== Comments and Javadoc ==

There are a number of comments in the code below, primarily added as an explanation of the code, but also added as an illustration of comments and how Javadoc can be seen in the NetBeans IDE.

The following files need to be created, as they are not present in the marauroa source file.
The following files are required to extend the Marauroa engine functionality.


=== Client.java ===
== Test.java ==

This file was created when you created the new Project. Add the following (or replace the existing) code. This is the a simple flow to test the client and server code works to give basic communication. Some simple comments are included.

<source lang="Java">
/*
* Test class for Marauroa Chat Tutorial
* - see http://stendhalgame.org/wiki/Marauroa_Chat_Tutorial
*/

package client;

import marauroa.common.Log4J;
import marauroa.common.game.RPObject;

/**
* Run the client to communicate with the server
*/
public class Test {
@SuppressWarnings("SleepWhileInLoop")

private static marauroa.common.Logger logger = Log4J.getLogger(Test.class);

public static void main(String[] args) {

// flag: false to stop client
boolean cond = true;

// create the Client to handle communications
Client my = Client.get();

try {
my.connect("localhost", 5555);

// create new account if 3rd parameter is present (email address)
if (args.length == 3) {
my.createAccount(args[0], args[1], args[2]);
}

// do log in
my.login(args[0], args[1]);
if (my.getAvailableCharacters().length == 0) {
RPObject character = new RPObject();
my.createCharacter(args[0], character);
}
my.chooseCharacter(args[0]);
} catch (Exception e) {
cond = false;
logger.info("Login failure: " + e);
}

// connection loop (no user interaction)
int i = 0;
while (cond) {
++i;

// get and apply messages
my.loop(0);

if (i % 100 == 50) {
my.sendMessage("test" + i);
}

String s = my.popQuote();
while (s != null) {
System.out.println(s);
s = my.popQuote();
}

try {
Thread.sleep(100);
} catch (InterruptedException e) {
cond = false;
}
}
}
}
</source>

Close and Save the file. Note how NetBeans shows an error because it does not recognise the Client class.

== Adding Logging to the Client ==

To trace errors, or to monitor which parts of a program are executed, message (log) statements can be inserted in the code, as in Test.java (above). The log4j library provides a flexible and configurable way to do this. See [[Logging in Marauroa | how this is done]] in Marauroa.

=== The logging configuration file ===

To specify the logging output right-click on the '''client''' package and add a new '''Empty File'''. Give the '''File Name''' as '''log4j_client.properties'''. Add the following lines to that file:

<pre>
# Set root logging level to INFO, and create two output configurations
log4j.rootLogger=INFO, Console, File

# Paste all log entries to the console
log4j.appender.Console=org.apache.log4j.ConsoleAppender
log4j.appender.Console.layout=org.apache.log4j.PatternLayout
log4j.appender.Console.layout.ConversionPattern=%d{ISO8601} [%t] %-5p %c - %m%n

# Paste all log entries to a daily log file
log4j.appender.File=org.apache.log4j.DailyRollingFileAppender
log4j.appender.File.File=log/client.log
log4j.appender.File.layout=org.apache.log4j.PatternLayout
log4j.appender.File.layout.ConversionPattern=%d{ISO8601} [%t] %-5p %c - %m%n

# Set priority to warning messages and above, disabling debug and info messages
log4j.logger.marauroa.client=WARN

</pre>

Close and Save the file.

== Adding the log4j library ==

Although this does not create a compile error it will create an error when you run the Text Client.

Copy the '''log4j.jar''' file from the downloaded source files to the '''libs''' directory (created above). Right click the '''Libraries''' branch of the server Project tree, and select '''Add Jar/Folder'''. Browse to the the libs directory for this project and select the log4j.jar file.

== Client.java ==

This file extends the Marauroa ClientFramework class, to provide methods that give the required responses when these actions are carried out.


Right-click on the '''client''' package and add a new '''Java Class'''. Give the '''Class Name''' as '''Client'''. Replace the template code with the following code:

== Adding Logging to the Client ==
= Build the Project =

To trace errors, or to monitor what parts of a program are executed, message statements can be inserted in the code. The log4j library provides a flexible and configurable way to do this. See [[Logging in Marauroa | how this is done]] in Marauroa.

=== The logging configuration file ===

To specify the logging output right-click on the '''client''' package and add a new '''Empty File'''. Give the '''File Name''' as '''log4j_client.properties'''. Add the following lines to that file:

<pre>
# Set root logger level to INFO, and create two output configurations
log4j.rootLogger=INFO, Console, File

# Paste all log entries to the console
log4j.appender.Console=org.apache.log4j.ConsoleAppender
log4j.appender.Console.layout=org.apache.log4j.PatternLayout
log4j.appender.Console.layout.ConversionPattern=%d{ISO8601} [%t] %-5p %c - %m%n

# Paste all log entries to a daily log file
log4j.appender.File=org.apache.log4j.DailyRollingFileAppender
log4j.appender.File.File=log/client.log
log4j.appender.File.layout=org.apache.log4j.PatternLayout
log4j.appender.File.layout.ConversionPattern=%d{ISO8601} [%t] %-5p %c - %m%n

# Disabled debug messages... to avoid too many logs

</pre>

Close and Save the file.

=== Adding the log4j library ===

Although this does not create a compile error it will create an error when you run the Text Client.

Copy the '''log4j.jar''' file from the downloaded source files to the '''libs''' directory (created above). Right click the '''Libraries''' branch of the server Project tree, and select '''Add Jar/Folder'''. Browse to the the libs directory for this project and select the log4j.jar file.

== Build the Project ==


Finally, select '''Run''', '''Build Main Project''' from the NetBeans menu bar. This will create '''client.jar''' in the '''dist''' directory, and copy the jar files from the libs directory to the '''lib''' sub-directory of dist.
