Class LinkServerStarter

java.lang.Object
  com.bbn.openmap.layer.link.LinkServerStarter

Direct Known Subclasses:

ShapeServerStarter, TestServerStarter

public class LinkServerStarter
extends java.lang.Object

The LinkServerStarter is the object that listens for Link clients on a specific port. If a Link client contacts it, it uses the startNewServer method to create a LinkServer to serve the client on it's own thread. If you want to create a new type of LinkServer, you should also create a new LinkServerStarter to launch it properly. Generally, the main() and startNewServer() methods are the only thing you would need to modify.
