Send messages to clients selectively?

I used BufferedWriter.flush() to send clients messages that the server read in from one client. But this sends the message to every socket-connected client. How can I send a message to a particular client(s)? Help, please.

Can you share some more information? How you are keeping track of client connections? Are you using java.net.MulticastSocket?

No I am not using java.net.MulticastSocket. I am keeping an ArrayList of client socket objects on the server socket. Everytime a client logs in, the client notify the server to add one more client connection into the ArrayList. This is how I keep tract of my client connections.

OK, so at some point you must iterate through this ArrayList, opening an OutputStream (and BufferedOutputStream) on each, and writing the data to each socket in turn, right?
