Program Assignment

This is a group project. Each group (that has already been created) will have one submission (individual members do not need to submit separately). Inter-process communication using connection-oriented sockets:

Write a Group Chat Application using Java to illustrate IPC between multiple processes.

Program requirements: Use Connection-oriented (TCP) sockets in Java [you may use the example codes supplied on BlazeVIEW as reference] to implement communication between two or more processes. The communication will start with two processes exchanging messages. New processes can join (or, existing processes may leave) at any time. Each of the processes is identified by a name that is entered by the user after a prompt [after initiating the process, a prompt can read like "Enter your name:"]. Once joined in the group conversation, all of the existing processes should see a message like " has joined the group" [ indicates the name specified by the user upon initiation of that process]. Similar message should be displayed when a process leaves the conversation (terminate). During conversation, if a process enters a message, it is displayed by default on all other processes (group message).If a process specifies to send the message to another specific process (personal message), the process must have some way to indicate (or, choose) the target process for PM.
