this is my Main class which belongs to the server application! but it is really surprizing that without running the client application,these sentences will be written in the console.would you please help me why?thanks.
my Main class:
public class Main {
static Socket client = null;

// We can have 10 clients' connections
static ClientThread t[] = new ClientThread[10];
public static void main(String args[]) {

System.out.println("Server is listening...");
try {
server = new ServerSocket(5050);
System.out.println("Client Connected...");
while (true) {
client = server.accept();
for (int i = 0; i <= 9; i++) {
if (t[i] == null) {
(t[i] = new ClientThread(client, t)).start();
break;
}
}
}
} catch (IOException e) {
System.out.println(e);
}
}
}
// This client thread opens the input and the output streams for a particular client,

class ClientThread extends Thread {
DataInputStream is = null;

try {
is = new DataInputStream(clientSocket.getInputStream());
os = new PrintStream(clientSocket.getOutputStream());
os.println("Enter your name.");
name = is.readLine();
os.println("Hello " + name + " to our chat room.\nTo leave enter /quit in a new line");
for (int i = 0; i <= 9; i++) {
if (t[i] != null && t[i] != this) {

}
}
// close the output stream
// close the input stream
// close the socket
is.close();
os.close();
clientSocket.close();
} catch (IOException e) {
System.out.println(e);
}
}}
in the console:
init:
deps-jar:
compile-single:
run-single:
Server is starting...
Server is listening...
Client Connected...
you create a Socket and declare that the client is connected before accepting a connection :
server = new ServerSocket(5050);
System.out.println("Client Connected...");
you should print
client is connected
after this line
client = server.accept();
which blocks until a client actually connects

There are two files (client file, server file) in this program that are supposed to be able to send and receive messages (utf-8 strings) to each other. Each file has a thread (one thread for client, one thread for server)
The client and the server connect on localhost with a port number (it should be the same port number when typing on the command prompt / mac terminal window)
However, the server is supposed to only send messages to all the other clients after receiving a message from a client. In other words, if a client sends a message to the server, the server cannot send that message back to the same client--it can only send messages to the different clients.
Another way to say it: Once a client is connected, it can send messages to the server. It will also receive from the server all messages sent from the other connected clients (not the messages sent from itself).
At runtime, there is supposed to be only one server (mac terminal / command prompt windows) but there can be multiple/infinite number of clients (mac terminal / command prompt windows)

These two errors have been covered many times and I've heard that the answer is to put the socket in a loop, which it already is in (while loop).
My question is: Is there a way to locate the errors before running it? Whenever I compile the program I don't get any errors in eclipse, but when I run it in the command prompt window / mac terminal, it does tell me that something is wrong. Or perhaps there's a line of code that I'm overlooking?
ServerSocket serverSocket = new ServerSocket(port_number1);
Place it once, before the while loop.
I've stumbled upon this interesting tutorial on multiple client-server chat model. I understood everything except for one thing. In the implementation of class MultiThreadChatServerSync, he explains that we need to synchronize parts of the code because of the different threads that are sharing the same resource which is the field
private final clientThread[] threads;
I've read plenty of articles on how synchronized(this) works. How is this code synchronizing the blocks of statement if 'this' refers to an instance of a thread? Let's say thread[0] enters a synchronized(this) statement so it obtains the monitor of itself. Meanwhile thread[1] enters a synchronized(this) statement aswell but it wouldn't get blocked because it would be obtaining the monitor of its own instance and not thread[0]'s monitor. Can someone explain to me why this code is synchronized? Am I missing something?
Here is a link to the article. I am unable to link to the specific part. So just search for the sentence 'public class MultiThreadChatServerSync'.

the author states that "All synchronized(this){} statements exclude mutually each other. It means,..."
If you take it out of context, that statement is blatantly false.
The only context that could make it true is if the author is talking about all of the synchronized(this) {...} statements in some particular example, and all of them are in instance methods belonging to the same class, and only one instance of the class is ever in use at any given time.

any idea how to fix the data[2]?
Check if the array has at least 3 elements. That is, change

I am aware of the fact that the following code may seem vulgar, but I am new to these things and just tried everything in order to get it to work..
Problem: Even though I am using (possible in a wrong way) a CyclicBarrier, one - and seems to always be the same - thread stops too soon and prints out his vector, leaving 1 out of 11 of those "Incoming connection" messages absent. There is probably something terribly wrong with the last iteration of my loop, but I can't seem to find what exactly.. Now the program just loops waiting to process the last connection.

To clarify, here are the formats of the files used. Config contains hostnames and ports used by clients that are threads and input file's rows mean either "this client sends a message to that client" or "this client increments his logical clock by some constant value".
1 M 2 (M means sending a message)
2 M 3
3 M 4
2 L 7 (L means incrementing clock)
2 M 1
...
127.0.0.1 9000
127.0.0.1 9001
127.0.0.1 9002
127.0.0.1 9003
...
I would look at the logic related to when you are expecting an incoming socket connection. From your question it looks like you expect a certain number of incoming socket connections (potentially an incoming connection after every outgoing message?). Since you are using non-blocking I/O on the incoming socket it is always possible that your while statement loops before an incoming socket could be established. As a result, a thread would be able to continue and read the next line from the file without receiving a connection. Since your end state is reached once the end of the file is reached, it is possible that you may miss an incoming socket connection.
I would add some simple print outs that displays when you read from the file, when you send a message and when you receive an incoming connection. That should quickly tell you whether or not a particular thread is missing an expected incoming connection. If it turns out that the problem is due to the non-blocking I/O, then you may need to disable non-blocking I/O when you expect an incoming socket or implement a control that keeps track of how many incoming sockets you expect and continues until that goal is met.
Hope this helps.
I'm trying to get a live flash that lives on a webserver to talk to a local java server, that will live on the clients PC.
I'm trying to achieve this with a socket connection. (port 6000)
Now, at first flash was able to connect, but it just sends <policy-file-request/>. After this nothing happens.
Now, some people at Kirupa suggested to send an cross-domain-policy xml as soon as any connection is established from the java side. http://www.kirupa.com/forum/showthread.php?t=301625
However, my java server just throws the following:
End Exception: java.net.SocketException: Software caused connection abort: recv failed
I've already spend a great amount of time on this subject, and was wondering if anyone here knows what to do?
I found the anwser, So ill post it here in case someone with a simmilar question finds this post.
The moment Flash connects to a local socket server it will send the following:
<policy-file-request/>
We will have to answer with a policy file and immediatly close the connection.
