Project Description
SocketTalk is a library of Java[tm] classes to simplify
peer to peer communication through sockets.
Client and Server implementation
The Java[tm] language already offers base classes for
communication through sockets. SocketTalk adds a
framework to implement the 'behaviour' usually
expected from a typical socket server and client.
Threading model
SocketTalk adds a threading model suitable to implement
non blocking communication via an unlimited number
of connections and ports.
Pluggable protocols and message handling
With SocketTalk a developer can easily build an own
protocol and message handling through a set of
base classes to subclass from. The base classes
already model basic interaction and threading.
Not beta but not final
This version has proven to work although it might not already
have all and every feature that one would think of in conjunction
with the described purpose.
As well documentation still is quite rudimentary. Everybody is
welcome and invited to contribute to SocketTalk.
