Question

I have Client class and Server class but when i run both main methods and then nothing will happen and when i stop running ,this exception will be occurred. why?? please help me,how can I fix it???

my Client class:

public class Client {

static BufferedReader reader = new BufferedReader(new InputStreamReader(System.in));

/**
 * @param args the command line arguments
 */
public static void main(String[] args) {

    try {
        Socket c = new Socket("localhost", 5001);
        BufferedReader read = new BufferedReader(new InputStreamReader(c.getInputStream()));
        BufferedWriter write = new BufferedWriter(new OutputStreamWriter(c.getOutputStream()));
        String string = reader.readLine();
        write.write(string, 0, string.length());
        write.newLine();
        write.flush();
        System.out.println(read.readLine());



    } catch (Exception e) {
        System.err.println(e);
    }
}}

my Server class:

public class Server{

/**
 * @param args the command line arguments
 */
public static void main(String[] args) {

    ServerSocket s = null;
    try {
        s = new ServerSocket(5001);
        System.out.println("listening...");
        Socket so = s.accept();
        BufferedReader read = new BufferedReader(new InputStreamReader(so.getInputStream()));
        BufferedWriter write = new BufferedWriter(new OutputStreamWriter(so.getOutputStream()));
        while (true) {
            String string = read.readLine();
            System.out.println(string);
            String answer = "I got" + string + "from you!";
            write.write(answer, 0, answer.length());
            write.newLine();
            write.flush();
        }
    } catch (IOException ex) {
        Logger.getLogger(Main.class.getName()).log(Level.SEVERE, null, ex);
    }

}}

Answer 1

Your client connects to the server, sends some data, reads the response and terminates. That’s ok.

But your server waits for a client, reads its data, writes a response and then tries to read some data from the client again. But the client has closed the connection. So the server gets the exception you described.

To fix this (on server side), you have to do the Socket so = s.accept(); within your while loop. And don’t forget to close the socket at the end of the loop.
