SocketException

Hi
I have written a simple client server program to mimic the core processes of a bank i.e. withraw, deposit etc. The server can handle multiple clients, but when i close down one client window i get the following error.
****************************************************************
java.net.SocketException: Connection reset by peer: JVM_recv in socket input str

Can anyone tell me how to solve this problem please.
Thanks

This occurs when a thread tries to write to a socket which has already been closed at the other end.

Indeed. Having a client hanging up on you is a legitimate error condition and the resulting exception is something you'll simply have to catch and handle (clean up what needs cleaning up and otherwise ignore it is often sufficient).
On a completely different note, I suggest that ServerHandler should not extend Thread, but simply implement Runnable. That way, you can more easily fit a thread pool into your server later if need be.
