Chat Applet Communicating with a Servlet

September 11th, 2006

When coding a Chat application in Java that should be available on the Web a good choice is to have an applet communicating with a servlet.

Although sockets can be used, a better alternative is to use a high-level connection with HTTP. This will work even for applets running behind firewalls since most firewalls allow HTTP connections. The applets are simply used as browsers sending messages with the POST method and retrieving messages with the GET method.
Because HTTP is a unidirectional protocol, and a chat user of course should be able to see incoming messages at once, bidirectional communication has to be simulated. This is done by having the applets continuously poll for new messages. There will be some overhead of course, but unlike more common CGI programs a servlet no longer has to wait as the server launches a CGI program to handle each of its repeated requests.

Here is a description of a Chat Applet / Servlet application I’ve created which I modestly named: Magnificent Chat: Applet/Servlet Communication.
At the bottom of the description page you can download the .java files and try out a working example.

Just got the chat up and running in my lan. Works great! Planning on redoing your PrivateDialog class to implement the behavior of chat rooms. I might be sending a few mails if I get stuck, if it’s ok?

Had some thoughs on implementing chat rooms myself, but I haven’t got the time…yet.

Sure, send me a message if you get stuck. Either use my contact page or send me a mail. Good luck.

Think I will follow Jdog and try to some code changes to implement chat rooms that allow for more than 2 users. Maybe a admin page too, to be able to do some changes at a higher level.

Been looking for free Java Chat code to use for a client project, but without any luck so far. I’ll let u know how it goes…

Hey guys I had an old laptop running XP Pro. A couple of weeks ago, every time I would connect to the internet via DSL or wireless, the hard drive light would come on - as if it were writing something to the hard drive. It would cause IE to run slower than dial-up. I looked in task manager and although the CPU usage was high, there didn’t seem to be a process listed that was using it. I used LavaSoft Adaware to scan on a regular basis as well as Norton 2005. I eventually gave up and bought a new laptop (Vista Home), which now has the same problem. It is obviously related to something that I copied over to the new computer from the old computer. But the things is, Norton Internet security isn’t picking up a virus. I used it to scan everything before copying it on to the new computer. Has anyone heard of such a thing or had the same problem? I’d much rather be able to find and remove the problem rather than restore.

Thanks!

Lindsay Price is seen here in between takes on the set of Lipstick Jungle on location in New York City. Lindsay plays the role of an up and coming, albeit struggling, fashion designer in New York City, and she always seems to have style and wardrobe that is iconic to the struggling designer quirky yet trendy. She is playing up this quirkiness with a look that is very reminiscent of Carrie Bradshaw s flower year in Sex and the City and Lindsay has had her hair styles in a mess of curls and festooned with a bright flower. The curls in this look are achieved with small sized rollers, and then finished with a very narrow curling iron. You will want to ensure that you have a healthy amount of mousse or curling serum in your hair before you attempt this look. Keep your rollers in for at least 30 minutes, and remember to use your smallest sizes if you want curls as tight as Lindsay. When you take your rollers out, create a side part, and finger comb out your curls. Clip a barette or pretty flower to the side f
or a fun and flirty summer look. If you need to neaten up your curls at all, do so with the narrow curling iron to freshen up your bouncy curls.
