Constructor Detail

MaryHttpClient

public MaryHttpClient()
               throws IOException

The simplest way to create a mary client. It will connect to the MARY server running at DFKI. Only use this for testing purposes!

Throws:

IOException - if communication with the server fails

MaryHttpClient

public MaryHttpClient(boolean quiet)
               throws IOException

Throws:

IOException

MaryHttpClient

public MaryHttpClient(Address serverAddress)
               throws IOException

The typical way to create a mary client. It will connect to the MARY client running at the given host and port. This constructor reads two system properties:

• mary.client.profile (=true/false) - determines whether profiling (timing) information is calculated;
• mary.client.quiet (=true/false) - tells the client not to print any of the normal information to stderr.

Parameters:

serverAddress - the address of the server

Throws:

IOException - if communication with the server fails

MaryHttpClient

public MaryHttpClient(Address serverAddress,
              boolean profile,
              boolean quiet)
               throws IOException

An alternative way to create a mary client, which works with applets. It will connect to the MARY client running at the given host and port. Note that in applets, the host must be the same as the one from which the applet was loaded; otherwise, a security exception is thrown.

Parameters:

serverAddress - the address of the server

profile - determines whether profiling (timing) information is calculated

quiet - tells the client not to print any of the normal information to stderr

Throws:

IOException - if communication with the server fails
