Question

I have a function that accepts a message in String form. The message looks like this : “HTTP/1.1 GET /1/ \n”

I have been using the java.String.split method to break down the string into three smaller substrings, version, command, and number. Then I reconstruct the oringal string from the substrings and output it.

However, when I run teh function the program results in ArrayIndex out of bounds : 1, but still functions properly. But when I run the program step by step in the debugger (netbeans) the program does not result in the ArrayIndex out of bounds nonesense and functions as normal

Any suggestions?

String output = "";

        String[] tokens = clientMessage.split(" ");
        String version = tokens[0];
        String command = tokens[1];
        String potNum = tokens[2];
        output = version + " " + command + " " + potNum;

EDIT yes, the program is multithreaded, the clientMsessage string contains “HTTP/1.1 GET /1/ \n” all the time, the value fo clientMessage never changes. The clientMessage is a string sent from a client program and then processed on the server and the output is snet back tot eh client but I keep getting the array errors

ArrayIndexOutOfBounds arises when you are accessing index of an array which does not have any values means in your case tokens[1] does not exists. When debugging are you using same string as input??
