I cannot seem to find the code for the StreamProducer class. Is it called something
else or just missing. I have also looked in the source code that I downloaded.

Whiteboard Applet example using message passing |
I have tried to run the example shown in Appendix A of the book without much
success. I am able to run the Mediator fine and even several Whiteboard
users (MsgWhiteboardUsers). However, the scribbles drawn on one whiteboard
do not show up in other whiteboards that are running simutaneously.
I am also getting the following error from the MessageHandler class in the
readMsg() method.
mm: Error reading message:
java.io.UTFDataFormatException
at java.io.DataInputStream.readUTF(Unknown Source)
at java.io.DataInputStream.readUTF(Unknown Source)
at MessageHandler.readMsg(MessageHandler.java:120)
at AgentHandler.run(MessageHandler.java:39)
at java.lang.Thread.run(Unknown Source)
THis error seems to be inconsistent and will occur randomly.
I also get a NullPointerException being thrown from the Message class in the
writeArgs() method.
