Question

Below is some code I found about the ‘net and I can’t get it working. As far as I know it should work. Sadly, when I used s_server in the OpenSSL toolkit it didn’t register a connection. The server is written in Cpp and is working perfectly (at least I have that much). Can anyone make the proper corrections for me it would be greatly appreciated.

import javax.net.ssl.SSLSocket;
import javax.net.ssl.SSLSocketFactory;
import java.io.*;

import java.applet.*;
import java.awt.*;


public class jclientssl extends Applet {

    public static void main() {

        try {
            SSLSocketFactory sslsocketfactory = (SSLSocketFactory) SSLSocketFactory.getDefault();
            SSLSocket sslsocket = (SSLSocket) sslsocketfactory.createSocket("localhost", 9999);

            InputStream inputstream = System.in;
            InputStreamReader inputstreamreader = new InputStreamReader(inputstream);
            BufferedReader bufferedreader = new BufferedReader(inputstreamreader);

            OutputStream outputstream = sslsocket.getOutputStream();
            OutputStreamWriter outputstreamwriter = new OutputStreamWriter(outputstream);
            BufferedWriter bufferedwriter = new BufferedWriter(outputstreamwriter);

            String string = null;
            while ((string = bufferedreader.readLine()) != null) {
                bufferedwriter.write(string + '\n');
                bufferedwriter.flush();
            }
        } catch (Exception exception) {
            exception.printStackTrace();
        }
    }

    public void paint(Graphics g) {

        g.drawString("Welcome to Java!!", 50, 60 );

    }
}

If you are running this code as a Applet, then the main method is irrelevant, so your socket code is not being executed. (and, if you want to use that main method in a standalone application, then it needs to be public static void main(String[])).
