Class RemoteControl

java.lang.Object
  extended by multivalent.VObject
      extended by multivalent.Behavior
          extended by multivalent.net.RemoteControl
All Implemented Interfaces:
java.lang.Runnable

public class RemoteControl
extends Behavior
implements java.lang.Runnable

Accept semantic events via socket listening on port. Special case: http://localhost:port/command?argument. where the default port is 5549 and command is a semantic event string name. For example, http://localhost:5549/openDocument?http://www.cs.berkeley.edu/ sent from a web browser or programming language instructs the browser to open a well-known web page. A list of semantic events and their string equivalents is available in the Javadoc constants page (look for MSG_*). At this time only semantic events with zero or one-String argument can be invoked this way.
