Anyone know how to program JAVA? (PBW RTC)

Ruatha · #1 May 8th, 2004, 05:30 PM

Anyone has more specifics on the PBW RTC?

I only have some info on the ports.
I'll need:
What to send to the PBW server, in which form?
What do I get back?

I program in Delphi and would need this info for a on-going project.

I've tried viewing the RTC JAR archive in a hex editor and notepad, but that didn't make me much wiser.
I've never done any substantial Java programming, so is there someway to see the JAR file in a way that makes some sense, i e what it does??

(I'll be away a week so you have a week to reply to this post).

Not sure how it works but you should know that if PBW goes down while you're using it, poof!

That shouldn't be too hard to program against.

Edit: It seems it could be opened by any archive program, duh...

Still, any help on the mechanics is appreciated.
Will delve into the files now.

Edit2: Hmm, these files won't help me much it seems, I knows to little Java to get any reasonable info out of viewing them in notepad.

If you have the source files, I could look them over and comment-ify them to what I think the code is doing. I'm reasonably experienced in Java...

Actual code though. I won't be able to do anything with bytecode.

Great.
It can be found in the File sections on the PBW server in official PBW server files, the RTC.
It's not byte files I belive.

(As I said, I'm going away tomorrow, will be grateful for all help I'll get , will check this post in a week!)

Still need this info....

Will · #7 May 15th, 2004, 07:47 AM

Just got around to it. The files in the .jar file are bytecode, so there isn't much I can do. (*.java files are source, *.class are compiled bytecode).

Sorry

Ok, thanks for the try though.
Will find another way.
