A Distributed System following the Publisher - Subscriber pattern. The project also includes an Application that acts as a client, sending and receiving messages, and a local file system for persistence.
The System is initialized with N servers (possibly in different machines) which can be connected to K clients. The clients can then send text, images and videos to various Topics (conversations). The servers automatically distribute the process load among themselves.
Execute build.bat or compile every .java file in the src directory
Execute run_server.bat with no arguments or run java --class-path bin app.Server.
Secondary servers connect to the main server and are dynamically allocated Topics which they are responsible for managing.
Run run_server.bat <ip> <broker_port> or run java --class-path bin app.Server <ip> <broker_port>, where:
ipandbroker_portof the main server. These will be printed to the main server's console when it's initialized.
Open the project in Android Studio and execute it. There's no limit to how many clients
