Web Service-based Java P2P File Sharing Application

1. The Web service resides at the JBoss application server.
If you wish to use JBoss WS or an application other than the JBoss application, you
need to get approval from your tutor.
2. The Web service has database connection ability.
You need to discuss with your tutor which database management system your program
is going to use.
You need to provide your tutor with the relevant database files or SQL Database
Definition Language to help your tutor establish the database to test your TME.
3. The user can run the client program at his/her computer (which may be different from the
computer on which the JBoss application server is running).
When your tutor tests the TME, s/he may use Eclipse’s Web Services Explorer and one
client to test the file-sharing function.
When your tutor tests the TME, s/he may run two or more clients and test the filesharing function among clients.
4. The user can choose which files s/he wants to share with other users.
The client program then registers the files via the Web service.
The user can remove the files that s/he no longer wants to share with others. If the user
does this, the client program will update the sharing status for the file in the database

Client: 1. The user can search the file name that s/he wants to download from other users.
The client program then searches the database by consuming the Web service.
If the client program finds that anyone is sharing the file, the client program shows the
file name to the user without revealing who owns the file.
If the client program finds that no one is sharing the file, the client program shows “no
match result” to the user.
2. If someone is sharing the file that the user wants to download, the user can click on the file name
and download it to his/her computer. When the user starts the download,
the client program first retrieves the information about who owns the file by consuming
the Web service.
the client program (i.e., client-A) then builds a socket connection with the other client
program (i.e., client-B), which means the client program is a socket server application
as well as a socket client application.
client-A then tells client-B which file it wants to have.
client-B sends the file to client-A via a socket
