Implements a talk client and talk server. The classes in this package
implement all the functionality to implement a talk client and
server. The protocol for the client and server is compatible with the
Unix talk command, and ntalk server. This package does not include
the user interface for the talk client.
To implement a user interface, you need to implement the ITalkApp
interface and the ITalkView interface. Write a toplevel TalkApp class
that implements the ITalkApp interface. When the user wants to
connect to another user, the TalkApp should create a TalkSession
object, passing a reference to an ITalkApp to the TalkSession
constructor. Then the app calls the TalkSession.connect() function.
This function asynchronously tries to connect to the remote user. It
immediately calls the ITalkApp.createView function, which should
return an implemtation of ITalkView. The TalkSession will then
register a listener with the ITalkview object. Whenever the local
user types something, the ITalkView notifies the listener, and the
TalkSession sends the input to the remote user. Whenever the
TalkSession receives input from the remote user, it notifies its
ITalkView object, which displays it for the local user.
