MessageClient.MessageClient Class Reference
Detailed Description
MessageClient is a specialized version of the client class which knows how to send and receive messages from the MessageServer.
All messages received on the socket (from the server) are queued on to the local message queue.
On connection, we expect an initial NEW_CLIENT_ID message from the server. Upon both connect and disconnect we send out local CLIENT_CONNECTION_STATUS messages.
