Class Username

java.lang.Object

it.fi.meucci.utils.Username

public abstract class Username
extends Object

The class representing a user's username. It is used to address Messages to their recipients. In the server, each username is associated with a Socket. It has two static methods that return an object with username "server" and one with username "everyone". These two usernames are forbidden and the server cannot assign them. Intuitively, 'server' is the username used to address a message to the server; 'everyone' sends the message in broadcast.
