This example is a simple instant messaging implementation. There are multiple
|
|
participants in the chat, both sending and reading messages. The sending
|
|
application 'prompt' is separated from the application displaying the chat
|
|
'display' so that there's no need for sophisticated GUI.
|
|
|
|
To run the example you'll need both applications plus the 'forwarder' device
|
|
that will play role of messaging server (chatroom). Build it this way:
|
|
|
|
$ ./autogen.sh
|
|
$ ./configure --with-chat --with-forwarder
|
|
$ make
|
|
$ sudo make install
|
|
|
|
Once it is built create the configuration file (say config.xml) for the
|
|
forwarder describing which network endpoints are to be used for incoming and
|
|
outgoing messages:
|
|
|
|
<forwarder>
|
|
<in>
|
|
<bind addr = "tcp://eth0:5555"/>
|
|
</in>
|
|
<out>
|
|
<bind addr = "tcp://eth0:5556"/>
|
|
</out>
|
|
</forwarder>
|
|
|
|
You are of course free to define mutliple endpoints for either incoming or
|
|
outgoing messages.
|
|
|
|
Now start the forwarder:
|
|
|
|
$ zmq_forwarder ./config.xml
|
|
|
|
At this point the messaging server is ready to accept connections from
|
|
messaging clients. When starting the sending application, specify your name
|
|
so that messages can be attributed to you:
|
|
|
|
$ ./prompt tcp://myserver:5555 "John Doe"
|
|
|
|
$ ./display tcp://myserver:5556
|
|
|
