[CareerCup] 8.7 Chat Server 聊天服务器

 

8.7 Explain how you would design a chat server. In particular, provide details about the various backend components, classes, and methods. What would be the hardest problems to solve?

 

这个简易的聊天服务器功能十分的有限，毕竟只是针对面试题的，谁也无法在面试的有限时间内设计出像QQ那样强大的聊天工具，所以只是实现一些基本的功能即可，根据书上所述，包括如下功能：

1. 登陆和登出

2. 添加请求（发送，接受，和拒绝）

3. 更显一个状态消息

4. 建立私聊和群聊

5. 添加信息到私聊和群聊
