Document Vendor (Homework) Progress

For my distributed systems class, we are to make a document vending system.  The system consists of three separate components:

• Client


• Server


• Data store

The data store is playing the role of a typical database server (except with less features and only storing flat file data).  The server provides access from the client to the files stored in the data store (with some caching) and the Client is the front end GUI for the whole system.

I have the Server (minus the caching) and the data store working independently with only some minor integration for the connection between the two.  The client and caching components are going to take a little more work to get completed (but should be relatively easy).
