Client / Server Problem
Hi, i hope you all can settle this problem, i am stuck.
A program is required that enables a "client" to obtain availability information from a file on a network server. Many clients may be requesting this data at the same time (assume up to 4).
Assume that a text file is situated on the server. The text file contains a list of all the items stocked in a store (such as the Department's store) together with the quantity of each item held and a brief description for each type. The file can be updated at anytime and its format is for you to decide.
Clients should be able to send a request to obtain the quantity of a particular item held using a stores code (e.g. 03-106 or C-106). At the same time as giving the quantity, it should also return a brief description of the item requested (e.g. 1/4 W resistor 6.8 kS) and in addition the date and time when the file was last updated. If applicable, a suitable error message must be provided (e.g. if it is unavailable, while updating the file, or there are too many requests for information). The solution should use a GUI interface.
thanks in advance.
