of project "B" is right answere then how can i set the path of project "B" in project "A". and how to import class "b" into project "A". I am using JCreator pro 4.0
This is the summary of obove posts. so plz dont read above posts just read this and plz help me if u could.
Plz reply me with a simple example.
Thanks in advance...!

Tips for Client-Server project please...

I've written a few Java apps (some very simple, some not quite so simple) so far and I think I'm ready to begin tackling my big goal. I want to create a distributable client desktop application that will actually be very simple in functionality. I want the clients to be able to connect to a server (that I will also be creating) for authentication and then allow automated messages to be sent to other clients also connected to the network. I'd like any links to tutorials, libraries, and anything else that would help point me in the right direction. Thanks!

Actually, if you're on about clients sending messages to each other, then you're not really talking about client-server apps at all. You're veering off into JMS territory, maybe even ESB territory(but probably not). Have a butchers at ActiveMQ, and Camel, both from Apache, for that.
Either way, I wouldn't bother creating your own server, just use an existing one. Jetty's nice and lightweight, and easy to embed. You're about to say "I'd rather create my own" but it's a bothersome task that people far more skilled than you (and me, before you take offence) have already done much better than you ever will. Take advantage of that fact, and concentrate on the specifics of your own app.

I need to use Windows Small Business Server. Any ideas?

I need Internet Explorer in order to use Windows Small Business Server. Since that isn't available for Mac are there any other options?

If you are trying to use the Remote Workspace features of SBS only Internet Explorer will work, so you need Windows.
Or, if your IT dept will play ball and you can get the necessary permissions you can connect via a VPN and use Microsoft's Remote Desktop for Mac app (App Store)
Talk to your IT Dept.

Client/server application under development

Hi there,
I've been working on a client/server application that includes chat and whiteboard features. In terms of how the client app communicates with the server app, my initial thought was to just go with xml, until I reached a snag. Everything about chat and almost everything that is accomplished on the whiteboard can be expressed in terms of text or character data; which what makes xml a good candidate for moving the data back and forth from client to server. However, there's one part of the whiteboard feature that can't be converted to just text. The whiteboard has an ImageTool. With it you can select an image (gif,jpg) from your harddrive and load it into the whiteboard. An image is binary data and simply cannot be put into an xml file for transport. At least, that's my understanding. Am I wrong about this?
So, this poses the questions: "How do other similar applications like MSN Messenger move images around? If they're not using xml as there medium, what are they using? Just plain sockets without any structured medium like xml?"
Please advise,
Alan

You could always Base64 encode the image file content and then put the Base64 in XML.
I am in the middle of a client-server project and I use XStream ( http://xstream.codehaus.org/ ) to convert Objects to XML automatically. I don't have to do any explicit encoding - XStream does it all for me.

Multiple Clients in Client/Server Program

I'm currently trying to make a small Client/Server application that will mimic a very basic chat room program. The basic idea is that the Server side of the program is started and multiple Client programs can connect and communicate with each other. However, I'm having a few problems at the moment, mostly with figuring out how it can work.
Firstly, I can communicate one to one with the server and the client as the client socket is stored in a variable. However, to make it possible to allow multiple connections I've used a thread for each new connection but I'm not sure how I can broadcast messages to every connection. Would it be safe enough to store each client socket in a list and then communicate that way? Not sure what will happen when the client disconnects though it seems to be an issue.
I'm also not sure how every message can be broadcasted to every single connections to the server. The server program can send a message to every client but the clients message at the moment only goes to the server. Anyway here's a bit of my code so far:
SwingWorker<Socket, Void> worker = new SwingWorker<Socket, Void>() {
        protected Socket doInBackground() throws Exception {
            // Client socket
            try {
                while (!stopRequested) {
                    clientSocket = serverSocket.accept();
                    // Stop requested is checked twice because the accept() method
                    // waits for a connection
                    if (!stopRequested) {
                        HostFrame.getFeedbackTextArea().append("New Connection Found");
                        Thread clientThread = new HandlerThread(clientSocket);
                        clientThread.start();
                    else {
                        serverSocket.close();
                        clientSocket.close();
            catch (Exception e) {
                HostFrame.getFeedbackTextArea().append("Failed to Connect with Client");
                System.out.println(e.getMessage());
            return clientSocket;
    };The SwingWorker is used so that the GUI doesn't freeze when the server tries to find a connection. At the moment it just creates a thread for each new connection but I'm guessing this isn't what I'm going to be needing to handle more than one client. Also at the moment I have no way of directing a message to a specific socket I'm pretty much just using the standard method shown on the Sun website about Sockets. Any help would be much appreciated

