I've been using the xapFramework hub and viewer and have the problems of
me=
ssage duplication.  To better understand what is happening I wrote a hub
ap=
plication based upon what I understood from the spec and Patrick Lidstone
f=
eedback.  With my hub I no longer get the duplicate messages.  It is my
und=
erstanding that the hub should use 127.0.0.1 to retransmit messages to all
=
xap applicaitons on the same PC.  I see this as the From interface in the
x=
apFramework viewer when I run my hub, but when I run the xapFramework hub
I=
see 192.x.x.x. as the message From.  It looks as if the xapFramework hub i=
s using the primary interface for retransmission.  I do not know which is
r=
ight or wrong, but I'm just trying to get my system working without
duplica=
te messages.  Is there concensus on how the hub should operate?

What is also interesting is that the viewer on machine X reports that is
se=
es the viewer on machine Y via  the 127.0.0.1:3639 interface.  I was not
aw=
are message sent on the loopback interface were visible on other
computers.=
What does the xapFramework viewer use to determine the From column in the=
display?

In my hub implementation  messages received on the primary interface (port
=
3639) are sent on 127.0.0.1 to the subscribed port of each applicaton on
th=
e hub's PC using the port that the application indicated to which is was
bo=
und in the heartbeat message.  All applications send their messages on the
=
primary interface to port 3639.  I think these messages will be seen by
the=
local hub and any other computers on the primary LAN.

Related question ....

In a PC desktop application is generally the case that more than one xap
ap=
plication will be running.  If this is the case then why will the desktop
a=
pplication grap port 3639 and prevent normal xap opeations until manually
s=
topped?  It seems that a PC application should pick some other port then
ev=
entually become active when the hub function comes online.
