hello everybody,

thanks for viewing this post, please do leave your suggestions, views or comments here, they would be really helpful

i have been assigned a project called "virtual classroom", in simple words i would be transmitting input from a webcam where a professor would be lecturing and transfer this audio and video via internet to subscribers.
Q1. i already know java media framework is required for this project, please suggest and good book tutorial or anything from where i can get clear understanding of its api ?

Q2. since the connection here are not reliable, tranmitting same data for each client would increase the load on server, i already have some bad experience with multiple thread handling in java, it is too slow, please suggest any other viable solution, i have heard java.nio.* is better for handling io as compared to java.io.*, also is it possible to use jxta p2p for this project ?

Q3. the application should support internationalization, so please suggest any good book for this purpose ?

Q4. i am also thinking about giving a slide show along with video input, it would be a powerpoint file that would be displayed to client navigation would be controlled by server, please suggest and api to do the same

Q5. as the whole thing is network based, i would need a standard protocol for commiunication between server and client, please suggest any good book, tut or anything for making a robust protocol

any type of comment would be welcome, you can post it here or message me, my email id is
