what’s wrong with my code?
sorry about my bad English

public class Main {


    public static void main(String[] args) {

        Thread sThread = new Thread(new sevr());

            System.out.println("joining failed");
        }
        System.out.println("Main done");

    }

}

output:

Main started
Server: is about to create socket
Client: about to create socket
Client: socket created
Client: creating streams
Server: socket created
Server: is listening
Server: Connection Established
Server: creating streams
Server: stream done
Server: reading the request
Client: stream done
Client: requesting
Client: requesting finished
Client: reading the respond

and it waits here forever!

Answer 1

The program is using a BufferedWriter but this is not flushed (it will sit in the buffer until it is flushed, the buffer fills or closed) and there is no newline sent (the readLine will wait until you send a newline)

try

bw.write("I am the Client!!\n");
bw.flush();
