I have an application(SWT) where i need to manage a file at the server end. By managing i mean 3 things, writing contents to the file, applying read/write lock mechanism to it and displying the same in the TextArea
. I need to create a multithreaded server to achieve this as my application(which actually is a eclipse based plugin) accepts multiple users. I'm new to this client-server thing and socket programming and i've read few tutorials but still havent found any optimum solution to it. I do not need the code(there are plenty on the internet), rather i need the way or the steps to do it.
Thanks.
Also, i found some server code which actually works fine. However not displaying the desired results.
What i rellay want to do with this file is to maintain the author's name. revision number and related destils as the SVN do on the server side.
Server Program:
public void onServer() throws Exception {
String sentByClient;
String line1 = null;
ServerSocket socket = new ServerSocket(6789);
while(true) {
System.out.println("Listening...");
Socket connectionSocket = socket.accept();
BufferedReader inFromClient =
new BufferedReader(new InputStreamReader(connectionSocket.getInputStream()));
DataOutputStream outToClient = new DataOutputStream(connectionSocket.getOutputStream());
sentByClient = inFromClient.readLine();
System.out.println("Received: " + sentByClient);
File file=new File("HistoryFile.txt");//------------------server file
BufferedWriter writ=new BufferedWriter(new FileWriter(file));
writ.write(sentByClient);
writ.close();
BufferedReader read=new BufferedReader(new FileReader(file));
while((line1=read.readLine())!=null) {
System.out.println(line1);
}
outToClient.writeBytes(line1);
}
}
Client code:
public void onClient(String param) throws Exception {
Socket clientSocket = new Socket("localhost", 6789);
DataOutputStream outToServer = new DataOutputStream(clientSocket.getOutputStream());
BufferedReader inFromServer = new BufferedReader(new InputStreamReader(clientSocket.getInputStream()));
//sentence = inFromUser.readLine();
sentence=param; // Here i'm sending the author name, revision details, etc from svn to my server
outToServer.writeBytes(sentence);
newSentence = inFromServer.readLine();
System.out.println("FROM SERVER: " + newSentence);
historyArea.append(newSentence);
}
What i actually need is maintaining a file on the server and displaying the file contents on the textArea(historyArea). I'm sending the history data from SVN to the file.
Desired Ouptut:
Revision Number: 1
Author: a
Time:xxxx
Changed Path:xxxx
-------------------
Revision Number: 2
