Hey all,
I'm trying to develop a java code that will alow for me to produce a client - server chat application...
Now the difficult part.. the application needs to do the following...
A client goes to a web page where they "request" to chat to a server side user...
The client can then chat to the server and the server can chat to the client.. But its a 1 to 1 chat no - one can view those chat messages,, a bit like private chat..
But if another client goes to the web page they can also "request" to chat.. So now there will be 2 clients chatting to either 1 server side user or to another server side user....
The service that i am trying to replicate is the same as what <!-- w --><a class="postlink" href="http://www.webhelp.com">www.webhelp.com</a><!-- w --> provide...
I would be very grateful for any help or ideas.. help and ideas provided will be duely accredited
Thanksone way around this would to be duplication of a current java program and change the max ammount of users of the room to 2. However, when another person connects have a re-direct for a new chat room name which will require more server resources. i'm not 100% sure if the Big Resources network offers a free Download able java chat program for client and server, but i don know free programs like this do exist.
have you considered having the chats remotely hosted?
chris<pixelmonkey>:monkey:I am unable to get a copy of the java program in question, but was therefore hoping to find a very similiar 1 around...
U mentioned remote hosting? how would this help achieve wot i am looking for??
Thanks for your replyseveral host have cgi chat rooms which you can limit the ammount of users in a room. i'm sure if you search the web enough you can find a java chat host that will enable a room or group of rooms which you will be able to customize and not need to worry about having it break. when linking to the room, it will however require your visitor to leave your domain (viewing the url for the host that has the chat room) what type of host do you currently have? are you hosting a domain? and what ammount of actual rooms will you need to have?

chris<pixelmonkey>:monkey:At present I do not have a host or domain. Currently just developing offline.. I however need for an unlimited number of rooms, but for development just getting to clients to chat with the server would be acceptable...before developing from scratch, i would check into some host and find one that has chat rooms for each domain registration. i'm not 100% sure if the big resources network offers this (check with them!) but one company i use is communitech.net and they have something similar to what you need.
