    This exercise asks you to modify an instant messaging application called SimpleChat to add new client and server side features. On the client side, you need to: a) have the client print a message and quit if the server shuts down, and b) allow the client to specify the port number from the command line. On the server side, you need to c) have the server print messages whenever a client connects or disconnects. You are instructed not to modify the OCSF framework code.

    Exercise E49

    This exercise will help you to become familiar with the internals of OCSF and Phase 1 of an
    instant messaging application that we call SimpleChat; the application is available at
    www.lloseng.com. Modify the application to provide the following features (Remember: Do
    not modify the OCSF framework):
    • Client side
    a) Currently, if the server shuts down while a client is connected, the client does
    not respond, and continues to wait for messages. Modify the client so that it
    responds to the shutdown of the server by printing a message saying the server
    has shut down, and quitting.
    b) The client currently always uses a default port. Modify the client so that it
    obtains the port number from the command line. Design hint: look at the way it
    obtains the host name from the command line.
     Test that this works by connecting a client to a server using a different
    port from the default. If the port is omitted from the command line,
    then the default value should be used.
    • Server side
    c) Currently the server ignores situations where clients connect or disconnect.
    Modify the server so that it prints out a nice message whenever a client
    connects or disconnects. Hint: you will simply have to write code in
    EchoServer that overrides certain methods found in AbstractServer.
