the question is totally rewritten since I have understood that previously it was really unclear.
I have created a Java Socket server with threads to accept multiple connection in order to handle php tcp requests.
The java server just for the testing purposes it reverse the string supplied from php.
Java server is hosted on a ubuntu server and the php is located on another machine.
The java server shows that php client is connected, but the php is not loading and the string is not sent.
From the codes given below what could be the mistake?
UPDATE
the problem is the received string from the Java server. I have checked with debugger and the BufferedReader is full of '\u0000' and server stops responding. The rest code and communication is working perfect.
How I can avoid those null characters or decode the string correct?
ReverseServer
import java.io.*;
import java.net.*;
public class ReverseServer {
public static void main(String[] args) {
int port = 10007;
try (ServerSocket serverSocket = new ServerSocket(port)) {
System.out.println("Server is listening on port " + port);
while (true) {
Socket socket = serverSocket.accept();
System.out.println("New client connected");
new ServerThread(socket).start();
}
} catch (IOException ex) {
System.out.println("Server exception: " + ex.getMessage());
ex.printStackTrace();
}
}
}
ServerThread
import java.io.*;
import java.net.*;
public class ServerThread extends Thread {
private Socket socket;
public ServerThread(Socket socket) {
this.socket = socket;
}
public void run() {
try {
InputStream input = socket.getInputStream();
BufferedReader reader = new BufferedReader(new InputStreamReader(input));
OutputStream output = socket.getOutputStream();
PrintWriter writer = new PrintWriter(output, true);
String text;
do {
text = reader.readLine();
String reverseText = new StringBuilder(text).reverse().toString();
writer.println("Server: " + reverseText);
} while (!text.equals("bye"));
socket.close();
} catch (IOException ex) {
System.out.println("Server exception: " + ex.getMessage());
ex.printStackTrace();
}
}
}
PHP client
<?php
// websocket connection test
$host = "ip_of_server";
$port = 10007;
$message = "Hello";
echo "Message To server :".$message;
$socket = socket_create(AF_INET, SOCK_STREAM, getprotobyname('TCP'));
$result = socket_connect($socket, $host, $port);
if ($result) {
// send string to server
socket_write($socket, $message, strlen($message)) or die("Could not send data to server\n");
// get server response
$result = socket_read($socket, 1024) or die("Could not read server response\n");
echo "Reply From Server :" . $result;
}
socket_close($socket);
I am trying to read a line, but on the string given on the php client didn't had the carriage return symbol "\r".
Once I have put this on the string it works as expected.

Output on server I get when sending "Hello" from client to server:
Client connected from 192.16.... Message from client: Hello Sending response back Client connected from 192.16....
Output on client:
Client connected. Listening on port 5053 Sending data... Attempting to get response...
Never gets response... Why?
Tried researching but found nothing yet, tried other code but didnt work aswell...
sorry , I can't comment. maybe you can use telnet command to vertify c# code is corrent.
telnet ip port
first, locate problem, then solve it.
if server is ok , we can use nc command vertify client code, I have test your java code , except every send data will close socket , other is ok.
Fixed it by removing writer.close() cause that causes socket closing and makes another connection to the server by creating again the socket which makes the server wait for a stream of data and the client wait for a response...
System.out.println("Sending data...");
PrintWriter writer = new PrintWriter(socket.getOutputStream(), true);
writer.println(message);
InputStream input = socket.getInputStream();
BufferedReader reader = new BufferedReader(new InputStreamReader(input));
String line;
while ((line = reader.readLine()) != null) {
System.out.println(line);
}
I started working with sockets this week and I'm having a hard time.
My goal is when the client sent a message the server responded with a notification.
On the client side sending to the server has no problem, but when the server sends to the client nothing appears.
Can anybody help me with this problem?

First the short answer: Your Java codes are both working almost fine.
Anyway, you should always test your application against another program that is known to be OK. By testing one self-written program against another fresh self-written program, it is difficult to say which of both is broken. It seems that you are testing it with some GUI (Android?). Transforming the relevant part to a simple console application which you run on a regular PC makes troubleshooting much easier.
