I'm in need of a java s based chat server with multi user capability. The server must be simple and easily configured for use with flash MX. The server must have a front end admin interface. The chat client communicating with the server will be done in flash MX using the builtin XMLsocket object for the connect. data passed between server & client must be in XML format. The server must be passive in that it only broadcasts messages, and an updateable user list. Private chat between clients will be a feature explored depending on ease of implementation. The whole goal of the project is to create an efficient & scalable chat server.
## Deliverables
1) Complete and fully-functional working program(s) in executable form as well as complete source code of all work done. 2) Installation package that will install the software (in ready-to-run condition) on the platform(s) specified in this bid request. 3) Complete ownership and distribution copyrights to all work purchased.
## Platform
application will run on a WIN NT box with a java run time environment. A console only version is required as well as graphical interface for admins.
## Deadline information
Alterations may be required during development time to ensure easy communication between flash MX and server.
