Introduction

This library provides an easy way for communication with the HAMcast middleware in Java. It provides two ways for communication. On one hand, it is possible to create an multicast socket object which handles operations which needs additional information about groups to join oder data to receive or to send. The class for this case is MulticastSocket. On the other hand there are static utilitymethods in the class HamcastUtility which offer more general information.

Installation

Download the Java library and add it to your build path.