So let me show how I checked your code on my Linux laptop:
First copy your "client" code into a "Hello-World" template. I added some debug messages and a loop which allows the client to receive more than one single line of text:
import java.io.BufferedReader;
import java.io.IOException;
import java.io.InputStreamReader;
import java.net.ServerSocket;
import java.net.Socket;
class Main
{
static class myServerThread implements Runnable
{
Socket socket;
ServerSocket serverSocket;
InputStreamReader inputStreamReader;
BufferedReader bufferedReader;
String message;
#Override
public void run()
{
try
{
serverSocket = new ServerSocket(5000);
while (true)
{
System.out.println("Accepting...");
socket = serverSocket.accept();
System.out.println("Connected...");
inputStreamReader = new InputStreamReader(socket.getInputStream());
bufferedReader = new BufferedReader(inputStreamReader);
String message = bufferedReader.readLine();
while (message!=null)
{
System.out.println("Received:" + message);
message = bufferedReader.readLine();
}
System.out.println("Closing...");
socket.close();
}
}
catch (IOException e)
{
e.printStackTrace();
}
}
}
public static void main(String[] args)
{
Thread thread = new Thread(new myServerThread());
thread.start();
}
}
I started the "client" and opened another command window to open a network connection with Netcat and send two lines of text:
nc localhost 5000
Hallo
Test
The related output of the "client" program was:
Accepting...
Connected...
Received:Hallo
Received:Test
Closing...
Accepting...
So the "client" part is running fine obviously.
Next I copied your "server" code into a "Hello World" template:
import java.io.BufferedReader;
import java.io.IOException;
import java.io.InputStreamReader;
import java.io.PrintWriter;
import java.net.ServerSocket;
import java.net.Socket;
class Main
{
static class myServerThread implements Runnable
{
Socket socket;
ServerSocket serverSocket;
InputStreamReader inputStreamReader;
BufferedReader bufferedReader;
String message;
#Override
public void run()
{
String EMAIL = "Email";
try
{
serverSocket = new ServerSocket(6000);
while (true)
{
System.out.println("Accepting...");
socket = serverSocket.accept();
System.out.println("Connected...");
inputStreamReader = new InputStreamReader(socket.getInputStream());
bufferedReader = new BufferedReader(inputStreamReader);
String message = bufferedReader.readLine();
while (message != null)
{
System.out.println("Received:" + message);
if (message.equals(EMAIL))
{
System.out.println("Sending...");
try
{
socket = new Socket("localHost", 5000);
PrintWriter printWriter = new PrintWriter(socket.getOutputStream());
printWriter.write(message);
printWriter.flush();
printWriter.close();
System.out.println("sending done");
}
catch (IOException e)
{
e.printStackTrace();
}
}
message = bufferedReader.readLine();
}
System.out.println("Closing...");
socket.close();
}
}
catch (IOException ex)
{
ex.printStackTrace();
}
}
}
public static void main(String[] args)
{
Thread thread = new Thread(new myServerThread());
thread.start();
}
}
Again I added some debug messages and a loop, so the server can receive multiple lines of text. Since this Java program handles two connections, I had to open two command windows.
In the first command window I tell NetCat to accept (listen) connection on port 5000. That is where your "server" will send the "Email" message to:
nc -lp 5000
In the second command window I tell Netcat to connect to your "server" on port 6000, then I send two lines of text and then I press Ctrl-C to stop it:
nc localhost 6000
Test
Email
^C
The related output of the "server" program is:
Accepting...
Connected...
Received:Test
Received:Email
Sending...
sending done
Closing...
Accepting...
And my listening Netcat in the other (first) command windows produced this output:
stefan#stefanpc:/hdd/stefan$ nc -lp 5000
Emailstefan#stefanpc:/hdd/stefan$
So everything looks fine on my machine. Beside one small detail: There is no line break after the "Email" that your "server" sends to the client (in this case NetCat). So the fix is simple:
printWriter.write(message+"\n");
This final line break is required because your client consumes the input by readLine().
NetCat is a very helpful tool to test plain text TCP socket communication. It is included in all Linux distributions. If you have difficulties to find a Windows executable, then take it from my homepage: http://stefanfrings.de/avr_tools/netcat-win32-1.12.zip
Please comment if that was helpful to you.
