[Communicator-user] GUI java server

[Gies B. <G.B...@le...>]

Dear fellow-developers,

Within an educational project at our department at the University of Nijmegen, I am
trying to write a GUI server in Java. The application should be able present a simple
form with just two elements: a prompt text and an input textfield. The application makes
a connection to a hub; as soon as a sentence has been entered, a message must be send to
a parser. Additionally, a language generator server must be able to send in a new prompt
text.

To me this demand looks quite basic. Yet, it has already been taking me a couple of days
to get this working and I'm still without success. An important question is: in what way
are the local server dispatch functions supposed to access the UI-elements? I tried using
the ServerUI class, but information how to use it (specifically the subclassComponent
field) is quite limited.

Does anybody have something similar lying around? Any tips? I will send my code so far on
request.

Thanks,
