I'm not really good with Java and I wanted to write a simple client-server program (to date books) but I don't know how to share the variable termins between Threads (or where I made the mistake). Any advice would be accepted. I have been stuck on this for a few hours.
Here is my code:
Termin.java:
public class Termin {
public volatile int hour;
public volatile boolean reserved = false;
public volatile String user = null;
public Termin(int hour) {
this.hour = hour;
}
public void setHour(int value) {
this.hour = value;
}
...
Server.java:
public class Server {
public static final int PORT = 4444;
public volatile static Termin[] termins = new Termin[] {
new Termin(8),
new Termin(9),
new Termin(10),
new Termin(11),
new Termin(12),
new Termin(13),
new Termin(14),
new Termin(15),
new Termin(16),
new Termin(17),
};
public static void main(String[] args) throws IOException{
Server server = new Server();
server.runServer();
}
public void runServer() throws IOException{
ServerSocket serverSocket = new ServerSocket(PORT);
System.out.println("Server up and ready for connections...");
while(true){
Socket socket = serverSocket.accept();
new ServerThread(socket).start();
}
}
}
ServerThread.java:
public class ServerThread extends Thread {
Socket socket;
ServerThread(Socket socket){
this.socket = socket;
}
public void run(){
try {
String message = null;
PrintWriter printWriter = new PrintWriter(socket.getOutputStream(), true);
BufferedReader bufferedReader = new BufferedReader(new InputStreamReader(socket.getInputStream()));
System.out.println("user '" + bufferedReader.readLine() + "' is now connected to the server");
while ((message = bufferedReader.readLine()) != null) {
System.out.println("incoming client message: " + message);
printWriter.println(message);
}
socket.close();
} catch (IOException e) {
e.printStackTrace();
}
}
How I connect Clint.java:
public class Client {
public static void main(String[] args) throws UnknownHostException, IOException{
String name = args[0];
Socket socket = new Socket("localhost", Server.PORT);
BufferedReader bufferedReaderFromClient = new BufferedReader(new InputStreamReader(socket.getInputStream()));
PrintWriter printWriter = new PrintWriter(socket.getOutputStream(), true);
printWriter.println(name);
BufferedReader bufferedReaderFromCmdPrompt = new java.io.BufferedReader(new InputStreamReader(System.in));
And the fragment in Client.java where I change value of termins:
try {
String newReaderInput = bufferedReaderFromCmdPrompt.readLine();
printWriter.println(newReaderInput);
int var = Integer.parseInt(bufferedReaderFromClient.readLine());
if(var == 10 || var == 1 || var == 2 || var == 3 || var == 4 || var == 5 || var == 6 || var == 7 || var == 8 || var == 9 ) {
if(Server.termins[var].reserved == false) {
Server.termins[var-1].setReserved(true);
Server.termins[var-1].setUser(name);
System.out.println("\n\nTermin reserved.\n\n");
x=0;
} else {
System.out.println("\n\nError. Termin already booked\n\n");
}
} else {
System.out.println("\n\nError. No termin like this.!!!\n\n");
displayYourTermins(name);
}
} catch (NumberFormatException e) {
System.out.println("\n\nError. Write a number!!!\n\n");
displayYourTermins(name);
}
You can share variables between different threads via constructor of your-custom-thread class.
For Example,
Your Server.java want send object with ServerThread.java, You should pass this object as argument of constructor.
import java.io.IOException;
import java.net.ServerSocket;
import java.net.Socket;
public class Server {
private static final int PORT = 4444;
public static void main(String[] args) throws IOException {
ServerSocket serverSocket = new ServerSocket(PORT);
try {
while(true) {
Socket socket = serverSocket.accept();
// Your Object that you want to share with another thread
Termin termin = new Termin(20);
// Pass objects in constructor of another thread, So that another thread can use it.
// If you want to share more than one object, then change constructor and pass it via constructor.
new ServerThread(socket, termin).start();
}
} catch(Exception e) {
System.out.println("Exception occurred in Server Program");
e.printStackTrace();
} finally {
serverSocket.close();
System.out.println("Server Program Ended");
}
}
}
If you want to use this object from ServerThread.java, You should save reference of that object and then you can use this object in another thread. For Example: ServerThread.java
public class ServerThread extends Thread {
private Socket socket;
private Termin termin;
public ServerThread(Socket socket, Termin termin) {
this.socket = socket;
this.termin = termin;
}
#Override
public void run() {
// Your logic...
// Here you can use termin which was passed from main thread.
// If you change termin object here, it will also affect termin object in main thread.
}
}
Here you can use termin and socket both which are shared between main-thread and ServerThread-thread.