clientSocket = serverSocket.accept();'clientSocket' should be a local variable here.
else {
serverSocket.close();
clientSocket.close();You shouldn't close 'clientSocket here'. All you're accomplishing is closing the most recently accepted client socket. What about the others? Generally speaking you should let the client-handling threads take care of their own sockets completely.
return clientSocket;This return statement is meaningless. You may as well return null. SwingWorker doesn't care. Don't just return something because you've got it lying around. In this case you shouldn't have it lying around.
At the moment it just creates a thread for each new connection but I'm guessing this isn't what I'm going to be needing to handle more than one client.That is exactly what you have to do to handle more than one client. Once you fix it as per above.
Also at the moment I have no way of directing a message to a specific socket I'm pretty much just using the standard method shown on the Sun website about Sockets.You probably need to keep a Map of client sockets accepted, keyed by some client identifier.

Advanced Client Server Application

Hi friends .I'm working on a client server project.In this project I must use two OBJECTOUTPUTSTREAM and OBJECTINPUTSTREAM.But in the program one of them lock the program.
This code a part of from my code.
input1 and input2 a ObjectInputStream.
There are two serversocket in the server side.
Client side got two socket and connected server's two sockets.
Sockets had an objectoutputstream and an objectinputstream.
This project about a game .But players can talk to each other.
input1 send the game move to another player.
input2 send the chat message to anoyher player.
But program always wait the input1 after wait input2.As soon as one of the player moves or seend message another side must take it same time
I can't do this.
do{
move=*this*.input1.read();
// this wake for move and lock the program here.program doesn't go down.IT'IS A PROBLEM
message=(String)*this*.inputi2.readObject();
}*while*(!str.equalsIgnoreCase("Kapat"));
I thought very much about it.I think I must use a thing lile listener whitch run as soon as objectoutput write to input.
I'm waiting for your help.If you show a sample code about this subject I pleased very much.

I'll go further than that. I'd say that these days, any time you have any kind of client/server application, the first question you should ask is, is there any pressing reason why we can't just use a web server for the server do all communication over HTTP using a textual serialization mechanism like XML and preferably using REST?
The documentation and infrastructure for this stuff is so extensive these days, and the potential for repurposing is so great, that going any other way without a good reason is a waste of effort. Even if HTTP/REST/XML isn't an exact fit, it can still be worth it (at least for prototyping) just for the convenience.

JMF - client server video streaming how to stop

Hi
I am able to stream video from a server to multiple clients using AVReceive2 and AVTransmit2 from the JMF site.
Iam developing a client server project. I have modified the above code such that Iam able to start and stream the videos by calling on servlets and socket connections.
The AVTransmit2 code does not however have a stop button and it uses a thread.sleep method. I do not know how to add a stop button in the GUI on AVReceive2 to call on AVTransmit2.
I am using sockets to communicate to and from the server. Do i have to use RMI or is there another easier way to call stop from the client which would stop the transmission on the server?
Also, after the video file has been successfully streamed, when I refresh and try to connect again, the server is invoked and __it starts transmission_,_ but the servlet which calls the AVReceive fails and the frame does not show. Any possible reasons why?
Thanks in advance.

I don't know the speed of the connection.
4-10 users usually.
.11b or .11g I don't know.
microwave nearby - I don't know
5-6 other wifis - yes
I will try Safari, thanks!
Thanks for the update. The speed of the Wi-Fi in the
coffee shop will depend on many factors. What is the
speed of their connection to the Internet? How many
people are sharing the Wi-Fi? Is it 802.11b or
802.11g? Do they have a microwave operating nearby?
That will often interfere. Are there additional Wi-Fi
networks nearby? That can interfere as well. It's
possible that it was their network that's causing
your trouble. But, to rule that out, did you try
using Safari instead? You might make sure you have an
up-to-date version of the Flash player which you can
get at http://www.adobe.com
I have Clearwire
at home, it's basically like wireless DSL. It's not
as fast as cable Internet access, but it is portable.
I only mentioned it because it would indicate that
you don't need cable speed to watch the videos
without buffering.

Hi,
with your program, you seem to have the full control over your house ;-). Why it shouldn't work over internet as it is? You have TCP open, TCP close...in Internet, you simply have to use other IP-adresses as the local ones. So can you specify your question? Or is it a problem with your LAN-infrastructure, that you have to configure your router to have access from outside?
I don't see why it shouldn't work over Inet...

RMI call back - How to refer to the client project from the server project?

