[SOLVED] Java Coursework Description

Coursework Description
The summative assessment for this module will consist of ONE Java based project, and ONE written assign- ment. The aim of this coursework is to implement a distributed system for a new startup business called DropFiles. DropFiles want to offer users free file storage and file sharing facilities.
Java RMI Practical Assignment (65%)
The Java based practical aspect of this module involves building a distributed system using Java RMI. Be- low we detail the two levels of requirement:
Basic Requirements
You should develop the server system for DropFiles. This should be a two-tier server, consisting of a collection of national servers, and a single global server. Clients are only permitted to upload files to their local national server. If a file has resided on a national server for more than a certain amount of time (you can decide for testing purposes), then it should be uploaded to the global server and removed from the national server. Should a user request to download this file it should be first transferred back to the national server, and then sent to the appropriate user.
You should also develop a client to allow users to upload/download/delete files on the DropFiles sys- tem. The client should also show users a list of files they currently have stored with DropFiles.
You should develop the Client and Server systems using Java RMI. Note that the types and sizes of files you decide to store on the Server is not particularly important, you should focus on working out the architecture of the distributed system.
Advanced Requirements
Develop a second server system for DropFiles that utilises a peer-to-peer architecture instead. In this system, once a user uploads a file to their local peer, that peer should send a copy of the same file to every other peer in the server system. Also if a user deletes a file from their local peer, that file should be deleted from every peer. The aim is that all peers in the server system will contain exactly the same data.
Develop a new client that has the same functionality as before but also allows users to share files with a particular user.
You should develop the new client and server system using Java RMI.
When submitting the Java project please submit four separate folders (Basic Server, Basic Client, Advanced Server, Advanced Client), zipped into an easy to open archive.
