This is a simple chat program implemented in Java. The program consists of a server and multiple clients that can connect to the server and send messages to each other. The server listens for incoming client connections on a specified port and echoes back any messages it receives. The server also supports various commands that can be sent to it to control its behavior.
To run the server, you need to provide the port number on which the server should listen for incoming connections.
The server supports the following commands:
- #quit: Terminate the server.
- #stop: Stop listening for incoming connections.
- #close: Close all existing connections and terminate the server.
- #setport: Set the port number on which the server should listen for incoming connections.
- #start: Start listening for incoming connections.
- #getport: Get the current port number on which the server is listening for incoming connections.
- #login: Login to the server using a specified login ID.
To run the server, you need to provide a loginID, and optionally a host name and port number to connect to (defaults to host: "localhost", port: 5555 )
The client supports the following commands:
- #quit: Terminate the client.
- #logoff: Log off from the server.
- #login: Login to the server using a specified login ID.
- #setport: Sets port number to connect to.
- #sethost: Sets host name.
- #getport: returns port number.
- #gethost: returns host name.
