8.7 Explain how you would design a chat server. In particular, provide details about the various backend components, classes, and methods. What would be the hardest problems to solve?
这个简易的聊天服务器功能十分的有限,毕竟只是针对面试题的,谁也无法在面试的有限时间内设计出像QQ那样强大的聊天工具,所以只是实现一些基本的功能即可,根据书上所述,包括如下功能:
1. 登陆和登出
2. 添加请求(发送,接受,和拒绝)
3. 更显一个状态消息
4. 建立私聊和群聊
5. 添加信息到私聊和群聊
