[Beepcore-java-users] Simple Question

[Michael J. R. <mjr...@ea...>]

Hi,
      I'm doing undergraduate research at Temple University and have a simple 
question or two regarding message data from the receiveMSG method.  In the 
example EchoProfile, when the channel receives a message the Echo Profile 
simply sends the same message back through the channel.  However, what if, 
for example, the Beepd program wanted to know when the channel receives a 
message?  How can the echo profile notify the Beepd program that a message 
was received AND, if needed, allow the Beepd program to see the new message?
A second question: should a particular profile be implementation specific?  
In other words, as long as the profile acts according to the Internet Drafts, 
etc, does it really matter if there is code that pertains to a client app, or 
a server app, or MY application that uses the profile?  Can there be separate 
version of a profile, maybe one for clients to use and one for servers to 
use, but both version act according to the internet drafts?
      Thanks for your time and consideration, I really appreciate any help or 
suggestions you may have.  Sorry in advance if I misunderstood any "key" 
concepts or API functionality.