Hi, I am working on an RMI assignment which basically needs me to use the RMI call back for the server to notify the clients.
I have 2 projects , one for the client and another for the server.
In the client project, I have a client interface and the main client class implements this interface.
In the server project, I have a server interface and a class that implements this interface.
I can use the server interface in the client project's code by adding the server project in the path of the client project. it lets me use the server interface in the code if I put "import.." statement.
But the issue is I can not do the same to access the client interface from within the server project's code. Since that will be a circular reference, the compiler does not let me use the client interface from within the server's code. This is putting me in a great difficulty and I am stuck here. What should I do so that I can use the client interface and the compiler won't complain?
Thanks for any help..
Regards.. js

Let me explain what I tried: I manually generated stub class of the client using the Eclipse IDE as mentioned in my previous message. The StockMSClient_Stub.class got created in my client project.
The common project has the 2 interfaces - one from the client and one from the server.
I have added reference to the common project from the client and server projects to use the interfaces.
With the above mentioned in place, when I run the server project, the registry binding of the server objects is very fine. But I am getting error in the applet at the line where I am passing the client object to the method provided by the server interface. The following is the code snippet in the applet where I am getting the error.
specifically the line: String response = objs.login(userId, password, smsClient);     ====================
public void login() {
            Registry reg = null;
            String userId = "test";
            String password = "test";
            this.smsClient = new StockMSClient();
            try {
     reg = LocateRegistry.getRegistry(rmiHost,rmiPort);
                      UserInterface obj = (UserInterface) reg.lookup(rmiStrings
                                                                                                                    [1]);
     User u = obj.find(userId);
     if (u == null) {
          System.out.println("This user is not valid");
     } else {
                     UnicastRemoteObject.exportObject(smsClient);
     reg = LocateRegistry.getRegistry(rmiHost, rmiPort);
     LoginLogoutInterface objs = (LoginLogoutInterface) reg
                             .lookup(rmiStrings[0]);
                    //getting error at the following line.
                    String response = objs.login(userId, password, smsClient);
                     System.out.println("response :" + response);
           } catch (AccessException ae) {
                   System.out.println(ae);
           } catch (NotBoundException nbe) {
                  System.out.println(nbe);

Client / Server......project

Hi!!
I'm planing to do a project in , controlling devices remotely through the internet using the standard IP addresses..I feel that I have to use a client server architecture for this but I don't know how to apply this concept since im not very experienced in this setting client server programs. And I'm planing to access the remote pc's serial port and send messages to the controlled device..
Since i'm very determined to do this project I would appreciate any help extended towards this aspect.....and I would also like to know how the application programing should be organized.
Thanx alot
bye..

bye..I've actually built an application very similar to this before (minus the serial programming) - but you're on the right track. The application consisted of a Server that ran on the "dummy" machine and a Client that sent commands (I wrote a small scripting language that the server would parse and execute) to the dummy machine. I built a grid-panel of buttons that - when clicked - would send prescripted commands and I also had a "command prompt" that allowed the user to write and execute more detailed, customized and advanced commands through the script itself. I will look for the code tonight - I've got it on a CD somewhere with all the other nick-nack applications that I've tinkered with - and post it for you if I can find it.
My recommendation would be - in addition to reading the links that were mentioned in the prior post - to see the ServerSocket and Socket tutorials on Sun's website.

Publishing .fla project including client - server socket connection

Hi,
I have designed with Adobe Flash Professional CS5 a .fla project that integrates a client - server connection.
After publishing it, I have the following issue:
- when running the generated .exe file for Windows, then the connection to the server works perfectly
- but when I am running the published .html file, then nothing is sent to the server.
I have tried to change the Publish Settings.
When setting the Local Playback Security in Flash menu to "Access network only" instead of "Access local files only" then the last packet that was send using the .exe file is resent once and that's all (the html client does not receive the response from the server and the next connection attemps generate data transfer).
I guess I have to change some security settings somewhere but I didn't find which.
Does anybody have a hint ?
Thanks.

Hi again,
I was finally able to solve the issue.
I did not get any error message when using firefox, but using iExplorer provided me this error:
"Local-with-filesystem SWF files are not permitted to use sockets"
Googling did then allow me to find the solution here:
http://www.macromedia.com/support/documentation/en/flashplayer/help/settings_manager04.htm l
The local locations on which I store my html page during the development has to be added to the trusted locations in the global security settings.
Hope it will help some other people.
Best regards

JavaFX as a SaaS/ How good is it for Client-Server work?

