Implementation of RFB protocol

[Himanshu Mishra]

I am in need of implementing RFB protocol (vnc) in java for my project.
My question is that do I have to write the complete implementation code or is there a library already present for the same which I could use ?

Hi Himanshu!

There are complete VNC viewers (and probably servers too) written in Java, RealVNC for example - but I'm guessing that your project is to write the whole implementation of the protocol, not just using a library which does all of it... So basically, I don't think that there's a library that will do part of the work for you. Guess you'll have to do all of it yourself.

Mind you, I've never tried implementing that or any similar protocol in Java, so I may be missing something.

Thank you Nepomuk for sharing that!!

Actually one part of the project I am working on requires that the client at other end of network (LAN) should be able to view the desktop of server, similar to RealVNC, but that is just one part of Project, earlier I was thinking of sending screen shots of desktop in raw bits but I found out about RFB which is protocol for the same and is very efficient.
Anyways, now I suppose I have find some other way.
