Distributed Systems Project 2024

Group A18

(choose one of the following levels and erase the other one)
Difficulty level: I am Death incarnate!

In all source files (namely in the groupIds of the POMs), replace GXX with your group identifier. The group identifier consists of either A or T followed by the group number - always two digits. This change is important for code dependency management, to ensure your code runs using the correct components and not someone else's.

The overall system is made up of several modules. The different types of servers are located in ServerX (where X denotes stage 1, 2 or 3). The clients is in Client. The definition of messages and services is in Contract. The future naming server is in NamingServer.

See the Project Statement for a complete domain and system description.

The Project is configured with Java 17 (which is only compatible with Maven >= 3.8), but if you want to use Java 11 you can too -- just downgrade the version in the POMs.

To confirm that you have them installed and which versions they are, run in the terminal:

javac -version
mvn -version

To compile and install all modules:

mvn clean install

Go to the Contract directory and run the following command:

mvn exec:exec

Then, go to the NameServer directory and run the following command:

python3 server.py

Then, go to the ServerR1 directory and run the following command:

mvn compile exec:java

Then, go to the Client directory and run the following command:

mvn compile exec:java

To debug the NameServer, run the following command:

python3 server.py -debug

To debug the Client and ServerR1, run the following command:

mvn compile exec:java -Ddebug
