the Sellitem(item,Quantity) method
The client can invoke
Buyitem which looks like this:
public buyitem(item,quantity){
if (balance > quantity * item){
//Ask seller's server to sell
sellitem(item,quantity)
balance = balance - quantity * seller.Getprice();
}
the sellitem method looks like
public sellitem(item,quantity){
balance = balance + Quantity * price
}
I need to make sure that the variable balance, quantity, etc on the server are synchronized with the correct calls.
There can be multiple servers: each managing their own balance and quantity
there exists the same number of clients as servers and the clients calls only the buyitem method which is directed towards the correct server who will sell his item.
therefore if I have 3 client/servers, 2 clients can invoke the buy method on the 3rd server.
I hope this makes it a bit clearer.