I was under the impression that FX could be used to produce a Client-Server application as well as SaaS.
a member of another forum said "I'm sure you meant to say "Desktop". JavaFX will not be making inroads on the web as a client-side technology."
To which I said
There have been examples of FX used with EE
http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/java/javafx/samples/index.html
http://docs.oracle.com/javafx/2/overview/jfxpub-overview.htm
Sales Dashboard (DataApp)
DataApp is a client-server application for a fictional global automobile company called Henley Car Sales. Automobile sales are simulated on an EJB server using JavaDB, and the data is available via Derby and a RESTful web service. The client demonstrates a variety of data presentations by using a mix of FXML and JavaFX.
I thought originally that JavaFX was "Desktop" only also, until I found this example. I couldn't get it to run due to some weird Database line read issue that others also had. I'm not sure if this is now due to FX's integration, or if this was something new, but I believe I have seen another FX client-server app as well.
I'm not that familiar with the client-server side of Java yet, so if you have other Information I would like to know, because I am looking to design a Client-Server app with FX, and I don't see why it would be an issue, unless there are huge limitations."
He ended up saying "Those are still desktop apps. Sure, they are client-server in that they connect to a remote database. But they are still traditional fat-client apps rather than web-based thin-client SAAS web applications which, these days, most people will think of when you say "client".
My point is to be more precise when you use the word "client".
But if your point is just that JavaFX is taking over from Swing for the limited areas in which Swing is used, I have no insight into that area."
Now I don't really like attitudes when I get my question answered, but the high and mighty needs to stop. It clearly says Client-Server so I don't know why it's being denounced by this dude who thinks he obviously knows better.
Anyways he talks about it only being able to connect to a DB, to which it says it uses EE tech such as EBJ, Restful, and Derby, so that's more than just DB right(I don't know since I havent' learned that yet)?
It seems as if he's saying that only EE code can go up on a server? Or can SE code go up there as well?
I'm looking to design a SaaS software with FX, so if this isnt' possible I would like to know possible other options(or just having all of the gui work on the client, and the rest on the backend)???
Thanks!

This response is not a tutorial, I hope it gives you some verbiage to use in further searches.
SaaS to me means that the service is running on the server. If you have the server and permission to run java apps there then you can use Java FX by having the server shuttle requests to the Java FX app. But this is probably not the intent of Saas (it would be more appropriate to use a java implemented web service).
If you are using Netbeans then it is very easy to create demo projects; use "File/New Project" to run them on your local computer.
Example File/New Project/Java Web/Web Application will give you a hello world web site very quickly. This will 1) start either tomcat or glassfish as the server. 2) launch an html page with "hello world". then you can use java script to talk with the server via ajax. Using this approach you are going to need to study JSP or J2EE stuff.
After this is running you could start one of the Java Fx examples in Netbeans: File / New Project / Samples / WebViewBrowser. This will start a javaFX app that acts like a browser and runs on the client.
So, start the "hello world" app in netbeans by right clicking it in the project pain and selecting "debug". Then start the webviewBrowser app the same way to load that web page that has "hello world" in it as all browsers do. In the WebviewBrowser (which is java fx) you can get at the javascript in the web page and do all kinds of stuff. You'll need to search for webviewBrowser examples.
The above all assumes a Netbeans solution. But, as you probably know, there are no rules. The server can be in C++ and the client in C (or any other language). The server and client usally communicate via http or tcp. So you could have a server written in java (maybe J2ee or you can rewrite a http server from scratch which isn't that hard - search for "HttpServletRequest and HttpSession" ) and the client can be in Java FX (where the Java FX talks directly with the server via http (no javascript or web page in the middle) again there are probably hundreds of libraries to talk to a http server).
I use HttpServletRequest and HttpSession on the server side with MySQL and xml. On the client I use javaScript but I am moving to a strictly Java FX solution. This will give me close to 100% java on both sides and for my purposes this will work. (I may need a little html in the middle for drag and drop installation.) I am hoping that work continues with porting Java FX to most devices: Android, IOS, WinPhone. It is already on Linux, Windows Desktops and Mac.

The number of client access licenses may be reset to five in Windows Small Business Server 2003

Ran into an issue on the server after the power loss.
My Client Access Licenses were reset to 5 with Maximum usage of 12. I have about 25 PC's and Server also hosts exchange, which now prevents users from accessing OWA and local profiles. After digging around and reading logs, I eliminated issue to the licensing.
All the steps described in the Article ID: 888818 do not work, since the licenses were never backed up in the first place. Resetting, did not help either, since it's looking for a file, we don't have.
Additionally, the auto-populated solutions, were already tried with no success.
Please let me know if there is a way to restore licensing via original license key, provided on the machine, or I have to purchase it.
Thank you for your time.

Any help here? (especially the autolicstr.cpa file)