I'm a beginner in programming and do strugle a bit.
So I'm building a TCP peer to peer Chat and that requires me to divide the tasks -> Threads.
So I want to built a Thread for the "writing" part of that connection (Scanner, DataOutputStream etc.) In order to do that i implemented Runnable and that forces me to write my Thread in the overwritten run() method.
Now I have a bit of a problem, because in Order to send my messages out to the "other end (another client) I need the "socket.getOutputStream" but I cant use it in the run() method and i dont know how to fix this problem, sitting already a week on this problem. Any ideas ?

Multiple possibilities.
Use static variables. Normally you would not do that, but because your code is all-static, you could
Use member variables in an OO-style code.
If you wanted to do it properly, you'd split the server into two parts:
The ServerSocket listener that only listens to connections (Socket connectionToClient = ss.accept), and whenever a connection comes in, creates a new
ClientHandler, passes in the Socket, and the ClientHandler then starts its own thread internally
This way, the ClientHandler has all the data it needs (again as member variables) and can work on its own concerns (aka 'separation of concerns).
Update
This is what I created. Really simple.
Start Server
Start 1st client
Start 2nd client
In any client, type message
Other client receives it

From here on, there's now more ways you can extend this client/server communication:
use opcodes (read/write int constants or enums before data) to distinguish for special operations and/or messages (like this here puts an asterisk in front of the string to prevent re-re-laying the same message indefinitely over the network)
read multiple strings for user, message, additional options
implement this is a user friendly UI so you dont have to use console I/O
Update 2
The pure peer-to-peer solution is this one.
If the app is run without params, it goes into listening mode, waiting for a connection.
If the app is run with one arguments, it interprets it as listening port and also goes into listening mode.
If the app is un with [hostname] [port] arguments, it will try to connect there
Example:
start first app without arguments (listening)
start second app with arguments "localhost 7642" (connecting)
both apps will now
connect,
then set up I/O resources,
then start the listening thread for incoming messages
then go into the read-keyboard-and-write-to-socket loop
now you can type a message in one of the apps, the other one will receive it

I'm writing a TCP multi Client/Server app that works in an infinite loop.
What happens:
Client types "COMMANDS" and expects to get available commands from server.
Server sends lines to client.
Client reads server input line-by-line and is stuck after the last one is written.
Expected result:
Client is prompted for keyboard input.
Input is written to server.
Server sends back text.
Client reads server input line-by-line.
End of loop.
user types commands > server responds > user gets to type commands again
I know that BufferedReader would stop reading lines once I close the socket. However, that's not what we want since it has to work infinitely.
How do I exit the loop?

your client is waiting for more lines.
In your code
while ((line = clientInput.readLine()) != null) {
System.out.println(line);
}
clientInput.readLine() will never return null if server does not close the connection. The execution stops waiting more data.
I suggest to implements a solution like insert an empty line or a special char to signal the client that the response to the command is finished.

I wrote a java application for both Server and Client. What I want to do is stop the Client's application(and all of it's threads) when the user enters the word: "logout". I've tried everything I could find so kinda desperate here. Please send help!

// getting localhost ip
InetAddress ip = InetAddress.getByName("localhost");
// establish the connection
Socket s = new Socket(ip, ServerPort);
// obtaining input and out streams
DataInputStream dis = new DataInputStream(s.getInputStream());
DataOutputStream dos = new DataOutputStream(s.getOutputStream());
// sendMessage thread
Thread sendMessage = new Thread(new Runnable()
{
#Override
public void run() {
while (running) {
// read the message to deliver.
try {
String msg = scn.nextLine();
if(msg == "logout") {
running = false;
dis.close();
dos.close();
scn.close();
s.close();
Thread.currentThread().interrupt();
break;
}
dos.writeUTF(msg);
}
catch (IOException e) {
if(!running) {
System.out.println("Closing...");
System.exit(0);
}
}
} }
});
// readMessage thread
Thread readMessage = new Thread(new Runnable()
{
#Override

Don't compare Strings with == but with equals(). msg == "logout" Should be msg.equals("logout").
Try to do some concurrent messaging between the server and the client. When they first connect to eachother and the Server sends the test string, the client gets it perfectly fine the first time. And the client can SEND messages just fine to the Server. But my Client class cant constantly check for messages like my Server can and idk what's wrong. Any suggestions?

