Q: |
Page 5, last sentence states: "Update the cache according to setData() calls as they go out." But page 7 last paragraph talks about "The TMClient will receive messages from the TMServer on the XObject. It should a) throw out parts of the cache if necessary (especially for delete)". I don't get what the right interpretation should be. |
A: |
The first sentence is meant to coraborate the second. So have all of the setValue's trigger update events, which will hit the clients. The clients which have the appropriate data in their caches should know to purge the values. |
Q: |
Help! I can't get clients on other machines to work well from my terminal! |
A: |
Many students have noticed that using ssh to set up other clients in Sweet Hall doesn't seem to sit well with Java. Mostly, the display won't work. Use telnet instead, that seems to be working. Make sure you set the DISPLAY variable correctly (use "setenv DISPLAY host:0" where host is your machine (elaine4, etc.)) and then on your host machine run "xhost client" where client is the name of your client machine. |
