lan messenger
hi guysi am having a project to make a lan messengeri am new to java some suggestions so as to move in which direction,refrences,source codes would be helpful.i hav read some ideas about sockets but i think i need more informationcheers
Have a look at existing solutions, the most popular are using existing , well known protocols - e.g. Jabber! If you don't have to program everything from scratch use existing java API for jabber like: http://www.igniterealtime.org, otherwise learn how it is done and try to do smth similar, the whole idea is to exchange XML format messages and the whole thing becomes easy! :)
oh great kristhanks,jabber seems helpfulbut can you throw some light on concept what jabber isi have heard about this for the first time though i have downloded it,and may be till you reply i may have started using itthanks dude once againcheers
