Instructor connection closes #11

Open KBKrause opened 7 years ago

KBKrause commented 7 years ago

commit 83f15d6f8fac115fc594af98dbabb357d7cca70c Client must account for instructor connection closing prematurely.

 public boolean sendString(String data)
    {
        try
        {
            String request = data;

            // Create a socket using the serverIP configured to this client's proxy.
            Socket clientSocket = new Socket(serverIP, serverPort);

            DataOutputStream outToServer = new DataOutputStream(clientSocket.getOutputStream());
            BufferedReader inFromServer = new BufferedReader(new InputStreamReader(clientSocket.getInputStream()));      

            // writeBytes() takes the string and a newline character to signify when there are no more characters coming.
            outToServer.writeBytes(request + "\n");

            // readLine() is a blocking call that is waiting for an ack from the server.
            String responseFromServer = inFromServer.readLine();

            //System.out.println("Received response: " + responseFromServer);

            clientSocket.close();

            return true;
        }
        catch(IOException e)
        {
            System.out.println("ERROR: Failed to connect to: " + serverIP + ":" + serverPort);
            e.printStackTrace();
            return false;
        }
    }

Exception is first thrown in GUIProxy.

 @Override
    public void update(String theUpdate) throws ConnectionFailedException
    {
        if (connToIns.sendString(theUpdate) == false)
        {
            throw new ConnectionFailedException();
        }
    }

This function is called by GUI when it is notifying all of its observers.

@Override
    public void notifyObservers(String updateText)
    {
        for (InstructorObserver io : observers)
        {
            try
            {
                io.update(updateText);
            }
            catch(ChemberryException ex)
            {
                ex.printStackTrace();
            }
        }
    }

So I think the exception handling should happen in GUI.

Exception handling will happen in GUI. Main thread of execution listens for signal from instructor. Signal failing to arrive will come later. GUI will use a listening proxy.

public class GUIListeningProxy extends ServerProxy
{

}

handleRequest will only listen for the "d:esync" token.
