Networking

Use the starter code here.

Notes:

• This is not a JApplet (cant do networking in an applet) but a similar class to JFrame called WatcherFrame so we extend that.
• I didnt implement runnable, but you could
• one new method receiveUpdate
  • Receive update will get called when you have received an update [note it receives an object, even if it might be a Dog, or whatever-> so you will need to cast it; ie (Dog d = (Dog)b;]
• to send an update
  • connection.sendObject(whatever); //where whatever is the object you want to send

  • whatever the object is the you send, it must implement Serializable, ie:

    • public class Dog implements Serializable
• There are several ways to start this:
  • startServerAndClient
  • justApp -just the app as a standalone
  • startServer
  • startClient

DISREGARD *****************************In a bluej project, you will need to import the library for networking here. (save it, then go to bluej, preferences, library, import it.).
