I have a somewhat simple server meaning that i am trying to learn different design patterns by making a server as object orientated as possible. Suprisingly so far i havnt had a single problem untill i created the method close().
apprently when a client closes his connection with the database the BufferReader still wants input and throws an execption saying that Java.net.socketExecption: socket closed
since i have alot of different classes i will only post the ones that are failing at the moment if you need additional information please do not hesitate to send me a comment. Also since i am trying to learn from this project please comment on my code aswell if you feel like it 🙂
Code (all of my code)

*/

}
}

** ChatPerson**
public class ChatPerson {
private String chatName;
private Socket connection;
/*
* This is for furture development
* private Integer adminLevel;
*/

this.chatName = name;

this.chatName = name;
}
public String getName(){
return chatName;
}
public String toString(){
return "Username: "+chatName;
}
public Socket getConnection(){
return connection;
}
}
I have tried the following thing(s):
try {
String inString;
while ((inString = br.readLine()) != null) {
if (inString.equalsIgnoreCase("Disconnect")) {
System.out.println(inString);
break;
}else {
processInput(inString);
}
}
scm.closeMe(connection);
This did not work still gave me the same execption.
Having both these loops is meaningless.
readLine()will return null as soon as EOS is reached, at which point you should close the socket and exit the loop. In any caseisConnected()doesn’t tell you anything about the state of the connection, only about which APIs you have called on yourSocketwhich is the endpoint of it. Lose the outer loop.
