Finger is an aglet-based implementation of the more well known "finger" application in Unix. It consists of two aglets, one of them is stationary (Finger) and the other mobile (FingerSlave). The latter is dispatched by Finger to a remote location where it will retrieve local user information. Having gathered the information, FingerSlave returns to Finger and delivers the information.
To be written.
Run at least two aglet servers in your network (read here how to run an aglet server).
Use the "new aglet" panel of Tahiti to create your Finger aglet by specifying its class name: "samples.patterns.Finger"(read Tahiti User's Guide for more information about aglet creation). When Finger is created, its dialog window is displayed:
atp://aglets.trl.ibm.com
or, if your aglet server is running on a port other than the default one (434):
atp://aglets.trl.ibm.com:500
In order to update the AddressBook, click once to display its panel. Then, either select an address and remove it (via the delete button) or add the current address in the "Address" field (via the add button). Click on the close button to hide the AddressBook panel.
The following type of information will be received and displayed in the center of the dialog window (see an example in the dialog window shown above).
