The server process quits on completion of the 1st client request.

Currently the server is single-threaded.

We need to be able to accept multiple clients at once and process their requests in seperate threads rather than filling up the activation records in the main thread,

Tracking issue for:

• https://github.com/theadambyrne/thebigbangserver/security/code-scanning/1

Test all main pushes

Add a logging framework to handle recording interactions for debugging.

The current implementation has a Message object stream server-side but not client-side.
Refactoring the in/out from the server in the the Client class will allow better validation and a more clean architecture.

Note: It also might be worth piping these streams as then the project will be wrapped.

Resource

Enable clients to use commands in there input to make use of more potential features

Setup maven build to generate executables for deployment.

Use .jar for the moment, potentially .war for the future if deploying to production.

When a client quits, the server's buffered reader fails to read from the client as that thread/reader is not being joined/closed effectively.

Handle the error of address in use gracefully

The server dies but it still returns a response before.
It should die immediately

Create a command that executes a Server API to send a joke to all clients

Allow client to input text via standard input.
This text should be sent to the server and returned reversed.