Hello stackoverflow community,
i am stuck at a problem regarding socket communication in Java.
Here is the sample code of my Server and Client class:
Server:
public class OTPServer {
static ServerSocket serverSocket;
final static int PORT = 4242;
static Socket clientConnection;
public static void main(String[] args) {
try {
serverSocket = new ServerSocket(PORT);
System.out.println("Socket initialized");
String serverMessage = "Hello, I am the Host";
ServerTool serverTool = new ServerTool();
while (true) {
clientConnection = serverSocket.accept();
if(clientConnection.isConnected()) {
System.out.println("Client connected");
}
BufferedReader clientInputReader = new BufferedReader(new InputStreamReader(clientConnection.getInputStream()));
DataOutputStream serverOutput = new DataOutputStream(clientConnection.getOutputStream());
System.out.println("Sending message to client: " + serverMessage);
serverOutput.writeBytes(serverTool.encodeMessage(serverMessage));
serverOutput.flush();
String clientMessage = clientInputReader.readLine();
System.out.println("Encoded answer from client: " + clientMessage);
String decodedMessage = serverTool.decodeMessage(clientMessage);
System.out.println("Decoded answer from client: " + decodedMessage);
serverOutput.close();
clientInputReader.close();
}
} catch (IOException e) {
e.printStackTrace();
}
System.out.println("Hello, I am the OTP Server!");
}
Here is the Client:
public class OTPClient {
static Socket clientSocket;
final static int PORT = 4242;
final static String HOST = "localhost";
public static void main(String[] args) {
System.out.println("I am the OTP Client!");
String serverMessage;
String clientResponse = "I am the Client";
OTPTool otpTool = new OTPTool();
try {
clientSocket = new Socket(HOST, PORT);
BufferedReader serverInput = new BufferedReader(new InputStreamReader(clientSocket.getInputStream()));
DataOutputStream outputStream = new DataOutputStream(clientSocket.getOutputStream());
System.out.println("Connection to Host established");
serverMessage = serverInput.readLine();
System.out.println("Encoded Message from Server: " + serverMessage);
String decodedMessage = otpTool.decodeMessage(serverMessage);
System.out.println("Decoded message from Server: " + decodedMessage);
System.out.println("Answering with own message: " + clientResponse);
outputStream.writeBytes(clientResponse);
outputStream.flush();
outputStream.close();
} catch (IOException e) {
e.printStackTrace();
}
}
Now where is my problem:
The connection establishes and the Server seems to send its message to the client and waits for a answer. The Client does not print the message he got from the Server.
As soon as i cancel the Server the client prints the message it gets from the server as well as the information, that the answer is send end exits with exit code 0 so it seems that this part is fine it just is stuck somehow.
I already tried to flush the outputStream as you see in the example code given.
Is there something obvious im missing?
I know, this is really basic stuff but its my first time using sockets for communication.
Thank you in advance!
Best Regards,
Ronny
Btw: i know that the server only connects to one client requesting a connection. Thats absolutely sufficient for my use.
It is getting stuck because serverInput.readLine(); blocks until either a line break or end of file is encountered. On the server side, you are not sending a line break, so the client blocks.
I have been trying to send a simple string between a Java client socket and a Python server socket. This is the code for the server socket:
HOST=''
PORT=12000
s=socket.socket(socket.AF_INET,socket.SOCK_STREAM)
s.setsockopt(socket.SOL_SOCKET,socket.SO_REUSEADRR,1)
s.bind((HOST,PORT))
s.listen(5)
device=variador()
while True:
conn,addr=s.accept()
if data=="turn_on":
respuesta=device.send_order(variador.start_order)
conn.send(respuesta+'\n')
conn.close()
and the client code is:
try {
Socket socket = new Socket("192.168.10.171", 12000);
PrintWriter out = new PrintWriter(socket.getOutputStream(), true);
BufferedReader in = new BufferedReader(new InputStreamReader(
socket.getInputStream()));
BufferedReader stdIn = new BufferedReader(
new InputStreamReader(System.in));
out.print(command);
out.close();
in.close();
socket.close();
} catch (UnknownHostException e) {
System.err.println("Unknown Host.");
// System.exit(1);
} catch (IOException e) {
System.err.println("Couldn't get I/O for "
+ "the connection.");
// System.exit(1);
}
Everything works fine until I try to read the server's response, using this:
String userInput;
while ((userInput = stdIn.readLine()) != null) {
out.println(userInput);
System.out.println("echo: " + in.readLine());
}
then the code hangs and the Python server does not receive any information, which I tested using print.
