Callback in Instant Messenger

843793May 8 2004 — edited May 10 2004
Hello everyone.

I want to implement an Instant Messenger usin RMI. My problem is how can the IMServer initiate a communication with a Client (for example for sending him a message that came from another client).

I read on o topic the following:

"Call back is fairly standard way to handle event notification. If you assume a typical pair of client and server processes, and you want them to work asynchronously, the you need some way for the server process to notify the client process of its status."

How can I implement this or something else that would solve my problem?

Thank you
Regards
