Question

I have coded a single threaded client server model which does following:

1. Server loops for client waiting..
2. When client runs, it sends current data available (i.e. a string which has 10 fields seperated by comma)
3. Server reads the data from client and decodes it (simply by checking for comma)
4. Then using mybatis server updates database.

Now I want to convert this server to multithreaded one and I am really confused looking at some examples that I found while googling (i.e. chat server etc.).

So, can anyone please help me out where exactly to start from to convert server into a multithreaded one?

I can post the code here if required.

You could start a thread for every incoming connection.
