Constructor Detail

ChatListener

public ChatListener()

Creates a new ChatListener

Method Detail

setSocket

public void setSocket(Socket socket)

Sets the socket on which this ChatListener listens

run

public void run()

Sit in a loop and wait for messages to come in. Unfortunately, calling the constructor of ObjectInputStream blocks. So, we have to encode a "STOP" command in the final message. Awful.

Specified by:

run in interface Runnable

getMessages

public List getMessages()

Returns all incoming messages. This method will be called by a thread other than the one running run().
