Message.java ServerGUI.java ClientGUI.java Server.java Client.java

Class => Message.java

This classes represents the message format that is exchanged between the server and the client.Which acts as the protocol for messaging on the either side.

In this class we send a java object as a message, instead of making the Client/Server to typically count bytes and wait for a line-feed, indicating the end of frame.

Note: The Objects sent of the sockets need to be Serializable.
