The goal of this work is to detect as many error conditions as possible while making the server and client processes as robust as is reasonable. This should be the last of the IPC classes and is a study in exception handling. On vacation one day. Now working on testing and documenting these classes. To date almost all features have been tested.
Clients can send messages to servers and get responses.
This allows a VMS application to create an IPC message that is compatible with the Java classes with complete message data. The message only supports strings and arrays of strings as message contents, but that is all we need. The class also supports reading and writing these messages to files. The generic server would save the IPC requests in a queue and spawn a thread for each request. As a first test, this class will be implemented and applied to the NSA configuration server.
