Daytime Protocol Socket Class
April 10, 2002

This project contains a reusable class and some demo code that will connect to one of several time servers to retrieve following information:

  • Modified Julian Date
  • Year
  • Month
  • Day
  • Hour
  • Minute
  • Second
  • Daylight Savings
  • Leap Second Code
  • Health (of the server)
  • Milliseconds that NIST advances
  • UTC (NIST) Label

Please look at the DaytimeProtocol class for the meaning of each component.

The demo code also show a use of class interfaces: DaytimeProtocol notifies the object that queried it when it has finished receiving all data. This is accomplished through the use of a class interface shared by DaytimeProtocol and the calling object. In fact, any object can receive notification of DaytimeProtocol finishing simply by sharing the common interface.
