This project aims to demonstrate the use of Java Socket and Threading to create a multi-threaded dictionary server, which allows multiple clients to concurrently search, add and delete words.
This project uses json-simple library to facilitate communication between server and client using JSON. The jar file can be downloaded from here.
Export DictionaryServer.java and DictionaryClient.java to jar files (DictionaryServer.jar and DictionaryClient.jar).
Run the server using the following command: $ java -jar DictionaryServer.jar <port> <dictionaryFilePath>
Run the client using the following command: $ java -jar DictionaryClient.jar <serverAddress> <port>
