Open Lab Exercises, Class 6

• We should cover threads and sockets this class.  We will have a little time for open lab at the end, but probably not as much as usual.  Depending on the time, these are the exercises we may do:
• Threads:
• Use your Programming Assignment 1.  Save the ExpireDate as a Date field, and set it automatically to fifteen seconds after the Widget was entered.  Then, have a thread go through your program and remove expired Widgets from the JList.  This would require a significant amount of time, so this is the least likely lab.  We'll see how much time remains at the end of class.
• Networking:
• Try the exercises in red on slide 7702.  We'll almost definitely do this.
• Work with a partner to develop a client/server app like the one on slide 7704.  One person should develop the client, the other the server.  Use ping to find the address of the server.
