NetPanel

public abstract class NetPanel extends JPanel implements Runnable
Displays one machines status. Part of the NetWatch program: watch the network on a bunch of machines (i.e., in a classroom or lab).

Each non-abstract subclass just needs to implement run(), which must, in a while (!done) loop:

  • Try to contact the host
  • call setState(); (argument below)
  • call ta.setText();
  • Thread.sleep(sleepTime * MSEC);

The argument to setState() must be one of:

  • FINE == Server has "expect"ed name registered.
  • DUBIOUS == Server does not have expected name registered.
  • EMPTY == Server has nothing registered.
  • NOREG == host is up but not running RMI
  • DOWN == host unreachable, not responding, ECONN, etc.
