Once the client and server objects are ready, let's write some code to get these objects in place.
Two small programs that start off the process on the server and the client respectively are called ServerStarter and ClientStarter.
Creates an instance of our PopupServerImpl and binds it to the registry
Waits for the any of the clients or the console to transmit a message to all other clients
The registry can be started by independently invoking the registry from the prompt (by launching rmiregisrty.exe) or from within the code like this:
public static void main(String args[]){
LocateRegistry.createRegistry(5000);
ServerImpl serverobj = new SevrerImpl();
Naming.rebind("//:5000/ServerPop" , serverobj);
}
That's all it takes for the server to bind the object to the registry.
The rest of the code puts the server in a loop and waits for a message to be typed on the console by the admin to be sent to all users who are logged on.
BufferedReader br = new BufferReader( new InputStreamReader( System.in));
while(true){
String message = br.readLine();
Serverobj.sendMessage(message);
}
