Client server connection

[Baazigar]

To make a client server connection normally its the server waiting for a connection through

ServerSocket. Accept()

but this method is blocking. Is there another way to create a method client/server connection that runs them at the same temps.ce means that this is not the server that is launched first.

The server must always be started first, if you do not block the execution of your program I advise you to launch Thread, accept the waiting in a Thread, and the other side of management for each client is by a dedicated thread.

A brief description is here. Here is short information:

A socket is one endpoint of a two-way communication link between two programs running on the network. A socket is bound to a port number so that the TCP layer can identify the application that data is destined to be sent.

Normally, a server runs on a specific computer and has a socket that is bound to a specific port number. The server just waits, listening to the socket for a client to make a connection request.

Here is an example:

public class Server implements Runnable{
// Port on which your serverSocket will accept the connection
private final int port=3333;
// Server socket
private ServerSocket serverSocket;
// thread
private Thread thServer;
//variable to stop your thread (yad alternative)
private boolean inPrivate=false;
 
//Constructor
 public Server(){
  serverSocket=new ServerSocket(port);//instantiates the server socket
  thServer=new Thread(this,"My Server");//create the thread 
  thServer.start();//starts the thread's run
 }
//run the thread 
 public void run(){
  inPrivate=true;
  while(inPrivate){
   serverSocket.accept();
  }
 }
}

But that does not do much except accept the connection. To you create a class to use your socket by replacing:

 serverSocket. accept ( ) ;

by

new Reception (server.accept());

public class Reception{
 BufferedInputStream bis;
 char read;
 public Reception(Socket mySocket){
  bis=new BufferedInputStream (mySocket.getInputStream());
  while((read=bis.read())!=-1){
   System.out.println(read);
  }
 }
}

Well it must miss the block try() catch() {}, must also pass reception in thread. Otherwise you will have concerns for a more connected to your server
