CollabCalc
Small school project about using Java's Reflection to send an object over a network (TCP) to a server that will execute a chosen method and reply with the result.
A use case would be if the client has a bad hardware and would need a more powerful server to run expensive computations.
Implementation
CollabRequest
Each object and methods calls are encapsulated in a Serializable CollabRequest object, that contains the object with the name of the method to execute and its parameters.
It has a run() method that invoke the methods and encapsulate the result in a CollabResponse object.
CollabResponse
Encapsulate the result of the CollabRequest execution. If there was an error during the execution it's included in CollabResponse.
Client & Server
The project includes a basic server that waits for CollabRequest, execute them and send back a CollabResponse.
There's a basic Client where the user can choose between different test methods from a basic Calc class to perform CollabRequest to the server.
There's also an AutoClient that automatically send some pre-determined CollabRequest to the server, meant to show different use cases.
