I am implementing a basic chat server on Java. Actually I finished basic things and trying to improve it.
Now I wanna trying on making a list which shows who is online. I have a problem. I get string on JTextPane component and when I press “ENTER” it sends the message but the text cursor goes to lower line. I use setCaretPosition(0); but it didn’t work.
You can see the image below and understand the problem.
Here is my server and server thread code;
import java.io.DataOutputStream;
import java.io.IOException;
import java.net.ServerSocket;
import java.net.Socket;
import java.util.HashMap;
import java.util.Iterator;
import java.util.Map;
import java.util.Set;
public class Server {
private ServerSocket ss;
private Socket s;
Map<Socket,DataOutputStream> list = new HashMap<Socket,DataOutputStream>();
public Server(int port_number) throws IOException{
create_Server(port_number);
}
public static void main(String[] args) throws IOException {
int port_number=23;
new Server(port_number);
}
private void create_Server(int port_number) throws IOException{
ss = new ServerSocket(port_number);
System.out.println("Server is ready!");
while(true){
s=ss.accept();
System.out.println(s.getLocalAddress().getHostName() + " was connected!");
send_con_mes();
list.put(s,new DataOutputStream(s.getOutputStream()) );
new ServerThread(s,this).start();
}
}
private void send_con_mes() throws IOException{
Set<Socket> sckt_list = list.keySet();
Iterator<Socket> itr = sckt_list.iterator();
DataOutputStream daos;
String str;
Socket sckt;
while(itr.hasNext()){
sckt=itr.next();
str = sckt.getLocalAddress().getHostName() + " was connected..." ;
daos = list.get(sckt);
daos.writeUTF(str);
}
}
public void send_to_All(String msg, Socket socket) throws IOException{
synchronized(list){
Set<Socket> sckt_list = list.keySet();
Iterator<Socket> itr = sckt_list.iterator();
DataOutputStream daos;
while(itr.hasNext()){
Socket sck = itr.next();
if(sck!=socket){
daos = list.get(sck);
daos.writeUTF(msg);
}
}
}
}
public void remove_Connection(Socket s) throws IOException{
synchronized(list){
list.remove(s);
System.out.println(s.getLocalAddress().getHostName() + " was disconnected!");
s.close();
}
}
}
import java.io.DataInputStream;
import java.io.IOException;
import java.net.Socket;
public class ServerThread extends Thread {
private Socket s;
private Server srv;
public ServerThread(Socket s,Server srv){
this.s = s;
this.srv = srv;
}
@Override
public void run() {
String msg;
DataInputStream dis;
try {
dis = new DataInputStream(s.getInputStream());
while(true){
msg = dis.readUTF();
srv.send_to_All(msg, s);
}
} catch (IOException e) {
// TODO Auto-generated catch block
e.printStackTrace();
}
finally{
try {
srv.remove_Connection(s);
} catch (IOException e) {
// TODO Auto-generated catch block
e.printStackTrace();
}
}
}
}
So I guess I must implement the list in server.java but the problem is how can I pass the list and use it in client.java. and here is my client code:
import java.awt.Frame;
import java.awt.event.KeyEvent;
import java.io.DataInputStream;
import java.io.DataOutputStream;
import java.io.IOException;
import java.net.InetAddress;
import java.net.Socket;
import java.net.UnknownHostException;
import java.util.logging.Level;
import java.util.logging.Logger;
import javax.swing.DefaultListModel;
import javax.swing.JList;
import javax.swing.JOptionPane;
import javax.swing.JScrollPane;

public class Client extends javax.swing.JFrame implements Runnable {
private DataOutputStream dos;
private DataInputStream dis;
private Socket s;
private String Client_name;
private String Ip_addr;
private DefaultListModel listModel=new DefaultListModel();
/** Creates new form Client */
public Client() {
initComponents();
Screen.setEditable(false);
acc_list.setVisibleRowCount(6);
listModel.addElement(Client_name);
start_Chat();
}
@Override
public void run() {
try {
while(true){
String message = dis.readUTF();
Screen.append(message + "\n");
}
} catch (IOException ex) {
Logger.getLogger(Client.class.getName()).log(Level.SEVERE, null, ex);
}
}
public void start_Chat() {
try {
Ip_addr = JOptionPane.showInputDialog("Enter the IP number of the server to connect : ");
s = new Socket(Ip_addr, 23);
Client_name = JOptionPane.showInputDialog("Enter your Nickname : ");
dis = new DataInputStream(s.getInputStream());
dos = new DataOutputStream(s.getOutputStream());
new Thread(Client.this).start();
} catch (UnknownHostException ex) {
JOptionPane.showMessageDialog(rootPane, "Socket can not connected", "ERROR", JOptionPane.ERROR_MESSAGE);
} catch (IOException ex) {
JOptionPane.showMessageDialog(rootPane, "Socket can not connected", "ERROR", JOptionPane.ERROR_MESSAGE);
start_Chat();
}
}

I appreciated if you can help me. And thanks anyway.
One way to implement this would be to implement some event that contains a list of usernames that is sent to all users every time a user connects/disconnects. To keep things simple you could also take a page out of the FTP implementation and use two channels per user – one for the text and another for system commands.
Either way you should basically just serialize the event containing all the necessary information and send that to all clients. Those then basically only have to deserialize it, check what kind of event they have and handle it accordingly. That way you let the Java Serialization API handle all the complicated work – though you can also define your own protocol and use protobuf or something (more efficient; more work).
