To run the server
    Copy 7400_Darkstar.jar from
    ...\7400_darkstar\darkstar\dist
    to
    ...\sgs-server-dist-0.9.9\sgs-server-dist-0.9.9\tutorial
    then open a Command Propt window and cd to the install area
    ...\sgs-server-dist-0.9.9\sgs-server-dist-0.9.9
    and use
        java -jar bin/sgs-boot.jar tutorial/conf/7400_Darkstar.boot
    to launch the server. This is based on all of the setups and conf files made so far.
To start the client,  run the 7400_Darkstar project from NetBeans. The Main is set to the Mud client.

Plan 3

Ok, Excercise 2. Launch Foxfire and Open File
    C:\DATA\GameDevelopment\DarkStarGameEngine\7400_darkstar\darkstar\index.html
and click on Exercise 2 tab to read what to do.
Opps..forgot to finish Exercise 1..need to fix up SimpleServer.java:receiveMessage() to respond with
"you can't do anything" message.
Use the code from MudClient.java:receiveMessage() to prepare the ByteBuffer message for use.

        byte[] msg = new byte[message.capacity()];

        /* Looks strange, but it does copy the message into the array. */

        message.get(msg);

Build, copy jar over, and test. Cool, now it responds with a "You can't do that" message.
This was Exercise 1:Step 5:Item 7.
Note: Use Step 6:Without the NetBean IDE to clear the server database if needed.
Step 7 can now be done over and over ... Exercise 1 IS now done. Read the Summary.

Exercise 2: Read through the entire exercise first.
Hmm..may have to tweak the MudMain.java code to get this to work since it uses all those byte[] for messages.
Also need to make new .boot and .properties files for running MudMain.
Peeking ahead..seems the MudMain server uses MudUser class ( see loggedIn() ) as the ClientSessionListener to implement the receivedMessage() interface..but first, going to make the new files for running.
In the
    ...\sgs-server-dist-0.9.9\tutorial\conf
folder, modify 7400_Darkstar.properties file by changing
    com.sun.sgs.app.listener=com.sun.sgs.darkmud.SimpleServer
to
    # com.sun.sgs.app.listener=com.sun.sgs.darkmud.SimpleServer
    com.sun.sgs.app.listener=com.sun.sgs.darkmud.MudMain
and save. The # is for comments and if you want to run the basic server again, just have to uncomment the SimpleServer line and comment out the MudMain line.
Build and test, but I dont think this will fly yet. Still using
        java -jar bin/sgs-boot.jar tutorial/conf/7400_Darkstar.boot
to launch server, but now it will try to lauch MudMain instead of SimpleServer.
Hmm..still runs the SimpleServer..guess I need to deleted the db to clear the server.
DOH..need to delete the dsdb in
    ...\sgs-server-dist-0.9.9\tutorial\data\7400_Darkstar\dsdb
Yep..now ran the MudMain server..and up popped the ManagedObject not referenced error.
This is the session error..have to recode to use a ref and then use the .get() to retrieve the session.
Changing MudMain.java (reference code changes needed for SimpleServer.java)
Also, change the parameter session to ses, then make a new session and have the rest of the code us it.
    loggedIn()
        Using code from SimpleServer:SimpleListener()

        if (ses == null) {

            throw new NullPointerException("null session");

        }

        sessionRef = AppContext.getDataManager().createReference(ses);

        sessionName = ses.getName();

        to set up a ref for the session. Also add globals as private, but not final.
            ClientSession session = sessionRef.get();
Build and test to see how happy this made it...not very...seems com.sun.sgs.darkmud.core.MudUser is complaining.
Try commenting out code in MudMain:lookupUser() so it returns null all the time...clear, build, run
still error on ClientSession in MudUser...hmm..added SimpleServer:getSession() method in utility area to use it when a ClientSession is needed.
            ClientSession session = getSession();        Replaces previous change.
Use sessionName in lookupUser() call since it already exists.
            MudUser user = lookupUser(sessionName);
hmm..also chang the MudUser constructor call..this may be the problem spot.
            user = new MudUser(sessionName);
bah..putting a System.out.println() after lookupUser call to output sessionName.
ok..got the print out before the error...hmm...got to be in a MudUser method.
Move println to after new MudUser() call..print out before error..
Move to after AppContext. call..still comes out before error..
Move to after .setClientSession() call..nope
Move to after bcast.send() call..nope
Move after .joinChannel() call..nope
after sendToUser??..bah
Use "entered the game" message for output...hmm..prints game message..so not in this area???
Moved to MudUser:sendToUser()..bah
comment out MudMain: :user.sendToUser() call..bah
Ok..comment out all code after lookupUser()..which returns null...HAH..no sys error,
but Status set: Log in failed on client...
Uncomment the if-else block..hmm..logged in..no error..try entering text..MudUser.java:165 error
in receivedMessage..ReadOnlyBufferException...had this before..so use

        byte[] msg = new byte[message.capacity()];

        /* Looks strange, but it does copy the message into the array. */

        message.get(msg);

        String command = new String(msg).trim();

code in MudUser:receivedMessage()..woo hoo..fixed that part..now get a MudObject:301 ref error when text is entered..go back to commented out code to see if this was its problem.
Uncomment if user != null block...same old error
Comment code after user.setLoggedIn()..error
Comment out .setClientSession()...ah hah..Logged in..no errors.
NOTE: This ManagedObject / ManagedReference concept is confusing.
Going to recode MudUser to be sent a
    ManagedReference<ClientSession>
instead of a ClientSession and then have it "get" the session when needed, also copy getSession() method from MudMain.
Changed setClientSession() and everywhere that session is used add
    ClientSession session = getSession();
Change disconnected() to null out sessionRef
Uncomment out setClientSession() and pass sessionRef instead of session.
Logged in..no errors..uncomment out the rest of the if block...woo hoo..Logged in and
get the Welcome to the DarkMUD message!!!
Uncomment the lookupUser code...should be able to relogin now and be remembered..yes
Get the Welcome back after closing client then reruning client an use the same name.
Ok, now to fix the Object ref errors..
Changes to MudObject.java
    getInventory()
  // Added stuff
  Iterator iter = inventory.iterator();
  while (iter.hasNext()) {
    ManagedReference<MudObject> ref = (ManagedReference<MudObject>)iter.next();
    MudObject obj = ref.get();

    if (showInvisible || obj.isVisible()) {
      inv.add(obj);
    }
  }
new code to pull stuff out of an inventory.
Summary..can now login, logout, look, and it remembers user.
One last Clean and Build..
