Question

I have this code:

ServerSocket serverSideSocket = new ServerSocket(1234);
        serverSideSocket.accept();
        BufferedReader in = new BufferedReader(new InputStreamReader(serverSideSocket.getInputStream()));

And compiler writes me that it cannot find “getInputStream”. I do not understand why. In the beginning of my code I do import java.net.*.

Answer 1

Calling of accept returns instance of Socket which has required method getInputStream.

The code might look like this:

ServerSocket serverSideSocket = new ServerSocket(1234);
Socket socket = serverSideSocket.accept();
BufferedReader in = new BufferedReader(new InputStreamReader(socket.getInputStream()));
