Primary goal of xfer is to enable applications to exchange objects via text-data streams. For that we have to serialize and de-serialize generic objects to and from text-data. To exchange objects with non-java applications their classes are defined in a describing xml-file. From that file the tool xgencode generates corresponding classes for java and C/C++ programming languages.
The constructor creates a connection to a xfer server. The caller has to add a listener (XferListener ) to receive objects send by the xfer server.
See Xfer for further API information...