Is there a problem trying to send first and then wait for a response from the server in the Java client?
Any help will be much appreciated.
Well, I discovered that the Java client hangs because the messages sent by the python server were not explicitly finished with \r\n, so the Python code should have been something like this:
HOST = ''
PORT = 12000
s = socket.socket(socket.AF_INET, socket.SOCK_STREAM)
s.setsockopt(socket.SOL_SOCKET, socket.SO_REUSEADRR, 1)
s.bind((HOST, PORT))
s.listen(5)
device = variador()
while True:
conn, addr = s.accept()
if data == "turn_on\r\n":
respuesta = device.send_order(variador.start_order)
conn.send(respuesta + '\r\n')
conn.close()
I know it should have been quite obvious from the name of the methods in Java, readline() and println, both suggesting that java ends strings with the sequence \r\n

If you only want to send a single command on the socket connection, then close the OutputStream after writing the command (using Socket.shutdownOutput()). The socket is reading until EOF and you will not receive EOF until you close the socket. hence, your code never proceeds.
Source - java socket InputStream hangs/blocks on both client and server
Hope it helps!
I am trying to write server to client program but I cannot communicate with the server in Java.
Here is the code block in my main.
InetAddress addr = InetAddress.getLocalHost();
ipAddress = "78.162.206.164";
ServerSocket serverSocket = new ServerSocket(0);
String randomStringForPlayerName = RandomStringGenerator.generateRandomString();
baseForReqOpp += ipAddress + " " + serverSocket + " " + randomStringForPlayerName;
Socket socket = new Socket(host,2050);
socket.setSoTimeout(100);
in = new BufferedReader(new InputStreamReader(socket.getInputStream()));
out = new PrintWriter(socket.getOutputStream());
out.write(baseForReqOpp);
out.flush();
System.out.println(in.read());
I know that there is no problem in the server code and all the communication ports are ok.
But I cannot read anything from the server.
What can be the problem?
you have to create an output stream before the input stream
Here is some working code with communicating client and server sockets. Hopefully you can adapt it for your specific problem.
public class SocketTest {
public void runTest() {
try {
// create the server
new SimpleServer().start();
// connect and send a message
InetAddress addr = InetAddress.getLocalHost();
Socket sock = new Socket(addr, 9090);
ObjectOutputStream out = new ObjectOutputStream(sock.getOutputStream());
out.writeObject("Hello server");
out.flush();
ObjectInputStream in = new ObjectInputStream(sock.getInputStream());
System.out.println("from server: " + in.readObject());
sock.close();
} catch (Exception e) {
e.printStackTrace();
}
}
// server has to run in a separate thread so the code doesn't block
private class SimpleServer extends Thread {
#Override
public void run() {
try {
ServerSocket sock = new ServerSocket(9090);
Socket conn = sock.accept();
// the code blocks here until a client connects to the server
ObjectInputStream in = new ObjectInputStream(conn.getInputStream());
System.out.println("from client: " + in.readObject());
ObjectOutputStream out = new ObjectOutputStream(conn.getOutputStream());
out.writeObject("Hello client");
out.flush();
sock.close();
} catch (Exception e) {
e.printStackTrace();
}
}
}
}
To run it:
new SocketTest().runTest();
Your code will never work because you don't use threads. In order to start the server, you need to call accept at some point in your code
myServerSocket.accept();
this is a blocking call, ie the code flow stops until a client connects. But since you can't execute any statement (remember accept is blocking?) how can a client connect? This chicken and egg problem is resolved through threads. See Howard's answer for a code sample.
I don't see any call to accept(), so I wonder what your client connects to...