Streams cannot be re-wrapped. Once assigned to a wrapper, they must use that wrapper for the entire life-cycle of the stream. You also shouldn't close a stream until you are done using it, which in this case isn't until your client and server are done communicating.
In your current code, there are a few times where you re-initialize streams:
while (true) {
try {
//Each loop, this reader will attempt to re-wrap the input stream
BufferedReader br = new BufferedReader(new InputStreamReader(skt.getInputStream()));
String incomingMessage = br.readLine();
if (incomingMessage != null) {
System.out.println("Server: Received message: " + incomingMessage);
processMessage(incomingMessage);
}
//don't close your stream and socket so early!
br.close();
skt.close();
} catch (Exception e) {
//...
}
You get the idea; you can use this knowledge to find the stream problems in your client code as well.
With that said, servers are the middle-man between multiple clients. If you want to be able to type in the server's console to send a message to clients, it shouldn't go to only 1 client (unless you had a system that allowed you to specify a name). You need to store every connection in some kind of collection so when you type in the server's console, it goes to every client that's connected. This also helps when a client wants to send a message to every other client (global message). The server's main thread is primarily for accepting clients; I created another thread to allow you to type in the console.
As for your streams, you should create them whenever you start the ClientTask, both server side and client side:
public class Server {
private ExecutorService executor = Executors.newFixedThreadPool(10);
private Set<User> users = new HashSet<>();
private boolean running;
private int port;
public Server(int port) {
this.port = port;
}
public void start() {
running = true;
Runnable acceptor = () -> {
try(ServerSocket ss = new ServerSocket(port)) {
while(running) {
User client = new User(ss.accept());
users.add(client);
executor.execute(client);
}
} catch(IOException e) {
//if a server is already running on this port;
//if the port is not open;
e.printStackTrace();
}
};
Runnable userInputReader = () -> {
try(Scanner scanner = new Scanner(System.in)) {
while(running) {
String input = scanner.nextLine();
for(User user : users) {
user.send(input);
}
}
} catch(IOException e) {
//problem sending data;
e.printStackTrace();
}
};
Thread acceptorThread = new Thread(acceptor);
Thread userThread = new Thread(userInputReader);
acceptorThread.start();
userThread.start();
}
public void stop() {
running = false;
}
public static void main(String[] args) {
new Server(15180).start();
System.out.println("Server started!");
}
}
In the run() method is where the streams should be wrapped.
class User implements Runnable {
private Socket socket;
private boolean connected;
private DataOutputStream out; //so we can access from the #send(String) method
public User(Socket socket) {
this.socket = socket;
}
public void run() {
connected = true;
try(DataInputStream in = new DataInputStream(socket.getInputStream())) {
out = new DataOutputStream(socket.getOutputStream());
while(connected) {
String data = in.readUTF();
System.out.println("From client: "+data);
//send to all clients
}
} catch(IOException e) {
//if there's a problem initializing streams;
//if socket closes while attempting to read from it;
e.printStackTrace();
}
}
public void send(String message) throws IOException {
if(connected) {
out.writeUTF(message);
out.flush();
}
}
}
It's pretty much the same idea with the client:
1. Connect to Server
2. Create "communication" thread
3. Create "user input" thread (to receive input from console)
4. Start threads
public class Client {
private final String host;
private final int port;
private boolean connected;
private Socket socket;
public Client(String host, int port) {
this.host = host;
this.port = port;
}
public void start() throws IOException {
connected = true;
socket = new Socket(host, port);
Runnable serverInputReader = () -> {
try (DataInputStream in = new DataInputStream(socket.getInputStream())) {
while (connected) {
String data = in.readUTF();
System.out.println(data);
}
} catch (IOException e) {
// problem connecting to server; problem wrapping stream; problem receiving data from server;
e.printStackTrace();
}
};
Runnable userInputReader = () -> {
try (DataOutputStream out = new DataOutputStream(socket.getOutputStream());
Scanner scanner = new Scanner(System.in)) {
while (connected) {
String input = scanner.nextLine();
out.writeUTF(input);
}
} catch (IOException e) {
//problem wrapping stream; problem sending data;
e.printStackTrace();
}
};
Thread communicateThread = new Thread(serverInputReader);
Thread userThread = new Thread(userInputReader);
communicateThread.start();
userThread.start();
}
public static void main(String[] args) throws IOException {
new Client("localhost", 15180).start();
}
}
There are a few things I used in the code above that you may not be familiar with. They help simplify the syntax for your code:
