MULTITHREADED MEDIA SHARING APP USING JAVA

What is the project about?

This was an exercise of the university to fully understand and implement concurrent applications. The application is like a torrenting platform, in the sense that there is a central server that allows different clients to connect using a central server and then share files using a point-to-point connection between them.

Aplication architecture:

  • There is a central server that can handle multiple clients using a multithreaded system.
  • Clients connect to it, so that they can ask for files to other clients. When a client wants a file, the central server will help him find who has that file and then both clients (with a client-server architecture) will connect and send/receive files.

Programming language:

  • The programming language is JAVA
  • Some key features of the code construction:
    • Socket & ServerSocket to handle server-client connection
    • Multithreading extending the Thread class
    • Concurrency handled by locks
