Week 8

Telemedicine Network & Java


The solution for the network implementation had to be found using the programming language Java.

Java provides a developer with a variety of facilities for implementing client server architectures. There are at least two different ways to use Java for that task.
The first is to use the java.net package which means to create the server and client socket and to define you protocol by fixing command Strings in the client and the server.
A second way to set up your network environment could be to use the Java package java.rmi and related packages. That way allows you to use the rmi.Remote interface to define a protocol between the client and the server. As far as I understand that packages client and server sockets have not to be implemented directly by the programmer. The programmer itself has to extend the rmi.Remote interface only to define the functions a connected object can run on it. That means to define the protocol between server and client not by defining command Strings but to define functions to be called from the connected object.