Lambda Expressions - Prevents the need to create an anonymous class (or subclass) to declare a method
Try-With-Resources - Closes the resources specified automatically once the try block as ended
EDIT
When a user connects, you should store their connection by name or id. That way, you can send data to specific users. Even if your client is running on the same machine as the server, it's still the same idea: client connects to server, server sends message to client based on name or id:
while(running) {
User client = new User(ss.accept());
users.add(client); //add to set
executor.execute(client);
}
Right now, you are simply adding users to a Set. There is currently no way to grab a specific value from this set. What you need to do is give it some kind of "key". To give you an idea, here's an old algorithm I used to use. I have an array full of empty slots. When someone connects, I look for the first empty slot. Once an empty slot is found, I pass the user the index of the array it's being stored at (that will be the user's id), then store the user in the array at the specified index. When you need to send a message to someone, you can use the id to access that specific array index, grab the user you want and send a message:
class Server {
private int maxConnections = 10;
private ExecutorService executor = Executors.newFixedThreadPool(maxConnections);
private User[] users = new User[maxConnections];
//...
while(running) {
Socket socket = ss.accept();
for(int i = 0; i < users.length; i++) {
if(users[i] == null) {
users[i] = new User(socket, i);
executor.execute(users[i]);
break;
}
}
}
//...
public static void sendGlobalMessage(String message) throws IOException {
for(User user : users)
if(user != null)
user.send(message);
}
public static void sendPrivateMessage(String message, int id) {
User user = users[id];
if(user != null) {
user.send(message);
}
}
}
class User {
private Socket socket;
private int id;
private DataOutputStream out;
public User(Socket socket, int id) {
this.socket = socket;
this.id = id;
}
public void send(String message) throws IOException {
out.writeUTF(message);
out.flush();
}
public void run() {
DataInputStream in;
//wrap in and out streams
while(connected) {
String data = in.readUTF();
//Server.sendGlobalMessage(data);
//Server.sendPrivateMessage(data, ...);
sendMessage(data); //sends message back to client
}
}
}
I want to send x object over socket but when I run this code i got nothings.
it is stop at new ObjectInputStream(socket.getInputStream())
and don't do any thing else.
Server class:
public class Server {
private static final int PORT = 9001;
ServerSocket listener;
private Handler h[] = new Handler[5];
private int clientCount = 0;
public Server() throws Exception{
System.out.println("The server is running.");
listener = new ServerSocket(PORT);
run();
}
public void run(){
while (true) {
try {
addClient(listener.accept());
} catch (Exception e) {
e.printStackTrace();
}
}
}
private void addClient(Socket socket) throws Exception{
h[clientCount] = new Handler(this, socket,clientCount);
h[clientCount].open();
clientCount++;
}
public static void main(String[] args) throws Exception {
Server s = new Server();
}
}
Handler class // Handle class:
public class Handler extends Thread {
private Server server;
private Socket socket;
private int ID = -1;
private ObjectInputStream obIn = null;
private ObjectOutputStream obOut = null;
public Handler(Server _server, Socket _socket, int i){
super();
server = _server;
socket = _socket;
ID = i;
}
public void open()
{
try {
obIn = new ObjectInputStream(socket.getInputStream());
obOut = new ObjectOutputStream(socket.getOutputStream());
x= ob.readObject();
} catch (Exception e) {
e.printStackTrace();
}
}
}
The client:
public class Client {
ObjectInputStream oin;
ObjectOutputStream oot;
private Socket socket = null;
public Client() {
String serverAddress = "127.0.0.1";
try {
socket = new Socket(serverAddress, 9001);
oin = new ObjectInputStream(socket.getInputStream());
oot = new ObjectOutputStream(socket.getOutputStream());
System.out.println("hello i am a client");
oot.writeObject(x);
} catch (Exception e) {
e.printStackTrace();
}
}
public static void main(String[] args) throws Exception {
Client client = new Client();
}
}
You must declare the ObjectOutputStream before you declare the ObjectInputStream.
When you create an ObjectInputStream, it waits for data from an ObjectOutputStream. It's waiting on that data (the header).
public ObjectInputStream(InputStream in) throws IOException {
verifySubclass();
bin = new BlockDataInputStream(in);
handles = new HandleTable(10);
vlist = new ValidationList();
enableOverride = false;
readStreamHeader(); //this is whats causing it to block
bin.setBlockDataMode(true);
}
protected void readStreamHeader() throws IOException, StreamCorruptedException {
short s0 = bin.readShort();
short s1 = bin.readShort();
if (s0 != STREAM_MAGIC || s1 != STREAM_VERSION) {
throw new StreamCorruptedException(String.format("invalid stream header: %04X%04X", s0, s1));
}
}
If you declare ObjectOutputStream first, it sends the data, which isn't blocking
