Container server
The server should be created as a separate project so that it can be run separately. The TCP
server should listen for connections, and when an XML message is received, the XML code
should be read, and the container data displayed using a model/view approach (not using a
convenience class). Note that the server should check (using a regular expression) that the
container code is valid, displaying **** if an invalid code is found. Also, when a new message is
received, the display should be updated.
3. Requirements
The following general requirements should be noted.
• You should use menus and toolbars in your application.
• Pointers should be used for all instances of objects, and memory should be properly managed.
• Appropriate design patterns should be used where sensible.
4. Extras
Bonus marks will be added for using QMainWindow functionality.
