TCP/IP Socket Communications in MATLAB using Java Classes

A simple example TCP/IP server and client using a helper Java class

Description

Provides an example Server / Client written in MATLAB that utilises the ability to call Java to perform message communication using TCP/IP.

Similar to my previous example (http://www.mathworks.com/matlabcentral/fileexchange/21131) but allows for much more efficient data transmission by using a helper Java class to minimise function call overhead.

To use the example:

- Start 2 instances of MATLAB
- in the first execute the following:
  message = char(mod(1:1000, 255)+1);
  server(message, 3000, 10)
- in the second execute the following:
  javaaddpath('<path to where the .class file is located>');
  data = client('localhost', 3000)

• MATLAB release: MATLAB 7.8 (R2009a)
• Other requirements: Although I have developed it in MATLAB 2009a, it should work on versions as far back as R14.
