What Project To Do?

Hi,

I need to do a client-server project that involves TCP/IP and XML. I want to
make it a meaningful project. My friends suggested doing a project on Web
Service. What kind of web services should I do? Any suggestions?

Thanks in advance,
Yong

For what purpose? Is this a class assignment? The problem with using
meaningful projects for such an assignment is that "meaningful " often
involves so much overhead that you would need several people for the whole
semester working on it.

Web services is a general term used in the computing industry. The idea is
that you have essentially a Web server sitting somewhere. But instead of a
browser connecting to that server, an application connects and sends an
XML file. One example is online banking from applications such as Quicken
or Microsoft Money.

What you could do to make your project at least somewhat meaningful is
write game scorekeeper application. The client would be a game that would
send the score to the server every time the user completes a round, or
something like that. You would of course be using XML to send the score
(since that is a requirement for the project).

To complete a project module (requires at least 120 hours of programming).

I think having a gaming application can take more time to program and divert
the focus of my project, TCP/IP and XML. Hehe.
Thanks for your suggestion which I will keep in mind :)

Came across a post several weeks or months ago from somebody a lot like
you looking for a way to start to learn about networking in Java as well
as J2EE, and web services. My response to you will probably be the same
as what I sent to him. Discard it if you're not looking for an approach
to learning different technologies and the tradeoffs between them. I have completed the modules on Java, EJB, and will be completing the Web
Services module soon. I am comfortable using RMI, Socket and EJB, etc.
Actually, it's for a project module.
The last step is to download the web services toolkit from Sun. In it
you'll find JAX-RPC and JAXM implementations . Locate a tool (there are a
couple good ones out there) that'll allow you to produce a WSDL file that
describes the operations your Accounting and ComputerHelpDes k beans
provide. Install the WSDL onto a webserver, and configure a SOAP server
inside your JBoss application server to dispatch requests to your two
beans. Apache Axis can do this for you. Now go back, and use your WSDL
tool to generate a Java client stub. Include the source code into your
client's build environment, fire up JBoss, and execute your client.
Congratulations you're now using "web services" - isn't that exciting?

Thanks, you have set me thinking for a while. This will be where I will
start! Web Services!

Regards,
Yong

Hi Can somebody please tell me what namespaces are actually for? I notice that when I start a new project in C#, it puts everything in a namespace of the same name as the project.

This I find a bit of a PITA. I used VB.NET for a bit and found it didn't have...

I'm trying to figure out what the "Friend" keyword does. I know it specifies that "elements are accessible from within the same assembly", but that doesn't help because I don't know what an assembly is. I know what a project is, and I know what a solution is, but "assembly" isn't defined in the help file anywhere. Can anyone provide a simple definition?

I've done this a few times. In a solution I have a project, Say P1, and need another project that will contain much code that is similar to that of P1. I hope no one gets hung up on why I don't somehow share the code. So, I copy the folder P1 is in, change the new folder name, and is VS2005 to change all occurrences of P1's name tp P2's name.

I found a *.sln and an *.suo file which belong to my current project because the have the same name "TestDatabase33....." as my project. What is the purpose of these files ? If I delete them accidentially: Are they re-created automatically ? Why are they currently not in the project folder (where the *.csproj file is) but in the parant folder ? Can I simply move them to the project folder ?
