Constructor Detail

RemoteTCPCompetency

protected RemoteTCPCompetency(IArchitecture architecture,
                              int port,
                              boolean serverMode,
                              java.lang.String serverAddress)

create a new remote TCP competency

Parameters:

architecture - a reference to the architecture object

port - the port on which we want to establish a connection

serverMode - if true, we act as a server and listen for a remote program to connect, if false, we assume the role of a client and connect to a server on the network

serverAddress - if serverMode is false this tells us the server address we have to connect to, if serverMode is true this parameter is not used (can be null)

Method Detail

initialize

public final void initialize()

initialises the tcp connection

Specified by:

initialize in class Competency

sendMessage

protected final void sendMessage(java.lang.String message)

use this method to send a message to the remotely connected competency. Call it typically from the startExecution method or from an event handler

Specified by:

sendMessage in class RemoteCompetency
