Class ServerLauncher

java.lang.Object
it.polimi.ingsw.gc14.ServerLauncher
public class ServerLauncher extends Object
Main server entry point.

Responsibilities of this class are intentionally limited to wiring: it creates all components, connects them together, restores a previously saved game if one exists, and starts the event-processing loop and the network servers.

All game-logic and event-routing decisions are delegated to GameEventProcessor; persistence is delegated to SaveManager.

The original ServerLauncher class is preserved and untouched. This class is a clean replacement that uses the new component structure.

  • Field Details

    • eventProcessor

      private final GameEventProcessor eventProcessor
      Drives the main game-event loop.

  • Constructor Details

    • ServerLauncher

      public ServerLauncher(BlockingQueue<NetworkEvent> actionQueue, GameController gameController, LimitedMap<String,Boolean> playerList, CompositeClientBroadcaster broadcaster, SaveManager saveManager)
      Constructs a ServerLauncherTest and wires all components together.
      Parameters:
      actionQueue - the shared event queue.
      gameController - the server-side game controller.
      playerList - the shared player-status map.
      broadcaster - the broadcaster used to reach all connected clients.
      saveManager - the save manager used to persist game state.

  • Method Details

    • main

      static void main(String[] args) throws RemoteException
      Initializes all server components, wires them together, restores a saved game if available, and starts the event-processing loop and both network servers.
      Parameters:
      args - command-line arguments (unused).
      Throws:
      RemoteException - if the RMI server cannot be created.

    • run

      public void run()
      Runs the event-processing loop until the thread is interrupted.

      A ConcurrentModificationException is caught and logged rather

    • restoreGameIfSaved

      private static void restoreGameIfSaved(GameController gameController, LimitedMap<String,Boolean> playerList, SaveManager saveManager)
      Attempts to restore a previously saved game.

      The save is discarded if all but at most one player was offline at the time of the crash, since there would be nobody to resume the game with. Otherwise, the model is restored, the player-list limit is set, and each player who was offline at crash time is pre-populated as offline so the reconnection flow can handle them correctly.

      Parameters:
      gameController - the controller that will receive the restored model.
      playerList - the player-status map to populate.
      saveManager - the save manager to load from.

    • chooseNetworkInterface

      public static String chooseNetworkInterface(Scanner scanner) throws Exception
      Lists active non-loopback IPv4 network interfaces and prompts the operator to choose one. If only one interface is available it is selected automatically.
      Parameters:
      scanner - the scanner used to read the operator's choice.
      Returns:
      the IPv4 address of the selected interface.
      Throws:
      Exception - if no valid network interface is available.
