[Tjukebox-general] How should the socket get the catalog from the jukebox

[Kevin N. <bea...@ya...>]

I have a varsion of the server which will send a full
catalog to a client.  The way it is currently
implemented, each ServerSocket instance recatalogs the
filesystem and sends the resulting catalog.  It would
be nicer if it could request a copy of the catalog
from the jukebox.  This would be useful if new files
were added to the filesystem, but the jukebox has not
been reindexed, or if the configure file was changed
since the jukebox was started. My understanding is a
SocketListener creates a new ServerSocket when a
connection is established.  How would you suggest I
set it up so the ServerSocket can get the catalog.  Is
there a good way to set up a static pointer to the
Jukebox...should I make the Catalog a static object in
the Jukebox?  Let me know your ideas.

Did your Design Patterns book have anything you'd like
to implement in Tjukebox?

Kevin
