    Default CCN(Computer Communication and Network Systems)

    Hi I have some knowledge about programming in general. However, it's my first time in programming in trying to communicate from one machine to another and I find it rather exiting. I have managed to communicate using a "Server.java" and "Client.java" class successfully by transmitting messages to a single server. My next task would be to create a buffer (string array) on server side and the next part is important "after sending 10 messages from "Client", "Server" should print a message "BUFFER FULL"." following are my two similar classes, and cannot wait to see this working, can somebody please help me? :-):

    import java.io.*; 
    import java.net.*; 
     
    public class TCPMultiThreadServer { 
     
     
    private static ServerSocket welcomeSocket;
     
    private static final int PORT = 1234;
    private static int clientNo =1;
      public static void main(String argv[]) throws Exception 
        { 
     
     
         System.out.println("Opening port...\n");
     
         try
    		{
               welcomeSocket = new ServerSocket(PORT); 
     
     
    }
    		catch (IOException e)
    		{}
     
     
     
         do { 
     
                Socket client = welcomeSocket.accept();
                System.out.println("\nNew client accepted.\n");
     
                //Create a thread to handle communication with
    	    //this client and pass the constructor for this
    	    //thread a reference to the relevant socket...
     
                TCPMultiThreadServer.ClientHandler handler = 
                    new TCPMultiThreadServer().new ClientHandler(client,clientNo);
     
                handler.start(); //this method calls run.
     
     
    		clientNo++;

    What does the code do now when it is executed? Please copy the full contents of the consoles and paste it here.

    Hi there, when the first class "TCPMultiThreadServer" is ran, it prints:

    TCPMultiThreadServer:
    "run:
    Opening port..."

    I am then expected to run "TCPClient1" and that prints:

    TCPClient1
    run:
    Enter message: hi
    Message sent! please wait for server message "(I hit enter)

    the messages are exchanged between the two classes:

    TCPMultiThreadServer:
    "
    run:
    Opening port...


    New client accepted.

    Message received from client number 1: hi
    Enter Message:
    "

    Here are some tools and ideas I use for debugging client-server code. Execute client and server in one JVM by putting this main() in a testing class and executing it:
     
      public static void main(final String[] args) {
          Thread t1 = new Thread(new Runnable() {
             public void run() {
                try{TCPMultiThreadServer.main(args);}catch(Exception x){x.printStackTrace();}
             }
          });
          t1.start();
     
          try{Thread.sleep(100);}catch(Exception x){}
     
          Thread t2 = new Thread(new Runnable() {
             public void run() {
                try{TCPClient1.main(args);}catch(Exception x){x.printStackTrace();}
             }
          });
          t2.start();
     
     
          // wait and exit
          try{Thread.sleep(5000);}catch(Exception x){}
          System.out.println("Exiting main");
          System.exit(0);
     
       }  //  end main()>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
    Change the source of input for the program by replacing System.in with a StringReader:
                  //  All input to come from String in StringReader
                  StringReader sr = new StringReader("msg1 and text\n2\n3\n4\n5\n6\n7\n8\n9\nE\n1\n2\n3\n");
                  text_to_Client =
                      new BufferedReader(sr); //new InputStreamReader(System.in));
    I get this on the console when I execute:
    Running: java -client -cp . TCPMultiThreadServerTest

    Opening port...


    New client accepted.

    BTW ALL catch blocks should have calls to the printStackTrace() method

    How would you call back to the printStackTrace(), sorry I understand what you mean but can't seem to do it. Can I see the syntax if possible? It's just that mines still on infinite no of messages lol :-) Thanks.

    It goes in the catch block:
    		catch (IOException e)
    		{e.printStackTrace();}

    infinite no of messages
    Add a counter and send the buffer full when the counter reaches the amount.
