Can your server act as if it were a client? If so I don't see any problems.

kind regards,

server only passing the clients message from 1 client to another simultaneously....

it depends on the implementation. a server can also broadcast a message to all connected clients.

[init]

i want to braodcast message to clients connected to another server of same kind..how to do that?

the pseudo-code sound like:

1) when a client connect to the server then the server register this connections in a thread-collection and creates a new thread to handle that connection
2) when a client send a message to the server, the server add the username + " says: " + message to the string message and then loops through his threads-collection and for each client he executes a client[x].send(message);

if you want to broadcast clients connected to another server then you need a reference to the collection of all clients from the other server.

ya..i got what u r saying!!! that means that the another server will deal the first server as a client!!

sure, if the "other" server is able to broadcast you can connect as a client and when you send a message to the "other" server all connected clients to the "other" server should receive your message. so you don't need to know anything about the client-collection on the "other" server.

thanx ..
implementation wise ..how to do that(how server can act as client)??now what i am doing..i create a thread if any client request comes.
