Re: [Beepcore-java-users] Simple Question

Hi Bill,
      Thanks for the quick response, I really appreciate it.  I'm not sure if
you completely understood what I meant about the seperate profiles.  If both
a client app and a server app created channels based on profile X, would it
be bad if each app had a serarate version of profile X that had specific code
in it to deal with either a client app or a server app?  Perhaps that was
your original interpretation of my last e-mail?
      Also, concerning the message notification.  I've been going through the
API documenation for a few days now and couldn't find anything that would
allow the profile to notify the main application when a message is received.
Is there something in the API that will allow me to do this that I have
overlooked?

Thanks again for your time and consideration.
