Game server - 2 player board game

Networking & Multiplayer
#1

Hi,

I’m setting up a game server (tanbo.com) and I’m looking for general advice. I will be using servlets and html forms. I need advice on program architecture, security, thread safety, persistance, etc.

It’s a two player board game (Tanbo - similar to Go). I think one board should be sufficient, with a waiting list. Also there ought to be a chat window.

Any ideas will be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance.

from my experience, you will have better luck if you post up some specific ideas that you have and get critiques rather than asking a much more open-ended question as you are right now.
